The trio, consisting of guitarist and vocalist Sean Morrow, bass player Eric Oppitz, and drummer Rick Sawoscinski, had initially pursued a harder blues-rock sound. In 2008, they released Eight Styles to the Unholy under the SikSik Nation moniker before deciding it was time for a change. The band began to explore a darker, more atmospheric sound, tempering their blues with looser garage/psych. The results of their sonic experiments would bear fruit in 2009 when the band changed their name and released their first album under their new moniker, the self-titled Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor. ~ Gregory Heaney
