“WHO WILL SIGN THIS BAND!†(Rockezine).
Was the very first response to the band’s self titled demo from 2004 and its introduction
to the world. The Motion from Tilburg began their adventure in October
2003. After they experimented with their sound in search of their own, they recorded
a three song demo at Rekorder studio in Hamburg.
The critics couldn’t miss it:
“Solid rock and emo: The Motion from Tilburg knows what to do with that. With
these songs this quartet already belongs between great Dutch bands such as
Face Tomorrow and Green Lizardâ€, wrote one of the biggest Dutch hard rock
magazines Aardschok. “The Motion is an incredibly tight collective that knows
how to create an atmosphere in generally heavy songsâ€, states another Dutch
music magazine Live XS.
The Motion hasn’t sat still after its praising start. It started to play as many shows
as possible. In its 4th show, the band opened for the famous Dutch band Face Tomorrow
and was able to play in a sold out venue called W2. The band is live as
convincing as on CD: “The sound which The Motion plays catches on and this
foursome knows how to build up a song strikingly well†(KindaMuzik about the W2
show). The band also played several shows in Belgium, including a gig at one of
Belgium’s greatest rock festivals Groezrock.
After the success of the demo, The Motion started to improve their sound. After a
line-up change, they chose to continue as a three-piece rockband. They wrote a
lot of new songs and decided to record seven of them. Because the demo was so
well received and the band loved to work with the guys from Rekorder studio in
Hamburg, they went back there. The songs were recorded and the result is a
seven song mini-album which will blow you away.
Since October 2006 The Motion has a new member added to its line-up. Koen
Damman (ex-Close Second, ex-Facing Down, Of No Avail) is a guitarist and
singer.
THE MOTION IS:
Dennis Danen: voice/ giutar
