Since reforming in 2018, The Man Motels – comprised of Garrith, Lyle, and Pierre—have consistently pushed their boundaries. Drawing influences from Violent Soho, Brand New, and Drug Church, their sound is a fierce blend of grit and attitude.
After the success of their debut album, three EPs, and multiple singles, the band returned to the studio in April 2024 to create Old Wounds, which they describe as their most authentic and powerful work to date.
Garrith from The Man Motels comments on the new album
“We’ve always aimed to keep pushing ourselves. The desire to challenge our limits and produce music that feels more real and powerful than anything we’ve done before is what drove this album.”
The band’s unwavering commitment to staying ahead of the curve has been crucial to their continued success, involving constant writing, collaborating with like-minded artists, and remaining true to their signature grunge/punk sound.
