About this album

Tenement Steps is a taut, underrated statement from The Motors, sharpening the band’s pub rock roots into brisk power pop and new wave. Released in 1980, the album leans on lean guitar lines, clipped rhythms and a cool, urban edge that suits its title and era. The Motors were already known for balancing melody with bite, and this record extends that formula with a harder, more contemporary feel than their earlier work. Built for the post-punk moment without abandoning classic pop craft, Tenement Steps captures a band sounding concise, stylish and fully in step with the changing British rock landscape.
