The Motion Poets set out to challenge and develop its members’ musical ability and songwriting craft. Since their first gig in September 2016 the band have continued to change and develop their music to achieve their own unique sound. From fast paced indie on debut single ‘One Too Many’ to anthemic alt-rock on follow up “A Girl Like This”, The Motion Poets have began to sculpt a sound that holds it grounding in attitude driver guitar rock with several post-genre elements including dance-laden grooves, atmospheric guitars and textural vocal harmonies.
Since 2016 the band have played shows around Scotland and the UK including supporting ‘The Sherlocks’ in Edinburgh, 2 sold-out King Tut’s shows in Glasgow as main support (including King Tut’s New Year’s Revolution), a sold out support slot at London’s Dublin Castle as well as BBC at the Edinburgh Festivals 2017 and Stowed Out Festival 2018.
