Playful as a puppy but smart as a whip, New Brunswick, Canada’s MOTHERHOOD has a knack for packing deeply conceptual art rock into a delightfully unpretentious package. Oft-described as “evil Beach Boys”, the trio blends the ferocity of punk, the finesse of surf, and the raw energy of garage into something as complex as it is endearing. Their forthcoming full-length, Thunder Perfect Mind, narrates the sudden abduction of an unsuspecting pedestrian by a “dark, expanding Cloud”. To eclipse what controls, the only way out is through. But what lies beyond the Cloud? Influenced as much by Bad Brains as Ennio Morricone, Motherhood happily march to the beat of their own maniacal drum. Motherhood’s genius lies in their ability to set deep thoughts to rippin’ riffs, Trojan horsing their serpentine songwriting under the guise of rock n’ roll.
