Our Principles

  • Music should heal and unite

    We ourselves have produced a lot of hardcore, angry music along the way, but we won’t be making it at Mothership. There’s enough polarization and me-against-you messaging in the world already; we’re resolved not to add to it further. We seek to make music that celebrates our shared humanity and brings us closer together.

  • Compassion and justice for all

    We will not support music that belittles individuals or groups, celebrates violence, fetishizes materialism, or promotes hate. Our music can and should pack a punch, steer clear of saccharine stupidity, and delve into hard topics.

  • Originality.

    We want all of the artists we work with to ask themselves: Are you channeling the purest version of yourself and uncovering something new, or are you rehashing what others have already done because it gets likes on Instagram? If you want to explore the first of those, come to Mothership.

  • Community.

    We are all here to teach and learn. We hope to bring value to your life the moment you walk through the doors. We hope that your positive energy will reverberate back into the studio and the other people you encounter while you’re with us. If you’re rude or closed-minded, we’ll politely ask you to leave and won’t invite you back.

  • Radical Self Expression

    We want to help you discover and express yourself fully, without fear of being judged or canceled.

  • No Weapons.

    No one should have to be worried about their well-being while creating art.

  • Self Care.

    Maintaining a healthy relationship with your art can be hard. We discourage overworking, and we actively seek to avoid the burnout that accompanies this lifestyle.

  • Protecting our Earth.

    All people involved with the studio will be expected to minimize waste and energy consumption.
