Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian with his wife Pearl Aday, have teamed up with The Cult drummer John Tempesta, Armored Saint bassist Joey Vera, and Mother Superior vocalist Jim Wilson have formed Motor Sister.
Scott Ian spoke of the formation of Motor Sister via Blabbermouth:
“I wanted to cherry-pick a set list of my favorite Mother Superior songs and get these guys together and have the concert at my house.” Which lead them making an album together. Then Ian emailed producer Jay Ruston and asked if he thought it was possible to recapture the same spontaneous energy Motor Sister generated at their makeshift gig, and if an album could be recorded quickly. “He said, ‘Yeah, we can make the record in two days and we can make it sound really good.’ So that’s what we did…A week and a half later, we made the record in L.A. over a two-day period. We recorded the whole thing live in the studio and the set-up was at my house.” He continues: “Jim was totally into the idea. Pearl was a huge Mother Superior fan from way back and was in. I asked my good friends Joey Vera and John Tempesta to be a part of it because I knew they were both big fans as well and with no hesitation they said, ‘We’re in.'”
Their debut album entitled Ride will be released March 10 via Metal Blade Records.
