EP 280 Motherless: Touring Strategies, Label Shifts, and the Confrontational Album Do You Feel Safe

In EP 280 of And Now The Band, Tom sits down with Stavros of Chicago-based heavy band Motherless to dive into the band’s new record Do You Feel Safe, their confrontational sound, and what it means to thrive in today’s metal and punk scenes. Stavros shares insights on regional touring strategies, why mid-sized markets like Indianapolis and Louisville are outperforming big cities, and how keeping shows affordable builds stronger music communities.

The conversation also explores the band’s transition to Prosthetic Records (now under Monarch/MNRK), shifting label dynamics, and the blue-collar touring lifestyle Stavros embraces over mainstream success. They discuss the punk rock ethos behind Do You Feel Safe, standout tracks like The New Romance and Reptile Dysfunction, and how political frustration and personal catharsis fuel Motherless’s raw energy.

Stavros also opens up about mental health, music as therapy, and microdosing mushrooms, along with reflections on his time in The Atlas Moth versus the more concise, hardcore-driven identity of Motherless.

This episode is a must-listen for fans of Motorhead, crossover punk, extreme metal, and underground music culture.
