Single Mothers
Avec un début dans la vie musicale aussi rock’n’roll, les canadiens de Single Mothers ne pouvaient pas faire autrement que de présenter un punk-rock des plus décoiffant. Turn-over de membres, faux départ d’album –ayant pourtant attiré l’attention de Los Angeles- et autres déboires adolescents, le groupe emmené par Drew Thomson a su révéler au monde ce qu’il avait dans le ventre. En 2012, les Single Mothers ressortent l’énergie bouillonnante qui les tient debout et sortent Negative Qualities, un premier album scellé de leurs propres mains. De l’énergie brute, du punk haut de gamme et du féroce venu tout droit des villages fantômes d’Ontario.

We almost didn’t make this record – I was half drowning in boxes of wine and the band was two members short when I got a call from a guy working at this studio asking if Single Mothers would come check it out. I assumed the studio was in a slump and trying to bring in some business but I was also in a slump so I called up Brandon (our drummer) and checked it out. The studio’s name is Jukasa and it’s located on a Reserve called Ohsweken about half an hour outside Hamilton, ON, the city I’ve lived in for the last 2 years. Ohsweken is beautiful, and the studio is like a big brick box thrown on top of a grassy green paradise. We got in, took the tour and immediately booked the time for Single Mothers next record. We didn’t have any songs or enough members, but, going into recording, we never have. It was a familiar mess and we welcomed it.
