Motive started in June of 1999. We released our first CD "DAMNED IF YOU DO, DEAD IF YOU DON'T" in 2000, it has eight songs. We played a lot of shows, including the Milwaukee Metalfest, Testament, and Machine Head.
In 2001, we released a Four Song E.P. and we went on tour w/Flotsam and Jetsam, plus, played many other shows.
Then, we released "WORN DOWN DREAM" in 2003, this CD has 10 songs and really helped establish the band. A SHIT TON of indie Touring and world wide press spawned everywhere.
We then released "ROCK N ROLL TERRORIST" in 2005. Shows at the Marquee Theatre, Whisky A-Go-Go and many road trips were then staged and crushed.
WORN DOWN DREAM and ROCK N ROLL TERRORIST were recorded at VILLAIN RECORDING in Phoenix, AZ. You can hear several songs from each release, here on our myspace page.
We have released 4 CDs and have played 325+ shows, in 22 states, in eight years. MOTIVE also has earned the privlege to open for many national metal bands that have come through Phoenix, AZ. since late 1999. Please have a look at the photos for many cool flyers and ads. Raging reviews everywhere and tons of fan support have kept us in the game for years.
The videos posted on this page were filmed at: the Marquee Theatre, Chasers' Nightclub, and The Whisky A-Go-Go. Thanks to First Row Talent, Pro-Motion Concerts and Events, Luckyman Productions, Foulmouth Productions, Gigantix, M Productions, the Whisky, and all the MOTIVEHEADS, Horns UP!!!!
