Motormark were a Scottish electronic punk band formed in 2001. In early 2007 Motormark split up and members Jane and Marko founded a new band with two new members called FANGS. The band consisted of Jane Fisher (stage name Jane Motoro) and Mark Law (stage name Marko Poloroid).
Jane was in folk singing group, The Singing Kettle, with her parents Cilla and Artie. However in 2001, she left to form Motormark with Mark Law, whose mother was a bass player with a Polish rock band.
Jane and Mark met at high school in Kirkcaldy when they were in their early teens. Jane liked music such as the Pixies, and they both liked bands Siouxsie and the Banshees, Atari Teenage Riot, Devo, and Sonic Youth. They began drinking at the local cemetery with a large group of friends, when Mark formed a high school band. Jane and Mark grew closer, and eventually all other members of the band left due to their "weird" relationship.
The band went through various name changes, and recorded music which their teachers found inappropriate. Mark was even banned from attending music class. Both Jane and Mark left school at the earliest opportunity. Jane wanted to be an actress so, she moved to France. Mark studied music in Glasgow, but after a short period of time moved to New York City, without telling anyone, and stayed there for six months. Pictures appeared in the News of the World of Mark DJ’ing in Casablanca.
In 1995, Jane was involved in a serious car accident in Paris. Both Jane and Mark return to Scotland for jobs in Jane's parents band, The Singing Kettle. But, in 2001, they left and used the money they had made to release their first record as Motormark.
The pair were surprised when Too Pure suggest they release some Motormark singles. Their Ramones sampler 'Lets Go' was released on Jane’s birthday, the same day Joey Ramone died, and NME dubbed it as ‘nauseating'. They played their first live show on 23 January 2002.
