“Shitfaced And Outta Luck” is the debut album from German hard rock band Motor City Mayhem and it was released on 25th May via Metalapolis Records. The band had previously performed under the name Shotgun Express, but had decided to rebrand after the original singer left. The album feature ten full throttle, dirty rock n roll tracks and the band name is quite appropriate! The track “Bad Habit” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 25th May.

 


 

 

 

Other than the fact that they used to be known as Shotgun Express and that they’d won the German Rock and Pop Award for best (Hard) Rock Band back in 2012 whilst performing under that name, I don’t really know much about the band. After touring with Great White, the lead singer had departed and some of the remaining members had decided to start again with a new name.


Motor City Mayhem are original guitarists Scott and Johnny and original bassist Robin; alongside new drummer Armin and new singer Van.


You can find the band on Facebook where they describe themselves as ‘high action rock n roll’ – https://www.facebook.com/motorcitymayhemband/

About “NI Rocks Recommends”

The simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends” is to acknowledge and promote some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI. The albums that I’ll be recommending are those that you’ll hear me playing tracks from on my shows.

I'll not be giving marks or ratings or analyzing the tracks in great detail; just telling you something about the artist and the album. It’s a personal recommendation to go check something out, not a traditional "review”!
