Mothership – “High Strangeness”
Sit back, relax and grab your favorite beverage becuase it’s time for this week’s RECORD OF THE WEEK blog!
Supersonic intergalactic heavy rock trio MOTHERSHIP based out of Dallas, Texas give a real sense of hope that all is well in the universe, and that pure honest rock and roll has once again returned to this planet on a mission to unite true believers. Consisting of brothers Kyle Juett on bass/lead vocals, Kelley Juett on guitar/vocals, and Judge Smith on drums, these guys have created a unique sound that satisfies like a steaming hot stew of UFO and Iron Maiden, blended with the southern swagger of Molly Hatchet and ZZ Top, paired with a deadly chalice of Black Sabbath. Do not miss your chance to hop on board and trip on the ship over at RIPPLE MUSIC!

Atlanta born, Montana raised, HANA has spent years on the road in North America, perfecting her craft as a songwriter and performer, traveling state to state, year-round. In 2013, she decided to take a break and re-assess her life on the road, prompting her to sell the van, live off of that money and move into an old warehouse in downtown LA. It was there that she locked herself away and spent the next year learning how to record and produce music by herself. It was during this period that she was able to fully execute her vision musically, thus creating these stunning new tracks that have since gotten everyone intrigued and talking about HANA…
