Egomaniac - Demo

So sick of how it feels
It’s all been said before
Going back and forth each day
Someone said it first
Try so hard to do things right
Said I did it wrong
Do they think I get it
Am I who I think
Aren’t you just some poor egomaniac
Needing all of this for you?
When has it not always been this way
So why ya talking now?
Egomaniac
Try so hard to be this guy
But it’s wrong or it’s not me
Which one do they all see
It’s all been said before
Leave the ground and go too far
Did I leave the ground at all?
Nothing’s wrong its all like this
Am I doing this to me?
Aren’t you just some poor egomaniac
Needing all of this for you?
Tear your throat on some songs about yourself
So why ya talking now?
Egomaniac
I can’t do anything new
It’s all been done before
I can’t have the gift of pain
It’s all been done before
I can’t be sure what I’ve felt
It’s all been done before
I can’t do anything new
It’s all been done before
I can’t know what’s real or not
It’s all been done before
I can’t do anything new
It’s all been done before
Aren’t you just some poor egomaniac
Needing all of this for you?
Break your brain on some songs about yourself
So why ya talking now?
Egomaniac
All of this for you
Oh, Egomaniac

Get To Be - Demo

You feel so far removed
From all the things that you do
It all comes from being in that cozy room
You look so down and out
When all you've got is this doubt
What's it gonna take to get off that ass again
Oh no
I don't know
How you get to be this way
How you get to be this way
Oh no
I don't know
How you get to be this way
How you get to be this way
You look like such a shell
Like you've been dropped in hell
But you know that it gets so much worse than this
All those accounts first hand
While you just run to your band
What made you think you've had it worse than all of them
Oh no
I don't know
How you get to be this way
How you get to be this way
Oh no
I don't know
How you get to be this way
How you get to be this way
So you think you got a shrink you got it fixed
When there's a hundred other shits who'd need em first
So you think you got a shrink you got it fixed
When there's a thousand other pricks who need em real
Oh no
I don't know
How you get to be this way
How you get to be this way
Oh no
I don't know
How you get to be this way
How you get to be this way
Oh no
I don't know
How you get to be this way
How you get to be this way
Oh no
I don't know
How you get to be this way
How you get to be this way
Oh no
I don't know
How you get to be this way
How you get to be this way

Psycho Shit - Demo
04:42
|
|||
|
He’s eyeing you down, unassuming
He’s funny you find, such a silly little guy
But then his flags go flying, oh no
He’s saying psycho shit just like the rest
He’s got a red hat in his backpack, with a handgun
His mom’s an angel you see, he’s mean to her
He’s ghosted everyone in town, oh god
He’s spewing psycho shit just like the rest
All that psycho shit will come to pass
Oh all of that psycho shit will come to pass
He won't stop praising Elon Musk, getting wired on the daily
But all that shit I'm sure you'll fix
He’s getting louder with Steven, he met him once
Your pal Tucker’s got his back, his judgment lacks
He plays guitar in a small band, aw shit
He’s shouting psycho shit just like the rest
Oh, all that psycho shit will come to pass
Oh all of that psycho shit
He thinks JK is still a slay, he heard it from Shapiro
But all that shit I'm sure you'll fix
He says vaccines are such a scam, goddamn
He’s spitting psycho shit just like the rest
Oh, all that psycho shit will come to pass
Oh all of that psycho shit will pass
He’s got Frank Castle on his car, a blue line straight across it
Thinks NFTs are still the rage, he listens to Joe Rogan
But all that shit
Yeah all that shit I'm sure you'll fix

Harder Hair - Demo
03:26

My hair is growing to my ears now
Makes it harder to hear how I sound
If you'd believe me I have some doubts
Of if this ever ends
My hair is growing past my shoulders now
Makes it harder to feel what I am
If you'd believe me its feeling good
Until it stops again
My hair is growing down my back now
Makes it harder to think what am I
If you'd believe me I'm getting scared
Of what is going on
My hair is growing up my ass again
Makes it easier to feel complete
If you'd believe me this might work out
Until it stops again
Eventually I'm going to forget what all this feels like
All this subtle self-destructing mess
When it aligns I'd grab ahold and sink down even deeper
And rise into the fraud I know I am

Mother Aidan Lynn, Massachusetts
Creating indie grunge since about 2020ish give or take.
Rough production meets unfiltered emotion with the music of Mother Aidan. Album is still a WIP, but we hope it’ll be worth the wait.
Mother Aidan recommends:
You Were Overwhelmed
by oldsoul
Incredible album all around, deeply touching lyrics and beautiful instrumentals all around
go to album
Undeniably one of the best punk rock releases of the 2010s, one of the greatest "What If" bands of all time
go to album
Peach Pit - Audiotree Live
by PEACH PIT
This band is very easily traced back as the biggest inspiration behind this band, without them Mother Aidan would look very different probably

Shattered Shine
by Silver Car Crash
On the follow-up to their 2018 debut, Silver Car Crash bend noise around new wave sounds for rock music that's raw and contemporary.

Character Building
by Bad Bangs
Nostalgic, sweet, and just slightly offbeat garage rock with some truly stunning vocal work.
go to album
Gliders (ALBUM)
by Milk For The Angry.
Wound-tight SF rubbery post-punk that combines the nervous energy of Devo with bright power-pop hookiness.
