New Denver

"The debut record New Denver clocks in at an ambitious 72 minutes and every single one of them Is necessary listening. This is NYC's best debut record of 2008." -NY Press

Motel Motel is a history of rock youth in a blender. They croon with the spirit of an old country ballad, but one careening through the tunnels and avenues of their home base, New York City. Forming there in the fall of 2006 they honed their music in garages, kitchens, and basements, until the February of the next year found them playing their first shows across the city and surrounding states. Received with open arms by both the claustrophobic bars of the lower east side and skyline painted barns of Richmond VA, they began to find peace in their dualities. For home for them is not the city, they are from Denver, Hawaii, New York, and Virginia. And more so, county rock for them is not antiquated charm of the past, and rock and roll is not a commercialized beast of the present, rather both are the same, a desperate, loud rattling of America's motel rooms and their cloistered road warriors.
