-BIO-

Motel Faces delivers pure, unfiltered rock with a fresh edge. Hailing from Cincinnati, this powerhouse band seamlessly blends alternative, grunge, power pop, and garage rock into a dynamic sound that’s as nostalgic as it is cutting-edge. Their music captures the raw energy of classic rock while pushing boundaries to create something unmistakably modern. If you're looking for a band that embodies the spirit of rock without the fluff, Motel Faces is it.

In 2022, BlackBird was released and became the bands highest streamed song within the first 2 weeks of its release. BlackBird was the first song produced for the band by Loren Turner, former guitarist of Cincinnati legends, Foxy Shazam.

“It is after midnight, I’m wide awake, and I’m playing Motel Faces loudly while working on this feature. If that doesn’t tell you all you need to know about this Cincy rock outfit, I give up. But in all seriousness, their 2020 EP was a banger. “Give It Away” will rev you up.” - Tuned Up

"With “Over and Over”, Motel Faces have created a simple, sharp rock number well suited to the current climate in music." - Alt77

"Motel Faces’ “Never Die Young” could be taught as reference material for how modern Rock N Roll is supposed to sound." - AltCincy

"...If you are a rock and roll fan, this is absolutely the album for you. One hundred percent." -Drunk Octopus

"...no-frills, straight-ahead, damn the torpedoes attitude that is full of energy, distorted riffs and catchy hooks." -Music in Motion Columbus

"We don't give a fuck rock and roll" - Project Concert 150
