The wait is finally over: our debut album 'Erosion / Avulsion' will be released on November 29th via
@churchroadrecs
Pre-orders are live now on the CRR website.
Listen to lead single 'Defanged' now on your streaming platform of choice.
The absolute audacity it takes to call your album "The Shape Of Punk To Come" is staggering, but then to be RIGHT!? Mental. Still sounds like it's from the future now even though it came out in 1998.
I totally get why everyone is losing it over that nostalgia fest in Vegas, but I wish you'd see that level of hype for the wealth of talent we have at home. Below is just a small sample of the innovative, forward thinking bands currently active in the UK. We are truly blessed.
Whether you agree with this article or not, you should be glad that a big publication like Metal Hammer was willing to publish it. The music press can sometimes feel like it's just an extension of PR firms, and this is a reminder that it can be more than just client journalism.
We are thrilled to announce that we have signed to

. Thanks so much to Ian Dickinson (his friends call him Lan) for believing in this band. Tours with Slipknot and Nickelback to follow.
We are beyond delighted to welcome

to the Church Road family ❤️
Over the past few years Hidden Mothers have created an undeniable presence within the U.K. scene. We can’t wait to work alongside them to bring you their best material yet!

We are over the moon to announce that we will be playing
@ATGFestival
in 2023! When we started this band, ATG was one of our biggest goals. It seemed unreachable, but here we are, playing with some of our biggest influences and also a fair few friends.
Get your ticket now!
What's the UK equivalent of WHAT THE FUCK IS UP DENNYS!?
Can we do a show in a Little Chef? Wimpy? Harvester? One of those weird American diners on the A1?
This might be mad, but I feel like if you've paid good money to see a band, who against all odds in the middle of a pandemic have made it from Norway to Leeds to play for you, you should probably shut the fuck up while they're playing. Especially in the quiet bits.
On August 6th, we will release our first new music in 4 years. Click the link in our bio to pre-save, and share this with everyone you know. HM Chapter 2 officially starts now.
@churchroadrecs
ATG, you were pure magic.
Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen, particularly the 1000+ people who came to see us on Friday morning, we were absolutely floored by your support.
Really cool seeing our music in stuff like this. If you've decided to make your gaming experience a bit bleaker with our songs then make sure you let us know!
It doesn't feel real to finally have this in our possession. Four years of hard work, disagreements, big decisions, and pure creative joy have brought us to this point. Can't wait for people to hear it, hope you love it like we do x
@hiddenmothersbm
Hi there, our restaurants arrange their own entertainment and this varies from one business to another so we would advise you to contact the pub direct to enquire about this. 😄 thanks CB.
Here's a nice thing to brighten up your Monday morning: our guitarist Ari and his partner welcomed their second child into the world yesterday. Send them some love!
Unfortunately due to the fact that we were not booked to play at Download Festival this weekend, we will not be playing at Download Festival this weekend.
No-one is more disappointed than us about this terrible turn of events. We hope you still manage to enjoy the festival.
Bands: if you get the chance to play The Parish in Huddersfield, take it. Amazing venue run by excellent people. Fantastic beer selection, incredible food, perfect vibes. Just ticks absolutely every box. 10/10.
LEEDS!!!
We are beyond thrilled to be supporting the mighty Svalbard at The Key Club next month alongside our dear friends in Zetra and the excellent Without Love. Tickets available now.
@everytimeidie
The album is incredible, guys. Your band brought my partner and I together, we travelled from the UK to Buffalo for Shitmas 2018 where we said I love you for the first time, so it feels right that Radical drops on our three year anniversary. Thank you for all of it x
It is truly mental to be able to share this poster that features our name alongside several of our biggest direct influences. What a time to be alive. Thank you
@ATGFestival
for this immense opportunity.
Day 4 of Independent Venue Week, let's talk about The Black Heart in Camden. There aren't many venues where you step in and immediately feel at home, but this is one of them. We played a killer show there last year and will definitely be back at some point this year.
We are so close to releasing some new music I can smell and taste it. So grateful to everyone who still engages with us despite the fact we've put out exactly Fuck All since 2020. That all changes very very soon.
More bands added to ATG including our friends in A-Tota-So, Copse, Dawn Ray'd, Din of Celestial Birds and Wallowing. What an absolutely smashing weekend this is going to be.
We generated a load of free bandcamp codes a while back and then totally forgot to share them. Anyway, here, have at it.
FFO Alcest, Amenra, Converge, Thrice, Oathbreaker, Envy, Holy Fawn, Deafheaven.
Likes and RTs are appreciated. We are a no-name band after all 😅
So Gojira at the Paris Olympics. Why!? Don’t they know the standard formula of getting some old washed out has been to sing a washed out hit!?
Well done Paris on trying something sonically & visually very different. l!👏👏
The winner was metal!
Took my son to see
@Foxing
tonight and he had, in his words, the best experience of his life. Music really is the absolute best thing in the world, but it's even better when you get to share it with the ones you love.
Thanks to everyone who picked up some merch yesterday; you paid for a full day of recording with enough left over for us to get some pizza while we're there. Small bands run on the support of the fans and we are grateful for each and every penny you send our way.
NEWS: We're booked in with
@joenostudio
in April to start recording our debut album. We're super happy with these new songs and can't wait for you to hear them.
In the meantime, if you want to help us fund said album, picking up a tee would help a lot. Merch link in bio.
Our pals in
@callousdaoboys
smashed it at
@boomleedsvenue
tonight. Both support bands (Sobriquet and Love Rarely) were also fantastic. Live music is the best.
We're going into the studio tomorrow to put the finishing touches on our debut album. Thank you to everyone who has continued to support this band despite our slow progress since our debut EP way back in 2020. We promise the next gap between releases will be considerably shorter.
Hey we're only a small band and I doubt our voice holds that much weight but I just want to say that we will always support the oppressed, and never the oppressor. Homophobes, transphobes, racists and bigots of any kind are not welcome at our shows or in our lives.
The first time I saw
@ConjurerUK
it was at Boom in Leeds, they were supporting a German band called The Moth alongside my old band. It was 2016 and there were maybe 20 people there. So very cool to see them pack out a huge room yesterday at
@damnationfest
and absolutely smash it.
On Tuesday, we will release 'Defanged', our first new single since 2020. The song looks at the misdirection of anger and blame towards the most vulnerable in society for problems caused by a very privileged few. Feels very pertinent today. Stay safe and look after each other x

