ALTERED BY MOM is a female-fronted posiTIVE vibes alt-rock band from Canada. 

They combine a knack for infectious melodies and classic songwriting with a tongue-in-cheek love of rocking the hell out.

Last year, Canada’s best-known musical power couple Gina Kennedy and Devon Lougheed released their latest EP, “AHEM,” and things have been picking up speed ever since. They scored a publishing deal with Arts & Crafts, an official artist endorsement from Yamaha Music, and got their tracks featured in film and TV. Fans of Alison Mosshart, Avril Lavigne, and Paramore take note, their first full-length is dropping in 2025.

Altered By Mom is made up of your favorite musician’s favorite musicians, and in this capacity they have:

  • rocked their way across the globe on festival stages like Osheaga, Reeperbahn, and SXSW
  • opened for artists like 21 Pilots, Sam Roberts Band, Jimmy Eat World, and City and Colour
  • co-written songs with members of Bush, Mother Mother, and Aysanabee (contributing multiple songs to the latter’s 2024 JUNO-Winning album for “Songwriter of the Year”)

No stranger to the world of sync, Altered By Mom’s productions have been placed in Kim’s Convenience (CBC), Raising Expectations (Family Channel), and Motive (CTV) and they composed and recorded original music for sketch comedy series The Dessert. In 2023, they signed a publishing deal with Arts & Crafts that will find them seeking to expand their placement reach to the US.

Altered By Mom makes high art for the lowest common denominator… and that’s YOU.
