Motion Theory
"“Technically Motion Theory are on to some really promising ideas and have the competence to see it through. Singer Dom has an impressive range, the guitar and bass work are superb...this band have all the makings of something special indeed." - manchestermusic.com"

Motion Theory is an alternative-progressive rock band based in Manchester. 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 January 2010 the Manchester Evening News called Motion Theory "Manchester's reigning head-boys of cerebral heavy rock".

Their music is available for download from http://www.motiontheoryband.com
