The Motive

The Motive

The Motive are a self titled indie punk four piece band from Birmingham, England headed by Add Jones. Other members include guitarist Bamba, bassist Biff and drummer Chris Green who was previously a member of The Regulars.

The Motive have been through several lineups and musical styles with Jones being the only constant element, however it seems as if the band have reached some kind of stability with its current line up.

The band play the Birmingham and Black Country toilet circuit, including the Flapper and Firkin and the Jug of Ale venues. They have recently begun to branch out, playing at festivals such as the Wireless Festival and have recently supported Rick Buckler's band, The Gift.

Name

The Motive have been through several names, including:

*The Dallas Technocrats
*Self Drive
*Sub Stereo

The final band name was decided upon when a friend of the band told them he had a dream where he fronted a band called The Motive. The rest of the band thought it was such a good idea that they stole it and claimed it for themselves before he could do anything with it.
