Biography

Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band from New York City. Their work fuses the shock tactics of Alice Cooper, the rebellious mood of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and the extravagant image of glam rock bands. The band is generally categorized as glam metal for their earlier work, although the band does not consider themselves to be so. Twisted Sister's most well-known hits include "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock", both popularized in the USA by regular airplay on MTV tv channel in the 1980s. Many of the band's songs explore themes of parent vs. child conflicts and criticisms of the educational system
