THE TOP TEN RECORDS OF 2011

Featured in the VIBRATOR BUZZ BLOG

“#8

MOTHER´S CHILDREN
Are You Tough Enough ?

854078434-1

TAKEN BY SURPRISE RECORDS

Oh Canaduh, you still make me shake my broken bones with a deadly dose of your highly infectious Powerpop-Glam´N´Roll combining only the best songs of the first three Powerpearls Compilation Volumes with barroom boppers like “Milk & Alcohol” or “She´s A Windup” by DR. FEELFGOOD.
Did you ever wish for those to be put on the same stage list as THE BOYS, THE STIFFS or FAST CARS ?
Then these fellow Canucks are the ones to send your record order to ! Please don´t forget putting on some EDDIE & THE HOT RODS while writing this order, it just would be the perfect match.”

Great review with a nod to the recording/mastering quality.

Mother’s Children “Are You Tough Enough?” EP

I must say I have no love for our nation’s capital. It is way too fucking cold, way too fucking far from any other decent cities, a shitty drive from Toronto & just offers nothing I need. Peterborough high school gods Candywheel sang “get me out ofOttawa” years ago and it immediately comes to mind when someone mentions the city. All that aside, I love this Mother’s Children EP. Much like the aforementioned Barreracudas, this band sees the value in delivering the short sharp blast. Are You Tough Enough hits the roller rink flying and never lets up. The recording is fantastic – bright & ballsy – perfectly capturing a young band’s boundless energy and joy. Guitars crunch, bass pumps and drums pop huge in the mix, somehow not burying the abundant vocal harmonies.  Highlights in this economical set include punk rock Byrds jangler “Messin Around”, which features my favourite non-Weiss drum fills of the year, and the relentlessly hooky, Devo-nodding “Sue Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”.

Mother’s Children Razorcake review

“MOTHER’S CHILDREN:
Are You Tough Enough?: 12” EP

A six-song follow-up to their debut record, Ottawa’s finest return with a great release. They actually remind me of the Minneapolis’s Crash Kids a bit (which is a good thing, trust me). I like “Sabre Tooth” and “What’s Your Problem” the best here. There is a reason Paul Collins brought these guys on tour with them. They simply rock, in the best tradition of 20/20 or The Plimsouls. Pick this up and you will be bopping along when you pick up your burger and strawberry milkshake at your local fast food joint. Yum.

Another HajjiHusayn master reviewed in Maximum Rock and Roll.

Mother’s Children

“Wow. This is some catchy tuneage. “Sue Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” is a classic pop-punk number that gets things started off just right. It’s up-tempo, it’s catchy, and it has lots of guitar. And things continue along exactly the same way. My only complaint, and this isn’t a real complaint, is that there are only six songs. Don’t tease me like that I want more. This is clearly a power pop band and not a pop punk band. (KK)”
