Biography

Motosierra hailed from Montevideo, Uruguay, where the quartet came together after the late-'90s demise of Uruguayan acts like Chicos Electricos and Cross. With influences such as Dwarves, Turbonegro, Puffball, Motörhead, and G.G. Allin, Motosierra's sound was a ramrod blast of fierce punk chording, screamed vocals, and sleaze -- put simply, sonic hedonism in fast motion. Marcos, Luis, Gabriel and Walo debuted with XXX (No Fun) before issuing a series of 7"s and split releases. XXX appeared again on various imprints and for various markets, as did Motosierra's Rules! LP. Other releases included Kick Ass Rock 'n' Roll, a split with Brazil's Forgotten Boys, and appearances on tribute albums to the Ramones, Turbonegro, and Zodiac Mindwarp. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
