The Onion
"Listening to Moxie Motive's new self titled EP - which gets released at this show - it's easy to think of the group as an amalgam of Chicago indie-rock sounds. There's raucous, Ponys-esque garage rock ("Flush Of Hearts"), a Smashing Pumpkins-type ballad ("Gone By Now"), and chiming guitar-rock that recalls Eleventh Day Dream and Silkworm ("Tourist"). Thankfully though, Moxie Motive doesn't sound like a glorified cover band. This EP - the 2-year old group's first - shows the band finding itself, but bodes well for things to come."
Timeout Chicago
"Moxie Motive can range from glisteny pop to restrained, violin-tinged acoustic moments, but it's frontman Matt Duhaime's rough-hewn vocals that really give the music its character."
Cheryl Waters, Disc Jockey at KEXP Seattle, WA
"I officialy have goose bumps listening to Moxie Motive."
Shannon Sauter, Disc Jockey at KEXP Seattle, WA.
"A great band from Chicago."

"a touch of Radiohead, Television dressing, sturdy drums, and a violin floating on top."
In Concert By Craig, weblog
"I was just starting to wonder if the Chicago band Moxie Motive had any (moxie that is)...when about 2 minutes into their song "Flush Of Hearts" I had my answer when a blast of Pixie-esque guitar noise erupted."
Grog Mutant, thechickenspeaks.com
"They pack a bit of the Mudhoney sound mixed with Columbus, OH pioneers Pretty Mighty Mighty to form a sound all their own, yet at once familiar. Moxie Motive have a hard driving, stripped down sound that stays fresh with the addition of a violin and on one track a cello. My favorite tracks are "Gone By Now" and the should-become-classic "Tourist.""
