Momma’s ‘Household Name’ is the rise and fall of the rock star

Momma is an indie-rock band from Los Angeles founded by members Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten. Their new album, Household Name, is, in their words, “the rise and fall of the rock star and the tropes and tribulations that come with that arc.” It sees them pay tribute to and reference some of their musical heroes, like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Veruca Salt.
