There has been a rise in the number and quality of Christian guitar pop bands in recent years, led by the likes of Leeland, Starfield and the mighty Switchfoot. If these are your kind of bands, then meet the band who just may just become your new favourites. Me In Motion are a power trio from Nashville, although you would be forgiven for thinking they were British given their almost Britpop sound. Attempting to write "songs that will inspire people to 'live' in a way they never have before" singer/guitarist Seth Mosley displays a maturity beyond his 22 years. A perfect example is the anthemic "Losers", which on first listen is a rallying call for all those who are bullied/put down at school for being different, but more than that it is a call to look out for those you personally may consider a loser and show them the love of Jesus. Chock full of gorgeous vocal harmonies, soaring guitar melody lines and an underpinning of driving rhythms, this is an uplifting and satisfying album that will receive heavy rotation on your music player. The boys have received quite a bit of peer recognition as well, with support slots for the likes of Red, Pillar and Newsboys. For the future I would prefer to see their influences being a bit less obvious, but there is no doubting that these guys have the talent to go a long way in this business.

Product Description
The outstanding new album from the incredible three piece rock band. Me In Motion’s unique identity as a group is expressed in their first radio single Losers. The aggressive, groove-based anthem instantly emerged as a huge crowd pleaser and as a song with power to affirm and motivate listeners.