We are Hidden Mothers. If you dig bands like Alcest / Amenra / Converge / Thrice / Holy Fawn / Deafheaven / Oathbreaker / Envy then you will probably dig us too.

Hopes for

next year:
Poison The Well
Shai Hulud
Modern Life Is War
The Suicide File
American Nightmare
Yes I am in my mid-late 30s, why do you ask?
Thank you to everyone who has listened to 'Defanged' so far, and additional thanks for all the shares from our friends/fans and also a few of our favourite publications. We were nervous about putting new music out after so long, but clearly we didn't need to be. Much love x
But late to the party on this one but that most recent White Ward album is absolutely stunning. Also I did a quick check to make sure they're not sketchy (because black metal), and saw they'd posted this not long ago. Lovely stuff.
We are currently sitting at
#1
in the
@Bandcamp
charts for post-hardcore, screamo, blackgaze, and post-metal, and also
#3
for post-rock. This is wild, thanks so much for all your support so far!
We are beyond stoked to announce that we will be going on tour with our dear friends in
@Copsebm
in February 2024! We have never played 3/4 of these places before, so we're looking forward to melting some fresh faces.

As a festive gift to you all, here are some
@bandcamp
codes for a free copy of our latest EP. All we ask in return for it is that you RT this so that more folk can hear about us.
Hidden Mothers: FFO Alcest, Amenra, Converge, Thrice, Deafheaven, Holy Fawn, Oathbreaker.
Enjoy!
I know it will be very easy to get swept up in new Deftones excitement on Friday, but don't forget that
@OceanCollective
and
@Svalbardband
both have incredible records out the same day, they're both extremely worthy of your time.
