Motion Theory is an alternative progressive rock band based in England made up of four experienced musicians from punk, funk, rock and classical backgrounds.  

Formed in 2008 at Durham University, Motion Theory is now based in South Manchester.  An EP in 2008 and debut album 'Featherhead' in 2009 promoted with national tours (including London, Edinburgh, Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle), including supporting Frank Turner, the Holloways and the Telegraphs, mean the band has a growing reputation across the UK.
 
In 2009 Motion Theory entered three songs, including the album title track "Featherhead" into the UK Songwriting Contest - all three were ranked as semi-finalists.

 
In September 2009 'Featherhead' was awarded Unsigned Record of the Week by Manchester Music.  

In November 2009 Motion Theory was added to the international Progarchives.com in the Crossover Genre (with bands like Radiohead, Supertramp and the Moody Blues).

The album is available for download from this website (login required). 

In 2010 two more of Motion Theory's songs, 'All I Need' and 'I Love the Smell of the Universe in the Morning' were entered into the UK Songwriting Contest - both were awarded semi-finalist positions.

Motion Theory are writing new material for an EP in 2010.
