Single Mothers - Single Mothers
Review by Daniel Halili
Single Mothers' self-titled album is a raw and unapologetic punk rock masterpiece. The Canadian band's debut LP is a collection of 10 blistering tracks that showcase their unique blend of punk, hardcore, and garage rock.
The album opens with "Marbles," a relentless track that sets the tone for what's to come. Drew Thomson's gritty vocals and the band's frenzied instrumentation create a sense of urgency that never lets up. "Winter Coats" and "Half-Lit" are standout tracks that showcase the band's ability to write catchy, anthemic punk songs.
Single Mothers' lyrics are often introspective and self-deprecating, but never lose their edge. "Patricide" is a scathing critique of toxic masculinity, while "Bile" is a brutally honest examination of addiction.
The album's production is intentionally rough around the edges, giving the songs a sense of immediacy and authenticity. The band's DIY ethos is evident throughout the record, from the raw production to the unpolished vocal delivery.

The guy fucking gave him like $300 worth of merch and dedicated a song to him. The rumours of the frontman being a dick are false. He's a tray good dude.
January 1979 by Me Without You for some reason. That doesn't mean they all suck but they all sound similar and remind me of that one song :
