Mother Russia (Fe song)

"Mother Russia" is a song by the British progressive rock band Feeder. It was released in 1993 as their debut single. The song is known for its heavy, grunge-influenced sound, a departure from their later, more polished rock style. "Mother Russia" explores themes of political disillusionment and social commentary, alluding to the then-recent dissolution of the Soviet Union and its impact. While not a commercially successful single upon its initial release, "Mother Russia" is considered an important early track in Feeder's discography and is often cited by fans as a formative example of their unique sound. The song was written by Grant Nicholas, the band's frontman. It helped garner attention from record labels, ultimately leading to Feeder signing a record deal.
