Lyrics:
Flip through the paper
Ticking through the number one
Feel like a stranger
I wanna make a hit and run

Still need a drummer
The last one quit the band
His favorite song was Hummer
Soundtrack in the minivan

It takes a lot to admit it
Hey you’re a hot shot and they know who you are
It takes a lot to admit it
Yeah i got what they want, I’m a real rock star

Stuck on the freeway
Gotta make it so the rent gets paid
I know this club called Tuesday’s
I could get us backstage

The barback is our singer
The last one quit the band
A real heavy drinker
He karaokes Rocket Man

It's easy to sound like an era; it's really, really hard to sound like you're actually *from* it. You've nailed it.

[samanderson]

This has a very Veruca Salt inspired sound. Good to see young kids embracing the post grunge alternative sound of the 90's. It's refreshing.

[DJ-IronMike]

The production and sound of these last two singles are stellar. This is going to be the album where Momma blows the f**k up!

[jheibel]

Any band that name drops "Hummer" from the Smashing Pumpkins is cool in my book. Love their sound!

[osufan]

You have no idea how amazing it is to hear the Veruca Salt influence here.

[maximiliaandelathouwer]

Takes me straight back to the indie 90's, updated and wih an extra 2022 touch. This band is great

[rbrault]

As a nearly 45 year old guy who was in high school when Grunge was breaking out, this band absolutely NAILED it with their modern take on it. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Veruca Salt, Breeders, Sonic Youth, Pixies...ya'll coulda toured with them. Nobody else I've heard in the last 20+ years has come close to capturing the sound and the feeling like Momma has.

[GoldenKennyBania]

They are such a breath of fresh air. If they don’t become wildly successful I’ve lost all faith in humanity.

[rickparker]

The refreshing 'crunch' of that '90s sound! Im a 54 yr old guy who used to bounce at a bar that had the 'new' grunge sound back then. You bring me back.
You kids are great! Im yer newest fan.

[wearevotingyes]

I don't know how you're the only band who has figured out how to get this guitar sound in the past 25 years, but I am HERE FOR IT.

[munichamprentals]

Heard them first on the radio a few weeks ago driving through Nevada.... Imagine that sound with the desert landscape.... unbeatable ... Hope you´re doin a promo tour to Europe

[crematetheworld]

I caught the end of this scanning the radio last night waiting to pick up my 14 year old daughter, I turned 14 in 1990, and this was like a time warp for me. I love this, the kid loves it. Today I'm showing our support by buying the music and some gear. This is real deal music right here. Not over produced, over promoted industry junk. So glad I found this.

[_walruseater]

hey my fav pumpkins song is hummer, too

[uncledarren]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I came here on the recommendation of Louise Post from Veruca Salt herself and am NOT You are WONDERFUL!!!! I AM A FAN!!!!

[joeyp]

Love the retro vibes, the rockmaraderie, and of course the grunge-inspired, lo-fi sound. Reminds me of the Breeders; someone else said Veruca Salt. Channeling the 90s is all that matters. Anyway, how does this only have 87k views?

[ghssama]

This is so good. Please fuuuckin let this be the start of a resurgence of rock music.

[onthevergechristianrockradio]

I started listening to alternative rock in the early 1980s on 89X in Detroit. Absolutely love '80s and 90s alternative rock. Love the sound of these guys; excuse me - gals!!

[chupacabrajr]

somehow very 90's.. brings joy to my crusty old heart <3

[producedbyph]

This is Momma calling their shot like Babe Ruth. This band is gonna be big, I’m investing now.

[lee]

Go forth and rock youngster band, I am 100% on the ride. Killer tones, killer attitude. Hope to see you at my local in August
