SPINCOUNT Featured Artist of the Week
THE MOTORLEAGUE
The Motorleague is the anthem to every bad break-up or shitty boss you’ve ever had. Crafting songs that have been called “The Anthems Of The Call Center Generation”, this band has been running on all cylinders since inception.
The music is fast or often faster – based on stoner rock riffs played at a higher RPM and choruses that are catchy as sin – but won’t leave you feeling guilty for liking it.
Their appeal lies not in business plans, hair styles, fancy myspace graphics, or major label marketing, but in the simple belief that honest rock and roll music speaks for itself – and that DIY only works if you actually do the work.
The Motorleague released Black Noise in May of 2009 through The Forward Music Group. The debut was produced by Ian Blurton (C’mon, The Weakerthans) and has received much critical acclaim.
The band has recently been nominated for 3 East Coast Music Awards (Dec 2nd 2009) for Group Recording, Loud Recording, and Video Of The Year. The band’s 2nd video from Black Noise is scheduled for release on March 4th, 2009.
The Motorleague will return to the studio on February 8th, 2010 with producer Steve Rizun (The Flatliners, The Creepshow) to continue to prove that a Canadian East Coast rock band does not need to be a self fulfilling prophecy.
