Japanese Motors

Hailing from COSTA MESA and comprised of RVCA pro-surfer and singer ALEX KNOST, guitarist NOLAN HALL, bassist DANIEL MICHICOFF, and drummer ANDREW ATKINSON, the band is known around Southern California for the insane, all-night blowouts they put on as much as for the driving, raucous garage pop they set the partying to. Rather than fight the influence of their surroundings like so many of their So Cal contemporaries, JAPANESE MOTORS have channelled it into their music, making tunes every bit as sun-baked and laid-back as their coastal environs and rife with positive imagery.
