Mothership,
the self-titled debut from Dallas-based heavy rock trio
MOTHERSHIP is
now available worldwide through Ripple Music.
Called "a must for any
heavy rock and metal fan" by DangerDog.com,
Mothership is proving itself
a threat to any release
vying for the "Best Rock Album or 2013" title.
MOTHERSHIP
masterfully delivers 70's-tinged U.S. hard rock with a
sound that
satisfies like a steaming hot stew of UFO and Iron Maiden,
blended with
the southern swagger of Molly Hatchet and ZZ Top, Mothership's
goal
from the beginning has been to carry on the
tradition of the classic
rock style; updated and amped up for the modern day.
Originally self-released in 2012, Mothership and Ripple Music have joined forces
to
re-release this stunning debut record on CD (includes lyrics) and LP
(packages to
include an 11" x 17"poster and download cards). Mothership
is available
A video for the song "City Nights" was recently premiered by TheSodaShop.com
and can be viewed at this location.
MOTHERSHIP will hit the road next month with GYPSYHAWK as part of

"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.'

Rock
n' Roll history is rife with brothers working together to create their
artistic vision. But rarely
do we hear about a full-fledged family unit
embarking down the treacherous path of a musical
career. In the case of
Texas based Mothership, the Brother Juett (Kyle on bass, younger brother
Kelley on guitar) enlisted the aid of their father, John Juett, to help
get the 'ship off the ground.
Raised on a healthy dose of their
father's 70's-era record collection, the brothers began crafting
songs
fueled on the raucous and raw good time vibe when music seemed to know
no bounds.
Lifting off the pad for the first time in 2010, the band
began to gain momentum and notoriety with
their unabashed live shows.
Knowing that the service of the family patriarch was temporary, Father
Juett actively helped his boys find his replacement, and in late 2011,
enter the mighty Judge Smith
to hammer away on the skins. In early 2012,
Mothership entered Crystal Clear Studios with
Wo Fat mastermind Kent
Stump manning the boards and by mid-year, the band self-released their
debut album. It was the combination of the 70's-era heavy rock fuzz and
fury mixed with the
blistering guitar solos of the NWOBHM-era that drew
the bands attention to California-based
Heavy Rock label, Ripple Music.
In the waning months of 2012, after a successful year of traveling
regionally throughout Texas and opening for national acts such as Prong,
Red Fang, Gypsyhawk,
Earthen Grave, and Lo-Pan, Mothership officially
dubbed Ripple Music as its Home Port and
began plotting a course for
their first U.S. Tour in early 2013.
