Mothership

Three bands share the name Mothership: one in the UK , one in the US. and a new one in Portugal. For the early 90’s metallic hardcore crossover Erie band, see Mother Ship.

(1) Mothership (UK)
The Mothership began its tempestuous journey at low tide on the murky back waters of The Steel City. Cultivating a penchant for the dark, dirty and electronic, as well as a nefarious sense of rhythm and funky guitar-based melodies, the band forge together to produce a melting hot cauldron of sound as diverse as it is audibly pleasing. And they're partial to a nice cup of tea as well!

Driftrun

Driftrun comprise of four lads in their 20’s from Sheffield. Tony, Rich and Gilly all went to the same school and Tony met Chris at work in the ‘spilt factory’. After 3 years of crafting their sound, Driftrun are one of the most prominent names around on the Sheffield scene now. Never in their history have Driftrun been so confident that their music is heading in the right direction for them. The band somehow have found a way to fuse their passion for quality production, melody and rhythm, and in doing so have broken the mold of a typical local guitar based band.
