Why Thundermother Refuses to Use Backing Tracks (And Who She’s Calling Out)

Thundermother’s Filippa Nässil isn’t here to play the corporate rock game. In this raw sit-down, she exposes the nightmare of American work visas, the “hierarchy” of stadium tours, and why most modern live albums are over-produced garbage. If you think your favorite band is actually playing every note you hear on stage, you’re in for a rude awakening.
