Hailing from the heart of Chicago’s vibrant music scene, Sonic Motel is a high-voltage alternative rock outfit with a sound as infectious as it is unrelenting. Fronted by vocalist Trace Hamilton, with Aidan Cramer on guitar, Sam Frederickson on bass, and Isaiah Stieger on drums, the band channels the spirit of acts like Foo Fighters, Weezer, and Green Day—while carving out a sound that’s entirely their own.
Fusing raw energy, punchy melodies, and a no-holds-barred stage presence, Sonic Motel has built a loyal following that regularly fills Chicago venues to capacity. Their ability to connect live, loud, and unapologetically makes them one of the city’s standout rock acts.
