Motorplant organized in Lebanon, New Hampshire in 1994, and have released three full CDs and two CD Singles. Since its inception, Motorplant has rocked venues from Boston to LA, with its cutting-edge music, performing more than 1,500 shows in the past eight years. During this time, the band has found acceptance and achievement in all aspects of the music industry.

Motorplant released its first full-length CD, self-titled, in 1994, selling a significant number of copies at shows. The single "B.T.F.T.U./Batteries" was released in 1995, followed by "Emily/Life Juice" in 1996. The band‚s second full length, 1998‚s "Inside The Walnut" was ranked the #1 regional release at New Hampshire commercial radio in '98. The CD was also added to rotation at 254 college radio stations, charting in the Top 30 at 47 schools, reaching #1 at WXIN (RI), and #2 at KRUX (NM), & WSFX (PA.)

The band was invited to perform on ESPN's X 2Day Show, and also licensed "Inside The Walnut" to ESPN for use during the 1999 Winter X Games and the X 2Day Show. MTV‚s television series "Road Rules" licensed songs for the 1999 & 2000 season and ABC TV‚s prime time series "Making The Band" licensed the single "Broken Heart Disease" during it‚s premiere season.

In December of 1999, the band began recording their follow up to the critically acclaimed "Inside the Walnut". "American Postcard" was a year and a half in the making as the band self-financed the project using gig money to fund the entire operation. Produced by Ken Balon (Motorplant) and Andre Maquera (Trey Anastasio of Phish, Neil Schon) and mastered by Jonathan Wyner of M Works Mastering (David Bowie, Aimee Mann, Letters To Cleo), the band was able to work at an appropriate pace for them to capture their performances, arrangements and production goals as they had envisioned. Ken states, "The entire recording experience was a pleasure; the process was exciting and satisfying. All of us knew the band members, Andre and myself, just from the quality of the raw tracks that we were working on a potentially significant recording. We certainly captured the sound and energy we were looking for."

Motorplant utilizes many musical styles on their latest effort which can be heard weaving between the songs, overall "American Postcard" is a pop rock recording with some punk influence here, some funk there, and a touch of metal. With influences ranging from Led Zeppelin and Collective Soul to Eve 6 and Blink 182, "American Postcard" combines the best of these styles to create a sophisticated-garage band feel. As Ken puts it "We look to 'American Postcard' to accelerate Motorplant‚s notoriety. Additionally the songwriting, the recorded performances, and basically the entire CD package reflect a wizened maturity."

Motorplant is signed to Shiretown Records, which is distributed to indie retail by the Orchard, and have endorsements with Rapco, Budweiser, and The Dare Strap. Blue Mountain Guitar Center, W. Lebanon, NH sponsors the band. Motorplant tours their home region perpetually averaging 190 dates per year, with four national tours to its credit and currently booking a fifth national tour.
