Jordan Morrison of All Your Sisters is a pretty no bullshit guy. When it comes to guitars and synths, he wants the tones from the records he loves. Period. Not that he hasn't done his share of experimenting, but for the time being and foreseeable future, Jordan is focused on the good stuff. And the good stuff is tasty goth and post punk-influenced dance jams, which AYS aptly delivers.
The point, in this situation, is a bunch of great guitar tone that takes a cue or two from Bernard Sumners of Joy Division; undeniably just what the doctor ordered for the kind of sad, romantic and very danceable songs Jordan writes.
Refreshingly, Jordan’s audible sadness (every goth-influenced singer needs some) comes from somewhere other than love/hating women or love/hating himself. Instead, his relationship with the very depressing stems from the years he spent in his early 20’s working the graveyard shift as a paramedic in Reno, an experience he says killed his innocence.
“I was really naive. I feel like the things I encountered destroyed ideas I used to have that life was beautiful. I saw the very worst in people, night after night,” Jordan mused, solemnly.
He told me that it was during this part of his life that he lost hope. I, having been to Reno once for upward of two days, completely understand.
Fortunately for Jordan and fortunately for us, he no longer lives in Reno. He lives in San Francisco, where his band All Your Sisters is headlining a show at the Hemlock Tavern tomorrow night (Jan 30th). - UPTOWN ALMANAC

Jordan Morrison is a recent transplant to Oakland as well as the leader of All Your Sisters. “An Awakening” fuses noisy pop to pulsating synth lines, and if you like classic-sounding post-punk, you’ll enjoy this one, as well as a few more from AYS which I’ve posted below. The band will be at SUB-Mission tonight, and at a house show in Oakland with Some Ember on Wednesday, before heading north on tour.

Bio
All Your Sisters is a San Francisco based post-punk band comprised of Jordan Morrison and Mario Armando Ruiz. Their combined sound is brooding with Jordans deep, often effected wailing echoes in the distance while the pulsing rhythms drive each track. With a modest offering of releases on Soundcloud, a string of tours along the West Coast, and a mysterious, hand-made black cassette sold exclusively at their shows, All Your Sisters have built a straightforward sound and aesthetic that sounds and feels strangely familiar.
All Your Sisters are set to release their first official full length early 2014 with supporting tours in the US and Europe.
