Motherboar

About Me


"Taking what they need from metal, noise, hardcore, grind and so on, Motherboar have done something few can claim, they have created their own sound. You can’t pinpoint what Motherboar sound like and as soon as you figure it out they change what they do and you lose it again."

-Iann Robinson


"The Motorhead of stoner has emerged."

-Metalrage.com


"Next to Scissorfight, the unrooooooliest mammoths in stoner-sludgedom to rumble the bowels of the stonerati round here be MOTHERBOAR, who led a Turbonegro-meets-Lord of the Flies grabass bacchanal up at Hellgate last summer..."

-Boston Phoenix


"There are shades of sludge, Motorhead-style speed boogie, punk, thrash and even hardcore in their fierce sound. These guys never let up for a moment and don’t even think you are going to get some clean breaks or other nonsense to interrupt the action. This is white-knuckle aggression at its finest. "

-Hellride Music


"like the bastard love-child of the last Corrosion of Conformity LP and Clutch. You will snap your neck banging your head to their brakedowns, I guarantee."

-Daredevil Magazine


"Throngs of sweaty kids were tearing into each other in a frenzied bacchanal of drunken moshing, spewing PBR everywhere, banging their heads like their necks were about to snap, all of them swinging and thrashing together like a wild beast with a million arms and legs at quite possibly the most riotous house party Allston had seen in a while. And what was the cause of this insanity on the humid evening of August 20? It could only be the glorious monster born of Boston’s metal music scene, the fierce fivesome known as Motherboar."

-SomeOther Magazine


"Raise the Death Toll is a hulking beast of pure, distilled metal groove. Its titanic riffs are meaty and thick without becoming ponderous, and Kenny Irwin’s prehistoric howl sends chills down the spine of any warm-blooded mammal."

-TransformOnline
