Info
“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 Lizard”, 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 songs”, 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 found a great extra guitar-player.

Howdy!
Just wanted to pop in and give you a heads up on Sommersby's October Competition!
If you haven't already heard, the competition (hot on the heels of his recent neck-in-neck September fiesta) will offer 20 parts for the winner and is open to all artists that have between $9999 and $0 in budget.
Please check the forum for updates on contest rules and regs….starts 25 October!
This is a great opportunity for you. Campaign with the believers to let them know you'd like to be nominated and encourage them to vote for you when the time comes.
Of course, if you'd like to, or you know someone who would like to, donate parts for the prizes in the Competition, just send (or have them send) Sommersby the details under a message marked “October Donation."
Hope you join in on the fun and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!
