The Sound

Mother/Father artfully manifested a sound which evokes the darker side of 1980's Manchester, England. Yet their inspiration takes shape in a non-linear continuum. Each band member's individual influences serve as a conduit for the golden tones of the 60's, the psychedelic fuzz of the 70's and the raw grunge of the 90's. These compulsions seep into the band's music to create subtle, yet gripping undertones.

The Genesis

Mother/Father started when the four individual members crossed paths while on tour in support of their respective previous projects. The collaboration was instantaneous, as they each quickly realized how much their individual artistic affinities, both musically and visually, were in reality one unified vision.

This new formed alliance paved the way for the members of Mother/Father to work together in a way they never had the freedom to before, creating an aural and visual identity, which attracted the heavy interest of several notable industry professionals, namely producer/engineer Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, The Parlor Mob, Archie Bronson Outfit, Modest Mouse).

Mother/Father then entered into a unique type of business relationship with King and Radical Notion (independent media), a new artist development, artist management, and new media company of which King is a managing partner.

The outcome of this unique relationship has resulted in more artistic liberation, freedom, and ultimately, creativity than most bands, whether indie or major, get to enjoy.

And in the end? Mother/Father is simply this:
A Group Of People Who Like To Create Musical And Visual Art

The Music

In the summer of 2008, Mother/Father entered the studio with Jacquire King and stinson, the other half of the Radical Notion (independent media) equation, to record their debut self-titled EP. Together King, the band, and stinson captured the performances portrayed on the EP with such a unique tone that the end result became a color of sonic soft sizzle, bringing a finishing touch of brilliance to what was already artful perfection.
