If you feel like you haven’t been turned inside out by a song since 1990’s "Facelift" by Alice in Chains, or 1995 when Garbage released their self-titled album, the long wait is over.
On their latest single "Bloom," Sludge Mother combines powerhouse vocals with a deliciously strong guitar lead. They’re on a mission to revive the all-encompassing angst of ’90s grunge—and honestly? They’re nailing it.
The song is both nostalgic and fresh. Vocalist Cami Petyn displays a mind-blowing vocal range that’ll give you chills.
Petyn plays to the more melodic side of her repertoire as she belts: "they dried all the rivers, so how can anything bloom?" It’s haunting, really.
In its timeless energy and production, this song fits seamlessly into any mix of heavier rock songs. Just perfect for that late-night drive playlist.

The music video? Total callback to the band’s grungy influence. Sepia-toned and simple, the artistic concept is synonymous with the delivery.
For a group like Sludge Mother, who know how to perform, it’s even more effective than a high-budget narrative video. And for a young band with such a clear perspective, the potential feels limitless.
With a steady stream of releases and plenty of upcoming live shows, Sludge Mother is definitely a band to watch. Mark my words.
