Single Mothers

"Combining scab-peeling punk with speak-shout vocals reminiscent of the Hold Steady, this band of townies from London, Ontario, ruthlessly skewers hypocrites, McSweeney's snobs, drunk assholes, and God, just to name a few." —Pitchfork

"The start-stop dynamics and serrated vocal hooks of London, Ontario's Single Mothers instantly remind one of the early 2000s, when At the Drive-In, the Blood Brothers, and other sorely missed bands combined math-rock, emo and hardcore into something so scarily close to pop, they couldn't help but implode." —Pitchfork

"It’s a lesson in the power of punk, as the 52-second ‘Womb’ emphasizes: 'Rock’n’roll is a sacrifice/So I let you take my body and I threw away my life'." —NME

"Known for their explosive live show, unrelenting punk rock appeal and a palpable tension that seems to bleed into their music, this is a band with some serious brawn behind them" —Noisey/Vice

"Single Mothers is one of those bands you just have to see to believe. " —Exclaim
