B-Side Guys

Jane Kero leads Sisters through what the half American, half British band calls “dreamy, poetic, weepy rock”—a description that fits “I Can’t See” surprisingly well. The Liverpool group navigates indie dance and post-punk territory while maintaining the introspective edge that connects them to Wolf Alice, PJ Harvey, and The Cardigans. But where those influences might suggest familiar ground, Sisters finds room to experiment without abandoning the catchy hooks that make the track immediately accessible.

The production creates tension between movement and melancholy, letting the post-punk rhythmic drive coexist with dreamier textures. Kero’s songwriting stays direct rather than precious—there’s an emotional honesty here that doesn’t need to announce itself. The track balances accessibility with unpredictability, refusing to settle into either pure dance-floor energy or pure introspection.

What makes “I Can’t See” work is how it embodies the contradiction in Sisters’ self-description. “Weepy rock” could easily become maudlin, but the band’s knack for hooks and willingness to experiment keeps the emotion from overwhelming the song structure. The indie dance elements provide momentum that prevents the introspection from becoming static, while the post-punk framework adds enough edge to distinguish it from softer dream-pop approaches.

Formed in 2024 but conceptualized years before, Sisters has been gaining traction quickly in the Northwest UK scene through features from local music critics and magazines. “I Can’t See” demonstrates why—they’ve arrived with a clear identity that feels both confident and willing to take risks, a combination that’s harder to pull off than it sounds.
