Alternative rock band Motorcycle Display Team (MDT) have released a remastered version of their hit single ‘Oh Country, My Country‘ ahead of their highly anticipated compilation album.
The legendary band, which consists of Dublin drummer Morgan Condon, singer Steve (Steveknievo) Hinds and bass player Brad Larroquette, are releasing this stomping, on July 5th.
The single is based on how a person’s location of birth is irrelevant.
Speaking about the single, singer Steveknievo said: “MDT is an international affair, first and forever we’re just members of the human race.”
“A person’s location of birth should be trivial but they’re nudged and cajoled a million little ways from the beginning to believing otherwise. Which seems to have dragged us to the present political spiral down into isolationism and xenophobia. Well fuck that.”
The band’s album, ‘Populism- The Manifest Destiny of Motorcycle Display Team‘, is due for release on Friday 26th September and it will be available digitally and on vinyl.
‘Oh Country, My Country‘ will be available on all music platforms on July 4th.
BIO
Motorcycle Display Team (MDT) are an alt-rock band that have carved their own niche, self-releasing a collection of idiosyncratic records, and never taking themselves too seriously.
Bringing a fun sensibility to their candid live act at hundreds of shows across Europe, their songs tackle themes from the personal to the political with a wry and self-deprecating humour.
With the 2024 release of the Heartbeaten EP, the lineup expanded to keys, flute, backing singers and string quartet ,arranged by Nick Squires (London Philharmonic Orchestra, Pet Shop Boys, Girls Aloud) which received notably positive reviews in magazines such as CLASH, VENTS and BACKSEAT MAFIA and the selected ‘Single of the Week’ by both City Sound FM & Radio Wigwam.
