About Motorhead
An unforgettable lead vocalist. A vast collection of fast paced, chord crunching rock n’ roll anthems. And a distinctive logo that’s adorned record sleeve after record sleeve " Motorhead has had all the critical elements needed for legendary status in place for a long time. Which is why 40 years after first forming they are still making noise " lots and lots of noise!

The band has always straddled numerous genres " speed metal, thrash metal, gold old-fashioned rock n’ roll " seemingly always at least one step ahead of their contemporaries. Leaders not followers, they play a brand of rock that sells millions without ever vaguely sounding like selling out " a tough act to keep up decade after decade. But keep it up they have, winning legions of new fans along the way, drawn to Lemmy’s rebellious but fun loving ways, edgy lyrics and tunes that find away of embedding themselves into your conscious and then refusing to let go. Who doesn’t know Ace of Spades, and who can refuse to bang their head a little when the first chord strikes?
