April 2008

After months of delays, re-designs, set-backs, and Desktop Tower Defence, we can finally say welcome to the new Motive Sounds web site.
The concept of the site is to feel like a magazine. Each month we'll commission someone to design a front cover, with each page constantly being updated in some shape, form or colour. April's cover image is by Barry Smith of Create & Consume, the architect of the whole thing.
We haven't just been sitting playing
Desktop Tower Defence for the last few months though (leaderboard = MotiveSounds), we actually have some news as well...
The delay riddled vertical montanas 7" featuring all members of Jonquil and Youthmovies is now available to buy from the Motive shop.
Pre-orders are now being taken for 'The Message' 7" by scrapyard noise-punks; Ned who happen to be touring the UK at the moment. Check the live page for the when and where.
Let Airplanes Circle Overhead have decided to call it a day. We'll be releasing 'Delays': a very limited EP of the last recordings from the band within the coming months so keep an ear to the ground.
The tracklisting is as follows...
1. Courageous Behaviour Often Leads to Nothing More than Immediate Personal Tragedy
2. Peace Through Jesus Christ
3. As An Enemy
4. Two Spent Swimmers
As one band leaves, two more join...
We'd like to welcome Sea Kelp to the ranks. Sea Kelp is another way of saying Samuel Francis Cain, formally of The Next Autumn Soundtrack and Hooray! Say The Roses. An EP will be released sometime in the Spring/Summer, but for now you can download a few demos from the Sea Kelp roster page.
