Calling your band Earth Mother Fucker is a statement in and of itself, and having the audacity to go for such an aggressive sounding moniker should stand a project in good stead for the coming years. Should. For this wildly named band, the lights of the stage were few and far between and despite existing for just over a decade, Earth Mother Fucker never quite hit the heights of the charts and their time as a functional entity was over by 2001. The band did record some songs and this album/compilation houses pretty much all their recorded output.

Ostensibly led by Bruce MacGregor, Earth Mother Fucker play a sot of noise/garage rock that certainly sounds of its time. For the modern ear, this collection of songs is jarring, to say the least and I Fuck Therefore I Am is a heady waltz of off-kilter guitars and screeching vocals. It is surely a collection of completionist types, who would be the only people willing to engage in the one hour running time.

So Far Out
Brassneck Records, It's Alive (2024)

There are few bands that hit with the mix of raw emotion and musical talent as a live City Mouse show. There are even fewer bands that can capture that live feeling on a record. It’s been a long 7 years since Get Right, but So Far Out keeps it moving as if no time has passed. Of course, the … Read more

Future Classic (2024)

Ideally, I would be a bit more interested in art. In visual art- paintings, sketches, MS Paint monstrosities- whatever. I wish I knew more about the meaning of a brush stroke or even had the desire to know more about the meaning of a brush stroke. I spend a lot of time listening to music and, subsequently, I see a … Read more
