My Sister's Machine

The Profile

Seattle-based rock band formed in the late 1980s, led by Nick Pollock; released debut album Diva (1992) and follow-up Wallflower (1993) before disbanding in the early 1990s.

Nick Pollock is highlighted by the reviewer as having laid early groundwork alongside Layne Staley for the first embryo of Alice In Chains. The band's sound on Diva is described as aggressive, with heavy fuzz guitar, grunge influences (Alice In Chains, Soundgarden) and crossover-tinged bass work.

The DeBaser review celebrates My Sister's Machine's debut Diva as an aggressive, tightly written Seattle-born record driven by Nick Pollock's charismatic voice. The album is placed alongside early Alice In Chains and Soundgarden, with metal and crossover touches and a notable single, "I Hate You." The reviewer notes a follow-up, Wallflower, and laments the band's early end.
