Musical style and influences
The band performs songs in English only. Vocals of Vladislav Parshin have often been compared with the voice of Ian Curtis, frontman of British band Joy Division. This, and the fact that Motorama played the first two mini-albums in a style close to the sound of classic post-punk, led to the fact that the group is often accused of copying Joy Division. The situation has changed with the release of the group's first LP, Alps, which became the most famous of their works. This album featured intonations of New Wave and Indie pop, and the music in general became more bright and melancholic than depressive.
In 2010, a side-project of participants of the Motorama - group "Утро," released a Russian-language album.
The second studio album called Calendar was released October 18, 2012 on the French label Talitres.
June 27, 2014 Oleg Chernov became the new drummer, replacing Roman Belenky, who left the band for family reasons.
The third album «Poverty» was released January 26, 2015 via Talitres.
