The Motels were an 80s New Wave group, fronted by singer Martha Davis, and their best songs were full of emotiongs..longing, lost love, missed opportunities. In some ways the late 80s reflected a loss of Punk Rock's innocence and energy. The Motels made it very personal. The had a string of wonderful songs, "Total Conrol" 1979, "Only the Loney" 1982, "Take the L" 1982, "Suddenly Last Summer" 1983, "Remeber the Nights" 1983, "Little Robbers" 1984, "Shock" 1985, "Icy Red" 1985.
Martha Davis had a a solo carreer after the Motels disbanded and the band had reformed for concerts and Marth Davis has toured with vaious linups including some original band members and has done soundtrack and compiation albums.
