Command Sisters
"I Like It"
15 MAY 2020 (TORONTO, ON) – Introducing the band that will eventually need no introduction: Command Sisters. Comprised of Charlotte [vocals, keys] and Sarah Command [guitar] (yes Command is their real last name!), the Alberta-born and Toronto-based sibling duo unleash their debut single “I Can Do What I Want To” today via 21 Entertainment/Universal Music Canada/Republic Records.
If they stepped out of a frame from a Quentin Tarantino flick, no one would question it...and yes, “Command" is their real name.
Highlighting high fashion heat and even hotter hooks, Command Sisters exert this effect on tape, on stage, and everywhere else for that matter. The sisterly duo—Charlotte and Sarah Command—turn life’s ups and downs into eloquent and entrancing alternative underpinned by live instrumentation and bold production. From music to fashion, the Toronto band make a statement with everything they do. “We are a yin and yang, my sister and I. Both literally and figuratively; Charlotte’s hair is usually black, and mine is blonde or white. Our look reflects our synergy; the songs that Charlotte writes partnered with the instrumentation I bring. This is our identity.”
Embedding themselves in the Toronto scene during 2016, they honed a combination of killer songcraft, social media savvy, and IDGAF fashion, attracting a growing following on both sides of the border. Along the way, they inked a deal with 21 Entertainment and Universal Music Canada. The two immediately hit the studio and focused on crafting a scorching signature sonic style influenced by everyone from The 1975 to Alanis Morissette, Hall & Oates to Lenny Kravitz. The sisters introduce this style on their debut single “I Can Do What I Want To,” recorded in LA with Tim Pagnotta (Walk The Moon, Weezer, Blink 182, Neon Trees). The title says it all – this song is about empowerment, standing up for yourself and pure freedom. The lyrics seem to echo the sentiment we’re all feeling during this pandemic. “I am breaking free, you can’t control me.” Pair the hard-hitting rhythms with screaming guitar lead and you’ve got a pre-quarantine song primed for the quarantined listener.
With their debut release and upcoming touring, Command Sisters’ are on track to complete their mission and move listeners in the process. “We’re two sisters who love making music,” Charlotte leaves off. “I want listeners to see that. We pour our hearts and souls into this. Hopefully, it makes you feel something.”
Today the Command Sisters, comprised of Charlotte [vocals, keys] and Sarah Command [guitar, vocals] released the brand new track “I Like It”.
“I Like It” takes the listener into the exact moment I realized I was falling extremely hard for someone”, says Sarah. "It was intense, scary, and exhilarating all at the same time.” Charlotte adds, "When I was writing I Like It, I was inspired by those exact relationships were falling for someone who feels like jumping off a cliff... but you like it and jump anyway.”
“I Like It,” was recorded in Los Angeles by award-winning producer Tim Pagnotta (Walk The Moon, Weezer, Blink 182, Neon Trees). Shakers, a cash register sample, and a groan of distortion give way to a seductive verse as the vocals flutter just above a skittering beat. Guitars kick on the hook as they confidently announce, “I’m on fire.”
The new track follows the duos debut single, “I Can Do What I Want To”, released in May.
''I can't wait to see this dynamic duo stepping onto the award stage to receive their first of many'', says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief for NOW and THEN Magazine.
ABOUT COMMAND SISTERS
Command Sisters—Charlotte and Sarah Command—wield the power to turn popular culture red, the color being a signature feature of a finely-crafted image. After playing together since childhood, the siblings honed on a distinct sound and style that has brought them to what you get today. Sarah drew on a lifelong love of shred gods, such as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Orianthi, as Charlotte nodded to the songcraft of Sia and The Weeknd, cultivating a sharp signature sound steeped in mind-blowing musicality and tight hooks. Their sense of style got just as loud with a crimson take on high fashion. This careful presentation turned heads. Not only did they perform across the United States and Canada, but they attracted partners such as Martin Guitars, PRS Guitars, Marshall Amps, MAC Cosmetics, and Boss/Roland, to name a few. Additionally, they cultivated a fervent social media following through consistently eye-popping posts. Mind you, they impressively did all of this without one official release. After inking a deal with 21 Entertainment, Universal Music Canada, and Republic Records, Command Sisters are primed for a bold breakthrough with the 2020 singles “I Can Do What I Want To” and “I Like It,”
