Биография

After several years in England's pub rock scene, ex-Duck Deluxe members Nick Garvey and Andy Mcmaster formed The Motors in 1977 with vocalist Bram Tchaikovsky and drummer Ricky Slaughter. Their first album was a splendid piece of guitar-driven pop/rock highlighted by the single, "Dancing The Night Away", Approved By was the album that earned them the U.K. hits "Airport" and Forget About You; the record saw the band's songwriting improving with forceful melodies and invigorating performances. After that record, the Motors split up; Garvey and Andy Mcmaster used the band's name for the 1980 album Tenement Steps, which didn't equal the spark of their first two records. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
