Motorjoke

about

The story of Motorjoke is basically that of a cult band. A band that made an impression and influenced a lot o people but never became well known. Motorjoke never really made it. They were the younger version of the Swedish hardcore pioneers Krunch, coming from the same small municipal town of Timrå and as long as Krunch existed they somehow got stuck in their backwater. When Krunch broke up in 1989 Rille Himmerlid took over the drums from his younger brother Rolle who switched to the guitar. That lineup recorded Tokfursten. In Sweden few understood the greatness of Tokfursten but, like Krunch, it was the in the US, UK and Germany that the audience took their strange punk/postpunk mix to their hearts. They got attention from College Radio in the US and the album sold quite well. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
