Musical style and influences edit
The band performs songs in English. Vladislav Parshin's vocals have often been compared with the voice of Ian Curtis, the frontman of the British band Joy Division. This, and the fact that Motorama played their first two mini-albums in a style close to the sound of classic post-punk, led to the fact that the group is often accused of copying Joy Division. Motorama’s singles demonstrate a more melodic and ghostly sound than Joy Division’s dark and fast paced punk.[1][2]
Vladislav Parshin and Irene Parshina formed another side-project, Leto v Gorode (Russian: Лето в городе, lit. 'Summer in the city'), in 2012.
