Album Notes

Mother & Father sound like a punch to the face and are not adverse to writing a finely structured punk pop song. They will take you on a wild ride through a slippery slope of guitar loopings, driving drum beats and a voice that sounds like it’s gargled concrete for breakfast. They are hell good. Their debut album Nothin’ (CD & vinyl) is available in August 2009 worldwide via Melbourne-based Z-Man Records.

Three likely lads formerly of Victorian Goldrush town Bendigo, and now living in Melbourne (Australia), Mother & Father teamed up two years ago and proved that there really is gold in dem-dar hills. They love creating music together that has leanings towards a certain grunge idol named Kurt.

It would be easy to write Mother & Father off as yet another ‘grunge revivalist’ band. But Mother & Father are more than just that. Hell yes. Their ability to take from the old and make it new again is what holds them ahead of the pack.

Mother & Father create songs that will melt ya mothers’ face off with their explosive, crunching, SuperMuffed, menacing chords interwoven with ferocious bursts of pop-chunks. They cite their influences as The Gun Club, The Stabs, The Pixies, Fang!, Joy Division, The Troggs, The Beatles, David Bowie, Neil Young and justifiably Nirvana.

Comprising of Greg Kerslake (guitar/vocals), Andrew Tolley (bass), and Andrew Howard (drums) they are relatively new to the music scene, and have played with the likes of The Stabs, Witch Hats, Talons, Neon, The Twerps, and Circle Pit. Mother & Father have a very bright future ahead of them indeed.
