Single Mothers are dangerously explosive live and exuded a palpable tension that clearly bleeds into the music. Creating feral punk with rock ‘n’ roll sensibilities, Single Mothers exude serious songwriting chops as evidenced by their penchant for melody, hooks and dynamics. Also noticeable is Thomson’s distinctive howl and clear enunciation of literary lyrics that are vignettes of small town ennui and misguided bravado.
