Today's song is "Big Mother" by Feeding People. This song is from their Island Universe out now. Feeding People was founded and is headed by nineteen-year-old Jessie Jones, who channels the raw power of Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick and Janis Joplin at her most primal as she leads with strong, almost vicious vocals, bellowing blasphemies as if possessed by spirits with a masked sweetness reminiscent of Billie Holiday. Her siren call reeled in Chris Alfaro of Free the Robots who produced some of the band's earliest recordings, all of which were written acoustic and recorded electric in a [...]
Feeding People introduce their "Big Mother". It's nice when you have a "Big Mother", who has an ass that you can use as a punching bag. Or at least that's what I gather...

Dick Thompson returns as director for Feeding People 's "Big Mother" music video, and it packs in as much of a punch as the song does, with a pint-sized milk-drinking boy who is gearing up for his big day as a pro-boxer. His mother, on the other hand, seems content with baking cookies, smoking cigarettes and reading romance novels, and she isn't afraid to give her little tyke some cushion. Feeding People's Jonny Bell- and Hanni El Khatib-produced sophomore effort is out now via Innovative Leisure. ||| Stream: " Big Mother" and watch their clip [...]
The newest single off their full length release, 'Island Universe,' out on Innovative Leisure, "Big Mother" packs a serious punch. An in your face garage-y psych rock tune that's punk rock short, and full of those sexy, Grace Slick style vocals from frontwoman, Jessie Jones that make you swoon and sweat. The video is cheeky and fun. It's the best kind of tease, sure to send you straight to your e-retailer of choice to buy the whole album. Feeding People will join The Black Lips, Nick Waterhouse, and many more at Burgerama Day 1 on March 22 at [...]
Gritty, grungy rock band with female singer? Isn't this where we just mention Babes In Toyland, Hole and L7 and then call it a day? In some cases yes, either that or go for some riot grrrl references. But not when it comes to Feeding People it's not. You can hear grunge in some songs ('Other Side' for example) but these guys are aiming for a different musical land; the one where blues, rock and psychedelia live happily together. The most obvious indication of this comes in the opening bars of first song 'Silent Violent' in which vocalist [...]
Go ask Alice. Cooper. Innovative Leisure , 2013 6.5/ 10.0 Oh, those kids these days. While it’s not necessarily a given, there is definitely a lot that can go wrong when young folks, like the teens in Feeding People go all out with ‘big rawk’ ideas. [...]
A repetitive set of boring garage rock-inspired tracks, leaving much to be desired. Few albums deserve the categorization "boring" like Feeding People's unfortunate Island Universe. Within the context of Japandroids, Metz and 12 months of quality releases from the broad and increasingly burgeoning garage and noise rock genres, Feeding People's full-length debut album tires. Not only is it an exercise in mimicry, juxtaposed with quiet moments of dull and acoustic droning, but each strum of a distorted and haphazardly-tuned guitar sounds lazy. The drums display a linear dependence...
A handy recap of the best songs featured in the past seven days of our New Music Section. Featuring glorious cuts from Wolf Alice, Coves, Enjoyed and more. Consider your Sunday listening sorted. Coves – Last Desire Bands who tussle with chiming fuzz smothered guitars and clattering percussion often find themselves victims of the much-maligned “slacker” tag but we can’t help feeling that anyone who tries to pin that badge on Rebekah Wood and John Rigard risks taking a weighty pop hook to the chin for their troubles.

OC fuzz-rockers Feeding People are set to release their 2nd album Island Universe next week (on Innovative Leisure), but now we have a taste of their newly-condensed single “Big Mother”. The heart-pounding minute and a half, featuring a ferocious delivery from frontwoman Jessie Jones, and an all-out guitar assault backing her up. It all makes for a hair-raising unforgettable experience. I just hope the song is actually about beloved 90’s arcade game Big Bertha .

Orange County upstarts Feeding People will release their second full length album, Island Universe, next week and the band have kindly offered a sneak preview of what we can expect in the form of ‘Big Mother’. The track featured on their eponymous debut before being exposed to a wider audience through the impeccable musical taste of whiny ghost girl - sorry to ruin the twist - Violet Harmon in FX drama American Horror Story . The original three minutes of rough and ready fuzz rock has been condensed down [...]
The youngsters are at it again. Jessie Jones, just 19, is at the helm of those raucous sounds coming from Orange County-bred five-piece Feeding People . Jones, guitarist-songwriter Louis Filliger, drummer Wyatt Blair, bassist Andrew Minter and keyboardist Tomas Dolas have been making kaleidoscopic noises around town for a while, and that noise has earned them a signing with Innovative Leisure. Swinging between bohemian sweetness of the title track to chaotic psychedelic rock of “Big Mother,” Feeding People’s forthcoming album “Island Universe,” produced by Hanni El Khatib and Crystal Antlers' Johnny Bell, just might make Jones the most famous [...]

Feeding People - Island Universe With its escapist lines and simple, singalong feel, there's something very childlike about Island Universe , the languorous title track from an album due in February on Innovative Leisure . The group, pictured above, is led by 19-year-old Jessie Jones, who seems to share not just initials with Janis Joplin, but also a similarly-characterful vocal delivery. Emily Wells - Becomes The Color SOIWT's absolute favourite solo female artist, Emily Wells returns with a more electronic song than is her norm, if [...]
In the midst of this almost-arctic weather, we're all scrambling to keep warm and cozy in our humble abodes. I'm sure this includes hot meals and lots of blankets, but what about some nice music to warm up to? There's nothing like some good tunes to bring some warmth into an otherwise frigidly freezing day. Thus, I present to you this snow day playlist of energetic songs that aim to thaw out those cold toes of yours and get you moving to the beat! [...]
This week had us chanting and begging to no one there; entertain us, please. Instead we were bored to tears over the hype surrounding Beyoncé lip-syncing the "Star Spangled Banner" at Obama's second inauguration, Fred Armisen's "In a Minute" bit on the Rachel Ray Show where Ray Ray name-checked mod-father Paul Weller to Fred omg-ing over Zach Hill's drumming prowess in Hella / Death Grips, to carry on luggage tips and insights. And you can add Pinnacl...
There's a swelling of praise coming towards Feeding People , and we're happy to be on board with all the noise. They're newest single has them showing off a heavy-handed side, bringing their brand of pysch rock to the masses in a short span of time. It hits hard and fast, then it fades into the background, like only a good song should do. If I've piqued your interest with this tune, then be ready to get your hands on Island Universe , which will be available to everyone on [...]
