Twisted Sister

Hair metal band

Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band formed in 1972, best known for anthemic 1980s hits and flamboyant glam-metal style.

The band became a symbol of youth rebellion, particularly during the 1985 PMRC hearings when frontman Dee Snider testified before Congress against music censorship.

We're Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock remain arena rock staples.
