Driving is a huge part of rock and roll’s enduring mythology. Images of cruising down the highway with friends and lovers while basking in the freedom of the open road pervade pop music’s lyrical canon. Yet, so often, these idealized images clash with the everyday drudgery of being a motorist: traffic jams, detours, and bad news on the radio.

This tension is central to @motor.ists’ sound - as much about the colourful possibilities of life as it is about the way those possibilities are boxed in by technologies. It’s clear that, for the band, creative collaboration is the only way to break the tension. In a world where everyone’s been in their own bubble, Motorists have pushed theirs together and worked through feelings of isolation as a group, to the tune of jangly guitars, infectious power pop hooks, and a steady motorik beat. The result is an album full of revelations about what it means to be together, and how bad you want it when you’re being torn apart.

After getting the nod from Jack White to open for him (last year at @masseyhall), Motorists certainly caught our attention. Great people, great music, and Toronto locals. We’re all in!

Come see them with us at SSF - Saturday 26 September at @thegarrisonto! 🎟️ on sale now at the 🔗 in bio 🤘
