The Mommyheads are a storied indie rock project with a deft blend of pop melodies and progressive rock textures. Formed in New York City in 1987 by Adam Cohen, the band later relocated to San Francisco, signed with Geffen in 1997, and re-formed in 2008 to continue creating. Known for their inventive arrangements and thoughtful lyrics, the Mommyheads have cultivated a devoted following on college radio and indie charts, earning comparisons to XTC and late-80s King Crimson influences.
