***Hard-On Rock´n Roll! New Orleans based garage punk / power pop legends M.O.T.O. are back with their tenth full length album. The Record is co-released by Airiston Punk-Levyt, Blast of Silence Records and Svart Records—all hailing from Turku, Finland. The songs on this album were recorded in studio "Dwyers" earlier this year while the primus motor of the band, PAUL CAPORINO, visited Finland (early January 2012). The album was later mixed and mastered by Caporino’s trusted man, GARRET HAMMOND (Kill MOTO, Raw Power, etc), in Downers Grove, IL, USA. This time Paul Caporino brings you wore-down catchy and up-tempo tunes with a lo-fi, under produced sound guaranteed to rock your socks off! Visitors in this album consist from the cream of the alternative scene in Finland: Niila Kunnari (Boredom Boys, God Given Ass, The Heartburns) on drums, Kerttu Vauras (Khatarina, Kovaa Rasvaa) on guest vocals in "Big Emotional Life" and Mikko Luukko (Sweatmaster) on guitar—just to name a few. After 30 years Caporino still delivers and M.O.T.O. is very much alive and kicking! They don't regard him as the "Beatles of punk rock" for nothing! The most important genre release of 2012 so far?
