Calling your band Earth Mother Fucker is a statement in and of itself, and having the audacity to go for such an aggressive sounding moniker should stand a project in good stead for the coming years. Should. For this wildly named band, the lights of the stage were few and far between and despite existing for just over a decade, Earth Mother Fucker never quite hit the heights of the charts and their time as a functional entity was over by 2001. The band did record some songs and this album/compilation houses pretty much all their recorded output.

Ostensibly led by Bruce MacGregor, Earth Mother Fucker play a sot of noise/garage rock that certainly sounds of its time. For the modern ear, this collection of songs is jarring, to say the least and I Fuck Therefore I Am is a heady waltz of off-kilter guitars and screeching vocals. It is surely a collection of completionist types, who would be the only people willing to engage in the one hour running time.

Amy Beth And Thee Creeps

Shitheel EP
Chaputa! Records (2026)

Sometimes I like to come into a record as a blank slate. Amy Beth And Thee Creeps sent me a short email with their latest EP, Shitheel. It's a 4-song garage-punk ripper that's easily under 10 minutes. I just checked: it's five and a half minutes. With no bio, the music speaks for itself and this is rhythmic, pulsing garage … Read more
