The Motel Pines

The Motel Pines is kicking off its full-length debut album A Sad History. With a unique indie/alternative/punk sound and recorded with the help of esteemed Dallas producer Salim Nourallah at Pleasantry Lane in Dallas. Songs from the album are already being played at non-commercial and college radio stations around the world.

Formed in Dallas, TX in 2015, after the long musical hiatus of singer and principal songwriter Michael Carrasco, The Motel Pines have come out of their corner swinging making an immediate impression on the independent music scene.

Their music is noticeably influenced by the punk-rock background of Carrasco but is tempered by the backbone of the rhythm section: bassist John Rowland and drummer Mark Starling. Rowland’s influences cross the gamut of early ‘90s alternative to Texas Country and Roots Rock. Starling also has a wide variety of influences, but his first bands were all in the alternative genre. Guitarist Ben Gaither adds mood and texture to what would otherwise be raw punk songs. This mix of influence really gives The Motel Pines a sound that is all their own.

Gaining momentum from their debut album, The Motel Pines are currently playing the festival circuit - already securing spots at the Deep Ellum Arts Festival in Dallas, as well as Indie Music Fest in Austin during famed SXSW. Look for them to maintain a heavy schedule of local and regional shows, with future plans for an upcoming tour.
