  • ± The Mother Beef

    Tom Tetley's new project "the mother beef" steps out with 7 league boots from it's hiding place in the Hindu Kush mountains into the traditionally spaced out environs of the South West of England to deliver a sound wrapped up in suicide riffs, Blues traditionalism, and Sunday morning lyrics, delivered by someone you can tell is still living in that Sunday morning moment. 

           Produced by the internationally renowned production team "The Insects", The mother beef comes with an assured debut whose music echoes the best of raw rock and roll (MC5, Stooges, The Verve at it's most psychedelic, The Velvets) and with songs that sound like a menacing city whisper on a stoned preachers lips...

         With a set of influences belying his years, Tetley has crafted something his own, the sound of young, love blasted England, coming down, walking home.....

    This is the music I have been waiting to find for a very long time. I'm always being told my music would suit soundtracks and such- here we have very expressive music that stands alone and is clearly visually influenced. I completely relate! Great sound! Thanks for the inspiration...
