Single Mothers is a (post-)hardcore punk band with alternative tendencies from London, Ontario, Canada formed in 2008, currently on Dine Alone Records as of 2023, but had previously been on Big Scary Monsters and Secret Voice (Jeremy Bolm's label, an imprint of Deathwish Inc).They are about to release their 5th studio album, 'Roy' at the end of April, a pretty good number for a band as spontaneous and/or unpredictable as them.
They have been through about 20 members (which includes touring members) through these 15 years. Vocalist Andrew Thomson is the only member who's been on every release, even with the hiatus he took from the band. It should be noted that Single Mothers has had members of fellow Ontario punk/alternative rock band The Dirty Nil (Dave Nardi and Ross Miller, both as bassists). Single Mothers has toured with Drug Church, A Wilhelm Scream, Title Fight and Quicksand, and appeared at Winnipeg's 2019 SOS Fest at the Park Theatre alongside other headliners Sharptooth, Good Riddance and Cancer Bats. Sonically, this band sounds like a mixture of other notable hardcore guys, between Fiddlehead, Drug Church, Title Fight, Ceremony, DANGERS and Touché Amoré. Vocally, Andrew Thomson takes some influence from bands such as The Replacements, The Hold Steady and Bear vs. Shark.
Single Mothers currently has 2 singles out, so scour those out via the links below. They are called 'Head Shrunk' and 'Sad Dumb Game'. Enjoy those and listen to the album when it comes out via Dine Alone, on April 28th.
