  07 FEBRUARY 2016 (Toronto, ON) – Canadian rockers Mother Mother have soared to #1 at Canadian Alternative Rock Radio for the first time with their hit song “The Drugs.”  The track is off of their upcoming new record NO CULTURE which will be released via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company, on February 10, 2017. The band will hit the road on a cross-country tour starting February 23rd, with stops at Toronto’s historic Massey Hall, and a record-setting five shows at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom. “The Drugs” is a driving single which addresses a lover in vice-like terminology. Recorded in Vancouver and produced by Brian Howes, Jason “JVP” Van Poederooyen and lead-man Ryan Guldemond - it grabs listeners immediately with its pounding rhythms and haunting melodies – an innovative twist on the band’s signature sound.  Coupled with lyrics that cut straight to the point;  “Cuz you’re hotter than the sun/ And you’re better than the drugs I used to love” the song communicates the complex and manic nature of love.  “It comes off as an address to a lover, deeming her the ultimate high and antidepressant,” states frontman Ryan Guldemond. “but the metaphors are interchangeable.  The girl represents higher truth, and the drugs, well, they could be just about anything that stands in between a person and their authentic self.” About Mother Mother: The Juno and MMVA nominated Vancouver-based band, comprised of Ryan Guldemond, Molly Guldemond, Jasmin Parkin, Mike Young, and Ali Siadat, earned critical acclaim with their first two outings Touch Up (2007) and O My Heart (2008). Their next two releases Eureka (2011) and The Sticks (2012) delivered the top 5 radio hits “The Stand”, “Bit By Bit” and “Let’s Fall In Love”, making the band the second most aired alternative act in Canada in 2012 and 2013. In 2014 they racked up more hits with “Get Out The Way”, “Monkey Tree” and “Modern Love” from their much-lauded record Very Good Bad Thing. Since then, they’ve garnered over 32 million streams on Spotify and over 12 million views on Youtube/Vevo properties.
