Jason Blackmore (Molly McGuire) and Mario Quintero (Spotlights) have combined forces with their new band known as Sisters. The duo’s new single “Feet On The Ground” appears on the upcoming album Leecheater, which will be released August 25th, 2023 on Spartan Records.
The album, Leecheater, is an exploration of heavy, atmospheric Rock. It will be available in multiple formats, including vinyl. The first pressing is limited to 300 copies in Parasite (Violet / Black Quintuple Stripe). It has a full color jacket printed on reverseboard stock and full-color printed innersleeve.
Lyrically the new record includes “ruminations on drugs, death, religion, and love.” Produced at Quintero’s home studio in Pittsburgh, the majority of Leecheater was recorded live over the course of two sessions.
Blackmore says:
Recording has become much easier as I get older. I used to get stressed out and uncomfortable because I wanted everything to be perfect, and I had everything pretty much musically orchestrated and mapped out in my head going into a studio [but] Mario is a genius. He is a natural. He has the technical side of recording down. Which I do not.
So it’s the definition of teamwork. I bring in the songs and he knows exactly how to get the right sounds – when you are recording with one of your best friends in his home studio it’s effortless, stressless and magical.
The band will be supporting the release with live dates starting on the West Coast in the Fall.
