Loathe Unleash New Song “Dimorphous Display”: Stream
Loathe have unleashed the new one-off single “Dimorphous Display,” their first non-instrumental track since 2020’s I Let It In and It Took Everything. “Dimorphous Display” is a bit of a departure for Loathe, who embrace a ’90s alternative aesthetic over the metallic leanings of their 2020 album. The saturated production and ambitious arrangement paint the band in a new light without compromising the dynamic songwriting. According to a press release, the UK experimental metal group worked with Eddie Al-Shakarchi at Giant Wafer Studios on “capturing the rawest incarnation of the Loathe sound to date.” The final version expands on a demo that was recorded after the sessions for I Let It In and It Took Everything.

Bad Mothers’ ‘Dirty Rock’ Dreams
Musicians often bristle at being compared to other bands, but not Bad Mothers. “I think the Queens of the Stone Age reference makes all of us pretty happy,” singer/guitarist Matt Dalton says about recent write-ups on Bad Mothers’ liberating but masterful brand of dirty rock ‘n’ roll. “We’re pretty big Queens fans, but honestly, [the band’s sound] really is an amalgamation of a huge swath of influences.” He looks to drummer Brian Chiappinelli, perched next to him on the sofa. “Like Brian is heavily into hip hop.
