Dave Favours & the Roadside Ashes - Cheap Motels After Midnight (2022)

The glitz and glamour of being in a rock’n'roll band must be one of the all-time great myths. In most cases, it’s plenty of late nights, with next to no money, where one of the most important questions is always, where are we staying after the show? In the case of Dave Favours & The Roadside Ashes, this lifestyle was the inspiration for the title of their second LP, Cheap Motels After Midnight. It’s an appropriate title, as the album captures a group that’s more experienced, more battle-hardened.

A recent live review of the band said, "Dave Favours & The Roadside Ashes are unique in that they so effortlessly blend indie rock, alt country and ragged dusty pop to create their own jangly, roadside flavour. Fringe country with more than a tad of pop sensibility.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves when describing this album.
