Loud. Fast. Unapologetic.

Formed in late 2021, M1 is Calgary’s high-voltage tribute to the unstoppable force that is Motörhead. Covering every era — from the blistering Fast Eddie Clarke and Philthy Animal Taylor classics to later powerhouse lineups — M1 delivers raw, loud, fast rock ‘n’ roll with zero compromises.

Fronted by Paul Holm on lead vocals and bass, channeling Lemmy’s legendary growl and thunderous low end, the trio is rounded out by Les Anonymous on explosive, relentless drums and Roger Hott on razor-sharp, angry guitar. Together, they bring their own ferocious take on the Motörhead experience; sweaty, thunderous, and played hard and heavy.

If you crave it dirty and at full volume, M1 is your band.

"Great version of OTT you guys are solid. I enjoyed that!"

- Paul Inder Kilmister

Ace of Spades • Overkill • Bomber • Iron Fist • Killed by Death • Love Me Like a Reptile • Deaf Forever • Over the Top and more.

No backing tracks. No shortcuts. Just pure rock ’n’ roll at full throttle.

Powered by Paul Holm on lead vocals and bass, Les Anonymous on drums and vocals, and Roger Hott on guitar and vocals, the trio channels the raw, no-nonsense intensity of classic Motörhead with maximum volume and zero compromise.

"This isn't nostalgia. This is resurrection. The spirit of Lemmy lives in every thunderous note these maniacs unleash. No gimmicks. Just a tight, everything louder than everything else band doing absolute justice to Motörhead."

- Chipp Robb
