Mother Mother Explore Their Grief Chapter

by | Feb 16, 2024

Canada’s biggest alt-rock export Mother Mother have released their highly anticipated album Grief Chapter. The album marks a new era in the group’s constantly evolving story, kickstarted by an organic groundswell of young, passionate fans who have all found community in the band’s songs. Sonically, Grief Chapter’s twelve songs are some of Mother Mother’s most dynamic.

Regarding the album, frontman Ryan Guldemond says, “We’ve been playing the biggest stages of our career over the last few years, feeling more like a high energy rock band than we’ve ever felt. It’s natural, I think, that this charged frequency found its way into the record. In the studio, our instinct was to make things hit hard and feel powerful, and the band as a whole felt very honed to execute in this way.”

With the release of the band’s ninth studio album, the group also shared a new video for Explode!. Guldemond says of the track, “This song is about the desire to live so fully that one becomes overzealous and manic about it. There’s a fear-based element within striving so hard: fear of death, fear of time running out, and fear of not doing enough. Thus, we end up doing too much and, in turn, getting tired, losing our ability to be present, and ultimately never finding peace.”

Wyatt Flores Brings Honest Heart And Sharp Style To London’s Roundhouse

On a crisp October night at London’s Roundhouse, Wyatt Flores stepped onto the stage to a roaring crowd, his name echoing around the vaulted room with a force that surprised even him. Supporting 49 Winchester on their UK run, the Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter might technically have been the opener, but from the reaction that greeted him, it was clear many had come just as much for Wyatt.
