MOTHER MARS IS A FOUR-PIECE FROM SYDNEY. HARD, FAST, HEAVY, AND HONEST. WE PLAY MUSIC WE LOVE AND WILL NOT BE A PART OF THE MODERN TREND. WE ARE CONSTANTLY EXPLORING OUR GENRE. SPACE IS THE FINAL FRONTIER.
Stoner rock four-piece Mother Mars have spent the last few years pumping out their big loud energetic live sound all over Sydney. After releasing their EP 'Take The Ride' in 2007 the band is now ready to launch their album 'Primitives'. While most of the songs on Primitives showcase the uncompromising and driving sound Mother Mars have become known for, some of the songs see the band just as easily venture off into an ethereal soundscape of crazy noise experimentation. There's plenty of heavy stoner grooves, fuzzed-out guitars and psychedelic jams.
Leaning more towards the heavy groove side of things, they have been able to develop a unique sound that is at times reminiscent of such stoner rock outfits as Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age.
Laying the foundations for an ambitious sound scape are the pulsating basslines of Tim, backed by a thunderous beat anchored by drummer Frank. The bands songs consist mainly of intricate riff rock, driven by the warm and frenzied guitar tone of Paul and the explosive vocals of frontman Adrian. Mother Mars have a distinct groove and feel to their music which sets them apart from other local outfits and already has them being praised by critics as "a band to keep an eye on".
