Motion Theory is an alternative-progressive rock band based in London. Formed in 2008 at Durham University they released their EP "Sunlight on the Sand" that year.

In 2009 they recorded their debut album "Featherhead" and extensively toured it around the UK from June-October. It has received some fantastic press and won Manchester Music record of the Week in September.

In 2010 the Manchester Evening News called Motion Theory "Manchester's reigning head-boys of cerebral heavy rock".

In 2011 Motion Theory released their follow up EP "It's not as dark as that, Friend" at a launch gig called Gig of the Week by the Manchester Evening News. It won five stars and Record of the Month from Manchester Music, and a string of rave reviews.

The other bands on the bill sound good, so come for doors at 7.30 and miss the rush! See you there. It should be a pretty intense  read the full post here >>
