One of the most anticipated debut albums of recent times is ready for it's time to shine. After the success of the Auckland 4 piece's debut self titled EP and the follow up Into The Fall, Motocade's first long player is everything you had hoped for and more.. Loaded with melodious indie pop hooks, juttering guitar lines, hammering bottom end and sprinklings of vocal delight and sound effect-ary, Tightrope Highway will get inside your skin.......

This record shows the depth the band have and their ability to transcend rock, indie and explore experimental pop avenues.
Their style fits somewhere in amongst the intensity of the Strokes, the groove of Talking Heads and the scattered beauty of early Kings Of Leon.

The band have played at a range of New Zealand’s largest music festivals including the Big Day Out, Home Grown and Rhythm and Vines as well as at high profile events such as NZ Fashion Week, and the APRA Silver Scroll Awards.

April 25th: Monte Christo Room, Auckland
