The Rogers Sisters rock consciously


The Rogers Sisters‘ (now defunct) only full length album The Invisible Deck could be labeled so many things. Heavy bass and drums, dark lyrics, and eerie guitar create a tense atmosphere that at first seems only concerned with partying but when examined closer is much more occupied with world issues of disease, hunger, money, and lack of social consciousness. Nonetheless, the rhythmic almost synth-like guitars and at times sardonic voices still make you want to dance, thrash, and pogo. Though you are dancing to “I don’t care/ It’s not enough/ I want more/ I won’t share” (Money Matters) don’t let it get you down—we can become slightly more aware of the world’s problems while head banging to this delicious album.
