Not for the faint hearted or pussy glamsters and sleazsters, Motochrist play bitchin' rock 'n' roll soaked in the dregs of punk rock with Motorhead and Ramones thrown in for good measure, as well as the odd curveball and melodies and twisted lyrics to boot. 'Live To Kill Another Day' proving the point perfectly, kicking things off on a barnstorming riff that Lemmy would be proud of before 'The Fist' pulls up on a killer guitar lick with sufficiently violent lyrics - This shit is the bomb right here, picking up teeth indeed. If this were played in a night club a riot would ensue, no doubt about it. Never mind the fist, this is like an exocet going off. Motochrist change pace on the title track with a suitably summery keyboard and Beach Boys melody and harmonies to boot, the cheeky scamps!
Swedes! A power trio! Girls! A name that resembles ‘foursome’! This must be my lucky day and a sure winner, yes? No. Unfortunately for these no doubt very likeable personalities I just reviewed Crucified Barbara & Barbe-Q-Barbies and both were ranging from good to very good so ‘Solitarium’ is the odd one out, unfortunately. Not that there’s isn’t any talent present in this fine band, because there’s plenty. It all just sounds so very… overdone, so over-thought. The sound is crispy clean, the girls obviously know how to play their instruments but there’s nothing lasting going on here. This is rock ‘n’ roll, people, or it should be. As a comparison, Fourever resembles good-girl Sandy from Grease. You know, the blond dolled-up Pink Ladies member played by Olivia Newton-John. And what we want is the leathered-up Sandy that gets touched up by John Travolta in the carnival at the end of the movie, the feline-like one with the endless possibilities and opportunities. Al the rest is boring
XFactor1 was formed with the intent of bringing decadence, passion, and intensity to the people who matter most, the fans. XFactor1’s dedication and strong work ethic proves their desire to be seen and heard and once prompted a writer for a rock magazine to proclaim them “Americas blue collar band”. They wear it like a badge of honor!
With the help of their favorite sponser Jagermeister and through their own efforts, XFactor1 has played alongside some of the top bands in active rock on the Mayhem, Uproar, and Rock On The Range festivals. Xfactor1 has toured nationally with Mushroomhead, Flaw, Psychostick, Boba?ex, etc.
