More from MOTORCADE today! I have been a total pest about this song "Slip," so it is satisfying to read Mitch Mosk of Atwood Magazine's "Today's Song" thoughts about it: "Everything’s surging forward with dramatic, volatile force, and yet MOTORCADE are calm, cool, and collected: Masters of balancing chaos with control, they shine with charming post-punk passion... [‘Slip’ is] a sign of turbulent times; an anthemic, emotional rallying cry in the darkness; a valiant outpouring of self-expression in a sea of overwhelming futility and frustration."
Check out the full review! And if you are in Dallas, come out to the Kessler Theater on June 24 to see MOTORCADE live (with FIT supporting!) Tickets on sale here.

The men of MOTORCADE are the subject of this piece over at the Dallas NPR affiliate KXT, discussing the new album 𝘚𝘦𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘐𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 out this Friday from Idol Records. The band will play an in-store at the perennially awesome Good Records on Sat., April 23.
Check it: “The sense that MOTORCADE knows precisely what it wants to achieve, and knows precisely how to achieve it is evident throughout the 11 tracks on 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, spilling from the ominous beauty of the opening track ‘Shift’ through to break-out single ‘Slip,’ which aches with reverence for vintage 1980s New Wave and Gothic-tinged pop.”
No shit. “Slip” is my Cure, Echo, Siouxsie-laced jam. Click for your life, black-hearted ones!
"Perfectly blends the best of the ’80s while offering up intriguing and impressively original songwriting. The band’s musicianship and songwriting chops are evident throughout 'Deliver,' as it is a strikingly original composition despite heavy influences from three decades ago." - mxdwn on MOTORCADE
"Ready to whisk you away to the lands of dark, smoky bars, equally smokey eyes, and plenty of scuffed leather." "Desertion" by MOTORCADE is the "Song of The Day" at Austin's KUTX 98.9. Debut album out this Friday on Idol Records.
Another song from the upcoming MOTORCADE debut album for a snowy Saturday. "When The Hit Comes" opens the record and is guitarist James Henderson's favorite. Check it out over at The Big Takeover.
"Anyone who came of age in the era of early MTV and the British Invasion’s second wave might just feel a kinship with 'Desertion.'" Gini Mascorro at KXT in Dallas for the public radio premiere of the new single from MOTORCADE! Debut album out on Idol Records Jan. 19th.
"It’s all done in a surprisingly polished manner for a band’s debut single. Well, until you learn that this band of Dallas music vets collectively has years of experience as players in acts such as St. Vincent, The Apples In Stereo, The War On Drugs, Daniel Johnston and more." Central Track on the latest MOTORCADE single "Desertion," out now.
"Doses of '80s-like brooding co-mingle with uplifting choruses. Suggests great things to come from the Dallas-based outfit," says scribe Jedd Beaudoin over at PopMatters about "Desertion," the new single from the upcoming debut album by MOTORCADE (Jan.19, Idol Records.) The band features gentlemen that have recorded and or/been in touring bands with St. Vincent, The Apples in Stereo, The War On Drugs, and Daniel Johnston. RIYL: Depeche Mode, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Echo and the Bunnymen.
"Recover" by MOTORCADE is the MP3 At 3PM at MAGNET, which describes the song as "a charming piece of indie rock that recalls Phoenix and Tame Impala, a thick mass of guitars and synthesizers from which a sharp hook emerges.” Debut album coming Jan. 19th from Idol Records.
Dallas-based foursome MOTORCADE contains some of the busiest musicians in town, with members that have previously recorded and/or been in touring bands with St. Vincent, The Apples in Stereo, The War on Drugs, Daniel Johnston, and many more. "Recover," the first MOTORCADE single, has landed in rotation on Dallas community radio KXT, where it has held strong for almost a year. MOTORCADE will now follow "Recover" up with a self-titled full-length album, available via Idol Records on Jan. 19th, 2018.
