They are dirty, they are slick and they explode in rock and roll fashion. Along with electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and sometimes keyboard, they subtly but affirmatively show their influences of bands such as Weezer, Foo Fighters, The Beatles, The Clash, The Cars and A Ha Yes!!! A Ha!!! So What!!

Sunmotel | Tom Petty once sang that good love is hard to find. Sometimes, good rock is hard to find, too. Anyone who has noticed this will no doubt appreciate Sunmotel, the new side project for singer/guitarist Javier Mendoza, and its a great project at that. The four-member group has strong musicians who combine to bring guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums to the mix. Theres no denying the fact that this is a hot act and the sound is quite appealing. Mendoza sings well and plays smoothed-out, clean guitar rock that sounds great blended with Sweet Jane Janes keyboard melodies. Its great to hear a band with such a sophisticated sound, and the actual songs are lively and fresh sounding, which makes picking up one of their CDs a must. Just watching them can be a rewarding experience in itself, as theres certainly no shortage of energy and lively stage antics. Where there was once a vacancy in the local music scene, Sunmotel has certainly filled it.
