Motortrain falls into the Rhino Bucket or Rose Tattoo brand of rock and roll. Blues based dirty sounding rock and roll that just wants to have a good time and not take themselves too seriously. - HeavyMetalResource.com
She’s Hot, Bad Girls, and Goin Goin Gone, can have you tapping your toes and smashing beer cans on your forehead. That latter tune is likely the best with it’s strong southern feel. - Dangerdog.com
…Motortrain keep things very basic so don’t expect huge melodies or massive hooks when spinning this record. What you get is simply, honest, barroom rock ’n roll. - Rockport.be
…if you listen carefully, you may just hear the essence of tremors emanating from that town placed right in ‘the middle of nowhere’. You see, they make them loud in Westville. - UberRock.com
Straight Six is mixed with hard rock riffing born in the late ’70s and much of the ’80s. Esp. recommended for fans of Nashville Pussy, Supersuckers, AC/DC, Skid Row, Rose Tattoo and similar scene-giants. - MetalProvider.net
They deliver a no holds barred, straight down the line southern rock flavoured style of music. Imagine Nashville Pussy, Supersuckers and Rose Tattoo all meeting at an AC/DC convention, and you have the idea of where this lot are coming from. - Classic Rock Magazine

Bio
Motortrain is a rock and roll band whose approachability and relatable songs make them easy to have a good time with. Each of their shows are more like a backyard party in the rural towns the members come from with bonfires and beer cans piled high, girls dressing up to dance and show off, and guys swapping stories about what kind of trouble they got into that week. It doesn't matter if the show is in a small dive bar or their huge annual campground party at Rocklahoma, everybody is there for a good time.
Over the years Motortrain's reputation as a live party band has given them the chance to perform with acts like Texas Hippie Coalition and the Supersuckers, and made them a hit in the festival and rally scene. They've been the featured download in Classic Rock Magazine, a featured artist on both CountryMusicNewsBlog.com and PureRockNews.com, and received steady rotation on the internationally syndicated Hard Rock Nights radio show as well as other local and internet stations. When asked about their crossover sound, frontman Ump responded:
"I'm offended by rock artists that switch over to country just to try selling to that crowd when the rock audience isn't buying. We just want to make good music. At our core we love country music and our lyrics come out that way. We just happen to back it with a lot of big guitar riffs and solos and that's never going to change. We're giving fans the music they love, with a little rock edge. People like what they like, and it doesn't have to be traditional country music. I know just as many people that are huge fans of George Strait as I do that love AC/DC, and many of them love both. "
This coming year Motortrain will be releasing their full-length self-titled album, which will include the singles "Whiskey Fingers", "Briars & Barbed Wire", and others. The year will also bring a much larger-scale touring schedule as well as new videos.
