Babes in Toyland was an American alternative rock and punk rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, formed in 1987. The band was founded by vocalist and guitarist Kat Bjelland, along with drummer Lori Barbero and bassist Michelle Leon, who was later replaced by Maureen Herman in 1992.

To Mother is the first EP recorded by Babes in Toyland consisting of the outtakes from the previous release Spanking Machine, but was rerecorded in Europe after their tour with Sonic Youth which can be seen on 1991: The Year Punk Broke. It was produced by John Loder, and released 3 August 1991 by Twin/Tone Records. A childhood photograph of Kat Bjelland’s mother, Lynne Irene Higginbotham, appears on the album’s cover. The photograph of Bjelland’s mother was taken in Bjelland’s hometown of Woodburn, Oregon.
