Stay tuned for the upcoming release of a brand new music video for the band's second single, "Daggers", directed by Matt Lord Zane in Los Angeles. The band is set to begin writing their third full-length album in the fall.

"The future looks really bright for Motograter at this point," says Nunes. "You may ask 'why are we still relevant?' Because we write good songs. Because we believe our recordings and our live shows speak for themselves. The sky is the limit, really."

Last year, Motograter released the official lyric video for the first single, "Parasite," directed by Brian Cox of Gemini Syndrome and Hollywood Undead.
