With their self-titled debut, 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 and LP. Mothership is available at www.ripple-music.com.
"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.
