Welcome to Nashville's Savoy Motel - an intensely orchestrated and unique hybrid of glam rock, boogie, soul, power-pop, garage, punk, dance music and showmanship all rolled into one.  

Savoy's whole package opens up their horizons, and yours, to a sound made by four friends tired of witnessing music eat its own tail; with unclouded judgment, creative refinements, and peerless technique, they grab that tail and stick it into a wall socket, putting the cap back on 15+ years of rock revivalism and strident genre adherence. And they make it seem easy.

Savoy Motel are thrilled to announce they've signed to What's Your Rupture? who've recently given us memorable releases from Parquet Courts, Royal Headache, Iceage and more.  After their debut Hot One 7" which Consequence of Sound raved "a style of funky rock that feels somehow detached from the reality of the present, or really any reality at all. It's slick yet shambolic, grooving yet kooky.." and a slew of dates with Black Lips, Savoy hit the road this June playing Brooklyn, Chicago, Philadelphia and more - full list of dates below. 

Today they share new single "Souvenir Shop Rock" which NME claims is "the best guitar-based offering by a new act I've heard all year."


Savoy confess they "use rock and roll as a vehicle to reach and promote the feeling of TOTAL FREEDOM and "are defined more by a feeling than a sound."  The about face in approach is something the members of Savoy Motel had worked up to for years in their earlier projects (Cheap Time, Heavy Cream). They are prepared to change minds.

Stay tuned.
