Ugly Motors

A stupid name from a grumpy band of trash talking (if you can discern the lyrics from the string can brambling) garage rawkin’ bastids straight out of the Twin City ash can. A little on the gloomy end, perhaps, for the morning bourbon binge but the primal thump and big sister lick make this woeful dawn worth knowing if only until the shakes abate and you finally punch that miserable bastard in his smug, little pince-nezed face.

FACEBOOK  ::  BANDCAMP

A Minneapolis garage rock band that makes some solid lo-fi rock. They share a member with Tiny Swimmers if you recall that band from GB 21. Like Tiny Swimmers they are heavy with distortion and speedily played instruments. Ugly Motors possess stripped down sound, which is perpetually enjoyable in garage rock albums. There’s a flashy style of guitar playing too, and if I can take a hint from the album art a sort of T. Rex glam element among other displays of skill that’s all contained within the truncated spasms of brief lo-fi ditties. Plus they’ve got a song called “Fart Party” at which I audibly laughed upon reading. No worries about gross lyrics in such a track; I couldn’t understand a damn lyric and that’s a mighty fine thing.
