Motive [moh-tiv]: An emotion, desire, physiological need, or similar impulse that acts as an incitement to action. A basis for an action or a decision.
When former band members from Through the Eyes of Eve; AJ (vocals) and Brendan (guitar) met Mikey (bass) and Keith (drums) formerly from Side Effect X, they knew they were onto something special. With former electronic artist turned guitarist Riggers joining the band their sound was complete.
Fusing chunky guitar riffs, with moving vocals, dynamic lead guitar, smooth bass lines and tight percussion, The Motive have developed a powerful sound that is sure to move the average listener and rock the foundations of any venue. With a variety of vastly different influences from a wide range of bands both local and international, The Motive have fused elements of these infuences to shape their own unique sound.
Creating epic sound scapes and catchy melodies, The Motive provides songs that will infiltrate your ear drums and remain firmly planted in your memory.
We are The Motive.
