I See Stars are in the midst of their 2026 Spin the Wheel Tour, where they are supported by an amazing young artist MOTHICA who is a stand out in a pretty crowded female alt-pop scene.
Written by Tea Powell
MOTHICA coming from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was a new listen for me, but it was my first time seeing them live. Their songs are poppy but also slides to being a little heavy in sound. A perfect blend. MOTHICA came out with an energetic vibe that had my attention immediately. I really enjoyed their set and sound and how they captured the crowd’s attention.
She had such a positive energy on stage which I enjoy in live music.And had a bit of a sense of humor as well. I wasn’t familiar with her music going into it, but I’m a fan now. Their set wasn’t a long one but it has stuck with me.

ABOUT MOTHICA:
Rather than immolating in the light of a flame, MOTHICA absorbs the heat and fashions the embers and ashes into anthems rooted in dark alternative soundscapes and hyper-charged by heart-wrenching metal catharsis. The singer, performer, and consummate creative has unfettered herself from the throes of addiction, held back thoughts of suicide, wrestled with mental health, and grew as an artist and as a woman. For the past decade, MOTHICA has woven her multi-sensory sonic cocoon around a diehard audience. The songstress has entangled listeners in the embrace of albums such as Blue Hour [2020], NOCTURNAL [2022], and Kissing Death [2024]. Regarding the latter, Wonderland marveled at how “this raw, vulnerable, and deeply cathartic collection of tracks is paired with expansive, cinematic visuals,” while LADYGUNN hailed it as “an innovative audio/visual journey that delves into her intricate relationship with life, loss, and mental health.” EARMILK raved “KISSING DEATH is bold, important, and transformative,” and KERRANG! christened it “brilliant.” Leveraging art school roots, her experience as a sought-after illustrator and graphic designer, and unstoppable D.I.Y. drive, she handcrafted an inimitable world, powering everything from merchandise design to creative direction on videos and photo shoots. Moreover, she has collaborated with Polyphia, Scene Queen, and Papa Roach and toured with Coheed & Cambria, Halestorm, and many others. Along the way, she has tallied hundreds of millions of streams. Projecting her voice with intensity and opening up her heart with intention, MOTHICA sounds reborn on her debut for SHARPTONE and more to come.
