First Time In L.A.: Drunk Mums

ARTICLE BY JESSE MEDINA

The moniker Drunk Mums automatically places a band with such a name in a precarious position. Are we meant to take Drunk Mums seriously or is everything one big joke from this group from Melbourne, Australia? Drunk Mums early recordings from 2011-2012 are dirty, fuzzy, and one bad night out on the town from unraveling. All one has to do is look at the album cover for their self-titled debut released in 2012 to understand the band’s mindset and intentions. The whole record is littered with infectious hooks played at breakneck speed with the type of attitude that would make any retired punk from a different era proud.
