Happy Wednesday! This week’s Alternative Artist Discovery is Momma. The Brooklyn, NY band is buzzing at Alternative with their new single “I Want You (Fever).”  Allegra & Etta from Momma says, “We are influenced by the music that we loved and bonded over as teenagers. Throughout the years we have evolved our sound into something more uniquely ‘Momma’ – big guitars, strong hooks, and some unexpected production aspects thanks to Aron.” Thanks to Rob Wilcox from Polyvinyl for VIP Access on your Artist Discovery Of The Week.
