MOTHERSHIP is about to make a return the road for a brief run

“Such a killer find, man. Can’t wait to see them live!”
– Dom Lawson (Metal Hammer / Classic Rock)
“Been listening to Mothership all day now and if feels like UFO and
Orange Goblin got drunk with St. Vitus, smoked some weed with Blue Cheer
and spewed out the tuffest blues-drenched, no frills love child I’ve heard all
month. Some ridiculously badass guitars. And heavy above all else!”
— Sword of Doom
“Try to resist a band that plays blues-laden metal with heavy guitar riffs
that is also hoping for intergalactic travel. Mothership is a three piece
from Dallas that alternates between an almost AC/DC-like sound on a
track like ‘City Nights’ and a broader, heavier and more epic sound on
tracks like ‘Cosmic Rain,’ ‘Angel of Death’ and the opener, ‘Hallucination.‘
