Sistahs is the debut album of Big Joanie. It was released in 2018 on Thurston Moore and Eva Prinz's Daydream Library Series label after the two saw the band open for The Ex and discovered that the band had yet to release an album.
Sistahs holds musical footing in art punk, post-punk and "fearlessly discordant" punk rock. It has been noted for pushing the latter genre forward. However, its songs are musically eclectic and experimental, with goth, jangle pop, lo-fi and trance sounds nestled in it.
Leading single "Fall Asleep" is a "tough" dance-punk song that "burst(s) forth with synths and handclaps", recalling 80s and 90s sounds. It also dons a "power pop base" and a "light new wave trance". "Used To Be Friends" takes on early-80s indie pop while echoing riot grrrl. "Down Down" is "sexy" surf rock with "a demented surf pop riff". "How Could You Love Me" has "rolling" melodies of 50s power pop.
