MOTHER MOTHER
mothermothersite.com
Alt-rock band Mother Mother is currently on tour. The band recently released ‘Love Stuck’ single, taken from their new 2017 album No Culture (Def Jam Recordings/Universal Music Canada Inc.).
We saw the band in 2013 and noted, ‚ÄúFor those unfamiliar, Mother Mother is a 5 piece electro band interlaced with an 80 ºs pop style. Needless to say they ºve got an insatiable rad look with catchy lyrics. The band ºs fourth album ‚ÄúThe Sticks‚Äù was released last year with solid reviews from the Vancouver Province and Toronto Star. Canadian radio has to have a high amount of Canadian bands inhabiting the airways, so bands from Canada have usually got it going on (i.e. Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene and Land of talk, just to name a few). Frontman and co-producer of the album Ryan Guldemond has uniqueness for days, with his retro hair and energetic persona onstage.‚Äù

SINGLE MOTHERS
bandcamp.com
Once again, no actual mothers in this band, but Canada’s Single Mothers will be releasing their sophomore LP Our Pleasure out on June 16th via Dine Alone Records and Big Scary Monsters (UK/Europe).
What has the band been up to since they “broke up in 2009”? They’ve just been out touring... and with the forthcoming album, they’re proving they can also write and play new music.
At the moment, you can pre-order the record with the Meltdown EP (2016) vinyl (the first time it’s been available on wax), and the Skylight 7” which includes two bonus tracks from the Our Pleasure recording sessions. Limited to 500 copies. Details at their bandcamp.

VINEGAR MOTHER
vinegarmothermusic.com
Progressive soul outfit Vinegar Mother has a debut EP called The Sunny Seat. Originally released in November 2016, but had a special limited edition cassette in March 2017 via Invertebrate Records.
The secret origin of the band actually started in 2012 with founding members Julia Zivic (lead vocals), Itamar Gov-Ari (keys, guitar and vocals) and Jason Zivic (drums) as Julia Zivic & The Brothers in Connecticut. As things changed and relocating to the Big Apple, they became Vinegar Mother with Zack Slaughter (but replaced by Mike Roninson) on bass and Chris Stelluti on saxophone.
