Year in Rock 2012 Nominee: I Mother Earth

I MOTHER EARTH
We Got The Love
From: We Got The Love (single)
Released: March 21

A labour of love if there ever was one, I Mother Earth recorded and released We Got The Love this spring for fans who had been desperately craving new music from IME for the better part of a decade since the well-received but poorly sold Quicksilver Meat Dream. The idea was basic; here's a song, throw a couple bucks if you like it, and we'll go from there. No string of business meetings, no label pressures, no plan at all. And yet, its simple brilliance connected; a fan-helmed grassroots campaign got the tune its much deserved spins at radio, making We Got The Love I Mother Earth's biggest hit since the Edwin days. On their own terms, and with the fans top of mind. Take that, mainstream hit machine!
