MOTHERSHIP Self-titled Debut Out Now; U.S. Tour Announced

Mothership, the self-titled debut from Dallas-based heavy rock trio  MOTHERSHIP is now available worldwide through Ripple Music.  Called "a must for any heavy rock and metal fan" by DangerDog.com,  Mothership is proving itself a threat to any release  vying for the "Best Rock Album or 2013" title.   
MOTHERSHIP masterfully delivers 70's-tinged U.S. hard rock with a  sound that satisfies like a steaming hot stew of UFO and Iron Maiden,  blended with the southern swagger of Molly Hatchet and ZZ Top, Mothership's  goal from the beginning has been to carry on the  tradition of the classic rock style; updated and amped up for the modern day.  Originally self-released in 2012, Mothership and Ripple Music have joined forces  to re-release this stunning debut record on CD (includes lyrics) and LP (packages to  include an 11" x 17"poster and download cards). Mothership is available  at www.ripple-music.com. 
A video for the song "City Nights" was recently premiered by TheSodaShop.com  and can be viewed at this location.   
MOTHERSHIP will hit the road next month with GYPSYHAWK as part of  the "March Out Of Winter" 2013 Tour. Dates are as follows:

"Such a killer find, man. Can't wait to see them live!"   - Dom Lawson (Metal Hammer / Classic Rock)
"Been listening to Mothership all day now and if feels like UFO and Orange Goblin got drunk with St. Vitus, smoked some weed with Blue  Cheer and spewed out the tuffest blues-drenched, no frills love child I've  heard all month. Some ridiculously badass guitars. And heavy  above all else!" --  Sword of Doom
"Try to resist a band that plays blues-laden metal with heavy guitar riffs   that is also hoping for intergalactic travel. Mothership is a three piece from Dallas  that alternates between an almost AC/DC-like sound on a track like 'City Nights'  and a broader, heavier and more epic sound on tracks like 'Cosmic Rain,'  'Angel of Death' and the opener,  'Hallucination.'    -- Vue Weekly.com  

Mothership Bio
Rock n' Roll history is rife with brothers working together to create their artistic vision. But rarely  do we hear about a full-fledged family unit embarking down the treacherous path of a musical  career. In the case of Texas based Mothership, the Brother Juett (Kyle on bass, younger brother   Kelley on guitar) enlisted the aid of their father, John Juett, to help get the 'ship off the ground.  Raised on a healthy dose of their father's 70's-era record collection, the brothers began crafting  songs fueled on the raucous and raw good time vibe when music seemed to know no bounds.  Lifting off the pad for the first time in 2010, the band began to gain momentum and notoriety with  their unabashed live shows. Knowing that the service of the family patriarch was temporary, Father  Juett actively helped his boys find his replacement, and in late 2011, enter the mighty Judge Smith  to hammer away on the skins. In early 2012, Mothership entered Crystal Clear Studios with Wo Fat mastermind Kent Stump manning the boards and by mid-year, the band self-released their  debut album. It was the combination of the 70's-era heavy rock fuzz and fury mixed with the  blistering guitar solos of the NWOBHM-era that drew the bands attention to California-based  Heavy Rock label, Ripple Music. In the waning months of 2012, after a successful year of traveling regionally throughout Texas and opening for national acts such as Prong, Red Fang, Gypsyhawk,  Earthen Grave, and Lo-Pan, Mothership officially dubbed Ripple Music as its Home Port and  began plotting a course for their first U.S. Tour in early 2013.
