Motobunny manages it; fronted by two women and with a three-man backline, the group combines the sneering energy of Detroit rock (<b>Stooges<\/b>, <b>MC5<\/b>) with the bouncy pop of <b>Katrina &amp; the Waves<\/b> and <b>The Go-Go&#8217;s<\/b>. Crunchy power chords, deep riffs and <b>Bonham<\/b>-level hits on the drumheads propel singalong melodies with solid vocal harmonies. All five members have extensive pedigrees that help explain the influence of wildly disparate musical styles, but the fact that it all works together so well can only be put down to chemistry. It&#8217;s not overstating the case to suggest that Motobunny could reveal themselves to be that rarest of acts: all things to all people (or at least people who appreciate a near-perfect mix of solid rock and melodic pop).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File next to: The Bangles, Amboy Dukes, Joan Jett It&#8217;s quite a tightrope walk to create music that rocks hard \u2013 really hard \u2013 yet maintains a strong, hooky, singalong [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9667,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,49,51,62,65],"tags":[2564],"class_list":["post-9666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-garage","category-new-release","category-pop","category-rawk","category-review","tag-motobunny","cat-33-id","cat-49-id","cat-51-id","cat-62-id","cat-65-id","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9666"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9666\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9893,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9666\/revisions\/9893"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
