No Solution/Mercury

Generally, the role of fashion models in rock music is to appear in videos and/or date a band’s lead singer. Sharon Middendorf is out to change that notion. The former fashion model heads up the band Motorbaby. This pop-punk trio is no bubble gum outfit. They’re are a tight power trio oozing with raw energy and rawer sex appeal. This is the band that Garbage wants to be. Motorbaby mixes punk, pop, New Wave, and Glam rock influences into a gritty yet appealing style, tough and sexy with addictive hooks and captivating vocals by Sharon Middendorf.
