Combining all three is Sister Sin, a female-fronted quartet who favor revved up, stripped down rock ’n’ roll with a no-nonsense, old school bent.

“What’s hot and new? Never cared, won’t ever do,” frontwoman Liv Jagrell announces on “In It For Life,” from the group’s latest disc, “Now and Forever.”

Doesn’t sound like your thing?
