Classic Cover: DisasterTheory – “Cry Little Sister” (original by Gerard McMann)

7-year-old Railyn the daughter of DisasterTheory’s frontman Mark Thomas makes her vocal debut in the band’s rendition of “Cry Little Sister” the theme song of the movie Lost Boys. The Pittsburgh Nu-Metal act makes their return after their notorious collaboration with rappers Marshall Mathers and Swifty McVay on their song ‘Overcome’.

Mark Thomas had this to say about “Cry Little Sister”:

It’s really not a song we ever thought we would do. My wife ultimately wanted us to do it because it’s a song she really likes and it would give my 7-year-old daughter Railyn the opportunity to officially be on a released track. She has always wanted to be a singer but has never really had an outlet for that until now. Ultimately I think it turned out pretty well.

DisasterTheory utilizes fast-paced riffing on “Cry Little Sister” while still maintaining the original eerie atmosphere of the original version. Railyn’s beautiful singing in the chorus is what makes this rendition of the goth rock classic unique. It’s the ingredient that makes this song even more creepy while breathing new life into it. Railyn’s involvement in her father’s band inspired her to pursue a career in singing and releasing her own music in the future.
