The members of Dallas-based band MOTORCADE -- Andrew Huffstetler (Voice), James Henderson (Guitar, Keyboards, Voice), John Dufilho (Bass, Voice), and Jeff Ryan (Drums) -- have previously recorded and/or been in touring bands with St. Vincent, The Apples in Stereo, Pleasant Grove, The War on Drugs, Daniel Johnston, and many more.

The fruit of these dues paid is a fine and fluid debut album that sounds quite effortless to the listener, obviously, since the initial popularity of the band’s first single “Recover” has turned the song into a local hit in Dallas, where it has stayed in regular rotation at nationally respected community radio station KXT for almost a year.

Hitting on every pressure point of late 80s-early 90s button-the-top-button songcraft ala Depeche Mode, New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and so on, the 11 songs in 40 minutes on the band’s upcoming self-titled debut album (Idol Records, Jan. 19th, 2018) will melt away the years for anyone who grew up in the era, and make anyone who wanted to, jealous.

“When we first started actively playing together, we had a couple of my ideas and just played them to see if we could do it,” says Henderson of the tune, which ultimately led MOTORCADE to become an actual thing. “It worked out alright, but then I realized we’d need more songs,” he continues. “So that was the impetus to start writing.”

The rest of the album is no afterthought, to be sure. Everything here is just as strong as “Recover,” and is sent over the moon by serious production chops and musicianship, owing again to the substantial pedigree that these guys came to the studio with. It’s an aspect of record-making that is seemingly ignored by younger bands making music influenced by this era.

“For me, production and songwriting go hand-in-hand,” Henderson says. The sounds are every bit as important as the notes and chords being played.”

The self-titled debut album by Dallas-based foursome MOTORCADE arrives via Idol Records on Jan. 19th, 2018, preceded by the single “Recover,” streaming now. Members of MOTORCADE are available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
