This is such a loss. Some of the nicest folks I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

Get yourself down to one of their shows and keep an eye out for whatever it is they do next!

I'll miss you One Million Motors

Hey everyone,

2023 would be 10 years since I (John) started OMM and what a wild ride its been, particularly the last 5 as a full band. But all good things must come to end, so at the end of the 2022, OMM will be no more.

There's no bad blood between us or anything like that, we're just moving on to different things. So let's see what next year brings eh?

Thank you to every individual who believed in us and came to our shows, bought merch and sang along, you are the what makes it all worthwhile. More specifically we'd like to shout out Ryan at for your amazing dedication to producing and directing our music videos over the years - some of the most fun we've had!

And thank you to all the bands, venues, promoters and journalists that supported us along the way. There's some truly amazing people out there who don't get nearly enough credit for their effort and dedication to our underground scenes - to name a few of our faves - The Little Buildings The Old Cold Store, Nottingham Ear Nutrition Colin's Punk Rock World

We have 3 shows left this year which are -

26th November - Cluny 2, Newcastle supporting The Fiend Club Band

11th December - Details TBA!

21st December - Trillians, Newcastle supporting Blame Yourself

All our remaining merch is up on Bandcamp for cheap as well as at these shows, so go snag a bargain!

Be good, stay safe, and thank you for being awesome. John, Mick, James and Emma x
