The Motor Tom

We are The Motor Tom and we make smart music for dumb people. We want to put New York City into a blender, crush it into a powder, snort it and bleed it out in front of our friends, family and strangers.

Our music is about those things that are both exhilarating and crippling; those things that we see and feel through the mundane rituals of life in NYC.

The subway: a technological marvel and an emotional blight.
The buildings: symbols of ingenuity that block out the beautiful sun.
The pulse: the most exciting way to drain your will to live.

Such is our course in music: entertainment for the people, expression for the self. We are The Motor Tom and we are professors of the Idiotique.

We've licensed our music to commercials and web serials; our EP entitled "Tracks" is on iTunes, Spotify, et al; our debut LP produced by Gregory Lattimer (Albert Hammon Jr. "Yours to Keep") is due out Summer 2015.
