They are the Motorhomes. They are from Sweden Yah! They are like a cross between RADIOHEAD and the TRASHCAN SINATRAS. I saw part of their video on MTV during a top 10 international charts show. I searched for about 3 months to find a copy when I found them I bought 3 copies - they are THAT good.

Review: Ok, here's the deal. This CD has 11 songs all of which are a softer tempo and less epic than "OK Computer". The lead (male) vocals sound very much like Thom Yorke of Radiohead. Plus! It's all in English! The best songs on the Album are "It's Alright" and "Into the Night". Tracks are as follows: 1. Heaven Sent, 2. It's Alright, 3. Don't Die Young, 4. For Whom It May Concern, 5. Into The Night, 6. Slow Down, 7. O'er Land, 8. Pictures At Sea, 9. Thirteen, 10. For Tomorrow, 11. Falling From Grace.

BE WARNED - this CD does not "rock" like Radiohead - it is a kinder, gentler form of kickass.

I have no idea why record companies haven't released this CD in the US. It's really good especially for a first album. Anyway if you hate being deprived of good music, BUY THIS CD!

This CD is hard to review i must say. The songs are overall very easy to like, but maybe a bit to easy. If you want to compare to other bands (which often have to do becasue it is so hard to describe music without some kind of reference) it sounds like Oasis or the Verve when they play it soft. The vocals are more emotional and maybe a bit depressed, but in the end very good. Moterhomes are a swedish band, so if you're not from scandianvia you will be for certain alone among your friends owning this album. It won't blove your mind, but you will not be dissapointed with Moterhomes.

I stumbled across the Motorhomes by chance and I have been impressed with what I've found. Very clear melody for all of the songs, and the style of writing for all of the songs is similar. They usually start with vocals and one instrument and continue to build/add music until the first chorus where everyone plays in unison. This is great effect that is created over and over again each song bursting with emotion. Great listen!

-High Points-
"For whom it may concern"
"Into the Night"
"Heaven Sent"
"It's Alright"
"Don't Die Young"

I picked this CD up in Sweden while I was living there and it is still my favorite CD almost 3 years later!
The songs are very "dreamy" and soothing and a little sad too.
Listen to it once and you will be hooked!

I'm sure the guys in motorhomes are sick of comparisons to Radiohead. Me? I don't think they sound anything like radiohead. Unfortunately, they come in the wake of many radiohead-esque/travis-esque bands so naturally they're pegged right along the same lines. Sure, they sure common elements. There's nothing ground-breaking here. The lyrics are above average. But somehow, everything comes together to make a very listenable, emotional album that's worth paying an import price for because you'll end up listening to it over and over again - and wishing they'd get off their asses and tour the US.
