Biography

Motion Theory is an alternative progressive rock band made up of four musicians from punk, funk, rock and classical backgrounds. Formed in 2008 at Durham University, the band is now based in Cheshire, south of Manchester, UK. Motion Theory has played all over the UK, received national and international recognition and supported Frank Turner, The Holloways and The Telegraphs.

Motion Theory launched a debut EP in 2008 and a debut album 'featherhead' in 2009, both supported by UK tours. 'Featherhead' attracted the attention of reviewers from the UK, Europe and the US, and won Manchester Music Unsigned Record of the Week in September 2009 ("this band has all the makings of something special indeed"). Five Motion Theory songs were entered to the UK Songwriting Contests of 2009 and 2010 – all five were rated as semi-finalists. In July 2011 Motion Theory has launched a new EP, 'It's not as dark as that, Friend'.

In January 2010 the Manchester Evening News called Motion Theory "Manchester's reigning head boys of cerebral heavy rock". In November 2010 Motion Theory were runners-up in the Northwest Regional Breakout Festival final at the O2 Academy, where the judges called their live performance "excellent".
