Metal Blade have announced the signing of the self-described ‘pop cock rock’ NYC band Mother Feather. Their debut for the label will combine remastered versions of songs form their previous EP’s, “Mother Feather” and “Living Breathing“, as well as two new songs. Vocalist Ann Courtney commented of the signing:
“Where is the magic? Where are the women who rock? Where is the danger? Where’s the cool pop music? Where’s the music that’s not speaking down to its audience? Any time I see any kind of performance I want to have a catharsis, and that’s what I’m hoping will happen when I step out on stage. That’s why I started the band, to save me, and the fact that it’s had this ripple effect and can do the same for other people is just gravy.”
She further added:
“[Metal Blade‘s] Brian Slagel is such a no bullshit guy. He came to us, said I love what you’re doing, I’m a fan – how can I help? It’s really been such an amazing thing for us to be a part of – and I’m absolutely delighted to think of all the black metal fans in Scandinavia who will think that Brian has lost his mind when they hear a song like ‘Beach House‘ or ‘Trampoline.’ I’m looking forward to claiming those souls,” she laughs gleefully. ‘Hail Satan!'”
