MOTORFINGERS – BLACK MIRROR – LOGIC(IL)LOGIC  
Clicked on the website for cyber spies Holt Renfrew and then ventured over to the band’s website for information on them so I can begin this review. Instead of having a website the band maintains a page on the corporation that is MySpace. There was a big advertisement on the band’s MySpace page for… Holt Renfrew. Cleared my cache, deleted my temporary files and trashed the cookies and I still hate cyber spies. Long live proxy IP addresses.
With a sufficiently bad disposition to start Motorfingers is an Italian band – something that surprised me as listening to them makes one believe they are Americans – mixing modern hard rock with rock and some commercial sounds. The production is solid. The drums, especially, carry oomph. The singer has a good voice suited to the genre and puts some feeling into it. The band loses marks when it begins to sound like Nickleback or mallcore, the latter on the third song In My Dreams. No one with any modicum of good taste should like, listen to or remotely tolerate insipid, jaded and retarded crap like mallcore or Nickleback. Not coincidentally, the refrain sounds like the words ‘Captain America’ except that is probably wrong. Motorfingers is nowhere near as bad as Nicklehack or whatever, but the point had to be made. The album ends with a slower song with feeling and depth. Here is the band www.myspace.com/motorfingers and here is a contact address promotion@atomicstuff.com. – Ali “The Metallian”
