Review: Motorplant

Motorplant
“American Postcard”
(Shiretown)

The fourth CD by New Hampshire’s Motorplant is a batch of highly produced, radio-friendly tunes landing somewhere between Matchbox 20 and Third Eye Blind.  Supposedly, they were the local indie band that could have been big, but since no major picked them up they just made a CD that sounded like they had been.  Not really horrible and it sounds like they are into what they are doing, but…  I dunno.  Kinda scary.  Kinda funny.  Definitely all-American.  The “wish you were here” sentiment is your call.
