EP Review: The Man Motels – Dead Nature (Mongrel Records)
Alternative punk rock trio The Man Motels break all boundaries with their highly anticipated new EP, Dead Nature, out on July 28th via Mongrel Records. Taking inspiration from the gritty sounds of punk rock and infusing it with their unique modern twist, The Man Motels has crafted a raw and unapologetic collection of songs that fearlessly confront the chaos and complexities of the world.
A feverishly energised start, one with a persistent garage rock and raw punk sound, is the perfect way to start this EP off. With Sports, The Man Motels conjure up images of sweaty underground rooms where the packed in crowd reaches a near-delirious level of excitement.
It’s not quite an orgy of noise, but it’s not too far off it yet. That comes next with The Fever, an infectious example of how The Man Motels can be delightfully groovy too.
Something that is also present in the animated punk rocker that is the title track. The Man Motels demanding your interaction here, the groove led by the bass, and having a very ‘shout-along’ chorus. Before The Man Motels closes out this passionate and powerful release with a punchy body-shaker called Young Father.
It might be gritty and raw, it might be a bit uncouth and underground, but it is undeniably memorable.
