The bassist/multi-instrumentalist Chris Constantinou and drum legend Rat Scabies collaborated for some years as core members of The Mutants rock supergroup. When making the fourth Mutants album, Rat noticed also some other demos Chris was working on and this turned into the project One Thousand Motels, involving only the two of them (quicker and easier to put in practice, considering the logistics around The Mutants musicians as a supergroup).
Their music is characterized by Vive Le Rock as "upbeat rock songs with a twist in the lyrical tail" and by Midlands Rock as "a match seemingly made in rock 'n' roll heaven (or a punky purgatory)". In 2020, they released the album 2% out of Sync, described in reviews as forging new ground. The album was co-produced and mixed by Nicholas de Carlo.
