About

Motel Thieves are an upcoming band from Swansea, South Wales. Despite only playing as a five piece since the end of 2017, they’ve already built a name for themselves on the gig circuit, performing a number of sold-out shows and sharing stages with The Pale White, BILK, The Himalayas, Bez (Happy Mondays), and Pastel. Following in the footsteps of The Verve, Stone Roses, and Happy Mondays, the five-piece intends to take their explosive arena sound to new heights. The band was formed by Callum (vocalist) and Jake (guitarist) who were failing to get any success out of their previous projects. Callum scouted for a drummer across a number of musician websites to eventually find Matt and later Sam (guitarist) and Zak (bassist) got on board with the project. Motel Thieves stand out with an enigmatic stage presence that’s certainly iconic to gig-goers. Paired with soulful guitars and a soaring rhythm, ‘Over the Hills’ takes influence from the 80’s britpop scene.
