“Every second they were on stage, the stage was on fire!” – Huffington Post
“Sihasin is an awesome independent Navajo Punk Rock duo who sings ear opening and honest songs about the social injustices that are taking over society at an alarming rate. The duo’s latest album, “Fight Like a Woman” will remind listeners everywhere to fight like hell for social equality and peace on earth.” – Jersey Beat
“Music as protest, a way to spread ideas, and bring people together is an old tradition here in the USofA. While it peaked in the 60’s, there continues to be bands that use music to reach people and to affect change. In 1992 while on tour with The Ramones, I met the Benally family. At the time they were a young band going by the name Blackfire. I loved them for their passion and anger, and in a world where everyone seemed to be looking for something to protest, as members of the Navajo Nation, their struggle was and is real. We worked together on their first record (which almost prophetically was drum and bass heavy) and I have watched them grow into the people they are and the band they’ve become. Sihasin is the culmination of years making music and activism the tools to help bring about social and environmental justice. On this new record “Fight Like A Woman” Jeneda and Clayson strive for those ideals through their words and their music with the same passion as the young band I met 25+ years ago. Hear with your ears but listen with your heart.
Love to you both Brother and Sister.” -CJ Ramone – The Ramones
