Band: MOTEL BLACK
Who: 4 people from Boston
making post-punk Boston songs.

Two weeks ago these Boston indie crusaders released
their splendid debut album HUMOR BALANCE.

Turn Up The Volume was pretty thrilled about it and wrote: “The avidness
of The Afghan Whigs, the ferocity of Aussie hammers Wolfmother, the blues rock
force of The Black Keys (Humor Balance), the torching tenseness of Pearl Jam.”

The band has a brand new video clip out now for the title track,
one of the highlights of the longplayer. It reflects their red-hot
swagger just finely.

Boston Bulldozer MOTEL BLACK Play It Loud On Debut Album ‘HUMOR BALANCE’

Standout longplayers

19 July 2022

Band: MOTEL BLACK
Who: 4 people from Boston
making post-punk Boston songs.

Debut album: HUMOR BALANCE

Brian George (vocalist/guitarist): “The overarching lyrical theme of the LP is faults.
It can be scary to express yourself, but you have to do it, even if that means being picked
apart by whoever is into that type of thing.”

Turn Up The Volume: The afire avidness of The Afghan Whigs (Gates / PPBB), the ferocity of Aussie hammers Wolfmother (Quoting Thoreau), the blues rock force of The Black Keys (Humor Balance), the torching tenseness of Pearl Jam (Morning Hum / Evening Standard) and a chill-out closer Single Stall. Do I have your attention? I thought so. As the cliché goes: play it loud.

Tower Of Sound – Boston Noise Dreamers MOTEL BLACK With New Smack ‘QUOTING THOREAU’

Posted on by JL

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

29 October 2020

Band: MOTEL BLACK

Who: Firm noise band from Boston producing hook-laden rock, atmospheric and noisy soundscapes, embracing elements of post-punk, garage, doomy folk, and psych-rock.

Pick: QUOTING THOREAU

“I wrote this song three years ago while living in Dorchester’s Codman Square. As with most
of the songs that I write, they are about nothing and everything at the same time. What was swimming in my head when I wrote this – and is always there in one way or another – is the idea that change is cleansing and particularly in urban development,” says Brian George (vocals, guitar)

Score: The towering wall-of-massive sound this Boston noise quartet produces is
huge, I repeat huge! From the Metallica-like ‘Nothing Else Matters’ intro on the intensity
and vehemence of this high-voltage passion stroke grows slowly but surely towards a sonic orgasm. Afire guitars, poignant vocals and an overall titanic orchestration with
an overwhelming effect. You’re out of breath when the track suddenly ends. Wow!

The pressure to build
The pressure to grow
Speaking to me
Is like quoting Thoreau
And every complaint
Deserves an excuse
And I wane
