Family Values With BRENNAN & AUSTIN MILETO From SISTERS DOLL

Interview by Kris Peters
While the term family is often bandied about in the world of music,
it is generally used as more of an affectionate term when used to
describe the bond that develops between band members.
Not often is it used in the literal term. But when it is, you can
be sure that you are in for something special.
Think Angus and Malcolm Young from AC/DC, Andrew Farriss, Jon
Farriss, and Tim Farriss (INXS), Eddie and Alex Van Halen to name
but a few, but while the natural chemistry of siblings is a
powerful force when harnessed by verse, it is an all too rare
occurrence.
Looking through that list, there are a few bands with three family
members spread here and there, but I have yet to come across a band
from the rock persuasion that is made up of four members of the
same family. Until now.
Australia's own Sisters Doll, (Brennan, Austin and Bryce Mileto)
have expanded their numbers by one to include younger brother Sage
as part of their line-up moving forward, with the newest devotee to
rock and roll showcasing his wares on the new track Don't Give Up
On Us, with the music video announcing his addition to the band's
legions of fans.
Brennan and Austin both sat down with HEAVY to talk about the new
song and… well, family.
"It's done really well so far," Brennan enthused of the new track.
"We did a bit of a livestream before the video dropped to build the
suspense and build the hype, because we really believe in this
song. It's kind of been one of our favourites from the album. It is
more of the ballad from the album, but so far we've got a great
response. A lot of good responses on the video too, which is
exciting. Obviously, it unveils our new bass player, which is kind
of the talking point at the moment. Having Sage in there has
sparked a few more people to jump on and have a look - especially
people back home. Compared to the last one Change, which we did
last year, it's probably doing a little bit better."
In the full interview, the boys discussed a range of personal and
professional topics. They talked about the positive response to
their new album's ballad and the unveiling of their new bass
player, Sage. They also discussed the strategic decision to release
the audio before the video to boost streaming numbers and create
anticipation for the music video.
Additionally, they highlighted the need to strategically unveil
Sage to maintain the surprise for the show. They also delved into
the meaning behind their new song Don't Give Up on Us, highlighting
its dual significance related to relationships and the band's
perseverance.
Furthermore, they provided insights into their plans for the album
launch show at Max Watts on January 25 next year, indicating that
it will feature a mix of new and existing songs, with a focus on
gauging audience reception for future performances. They also
discussed the evolution of their performances, emphasizing their
dedication to delivering high energy shows and their commitment to
creating a memorable experience for the audience. The conversation
also covered the band's upcoming plans, including the release of
their new single, pre-orders for the new album, and their upcoming
shows and tours, showcasing the band's excitement for the
future.
