SINGLE MOTHERS - Through A Wall LP (Colour Vinyl)

In 2018, Southern Ontario post-hardcore heavyweights Single Mothers returned with a surprise release of their ferocious new album, Through A Wall, on Dine Alone Records & Big Scary Monsters. It went on to rave reviews and eventually nominated for Metal/Hard Album of the Year at the 2020 Juno Awards.

"On ‘Through A Wall’ I tried to blend my sense of dark humour with the reality of what I see when I look around me," says frontman Drew Thomson. "In a way it made the songs sad and funny and hopefully interesting - but not super ‘jokey’. While so much dark shit is happening every day and in this era, I understand the influx of positivity in music and how that is important. Whenever I try to write a positive song though, it almost always sounds fake and contrived. Sometimes you gotta face what’s happening and just laugh at it, or at least roll your eyes until it’s over. That’s about as close to ‘positive’ as I get.”
