Mothers Against Noise
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2004, Wolf Eyes and Sonic Youth claim to have encountered a protest group called Mothers Against Noise [1], whose aim would be to protest, infiltrate and disrupt Noise bands at concerts and on the internet. Some confusion exists around this group with some contesting its authenticity and arguing it is nothing more than an attempt at a viral marketing hoax.
In addition to the supposedly genuine Mothers Against Noise site [2] there is also another "organization", Mothers Against Noise (dot) ORG [3] and [4]. The "editorial" team of MothersAgainstNoise.ORG is composed by C-drik (a Belgian Noise musician [5], M. (Portuguese, editor-in-chief of the electronic magazine Connexion Bizarre [6]), Job (a Dutch noise music enthusiast [7]) and Hightower (Danish, member of the Industrial/Noise act MKultra [8]). The objective of this "parallel" Mothers Against Noise group is to release free online compilations of Noise and Experimental music [9] featuring artists from these broad musical genres from all over the world.
