MOTO BANDIT

MOTO BANDIT is a dream-pop band composed of Ben Merlotti and Dennis Pickett. They originated in Cincinnati, Ohio, but are currently based in Nashville, Tennessee. The duo started making music in college out of boredom, creating their first song, "Golden Shores," in Dennis's room. They gained some attention with their single "KEANU" in 2019, which garnered significant streams on Spotify. MOTO BANDIT's music is characterized by its seamless production and honest, reflective themes, often likened to the soundtrack of an indie film. Despite their growing audience, the band's primary goal is to enjoy the process of creating music without the pressure of fame.

MOTO BANDIT has released several singles, including "OBSERVATIONS 1," "LOVE FANG," and "DAYLIGHT DOOM," showcasing their evolving sound. The band members work regular jobs and view music as a fun, creative outlet. They have not played live shows frequently, preferring to focus on producing music that they enjoy. While they have plans to release more music, their approach remains casual and driven by personal satisfaction rather than commercial success.
