The group formed back in 2008 and then christened itself Motion Device in 2010. It’s built a fanbase on a grassroots level and its Youtube channel has over 7.3 million views and 39,000 subscribers. Earlier this year, they ran a 45-day crowdfunding campaign to finance the recording of their new album Eternalize, a collection of hard rock tunes that shows the influence of prog rock acts such as Rush and Dream Theater. According to a press release announcing the gig here, the band has two hours worth of material including covers, originals and acoustic songs that it will present at Brothers Lounge. The up-and-coming act counts Alice Cooper, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Evanescence’s Amy Lee, Zakk Wylde, Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale and Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider as fans.

If you pass on listening to this band because of their ages, you’re really losing out. Sara may be only 13, but with that voice and ability, she can give you a fantastic rock ballad, or a hard driving rocking tune that will put you on your feet, have you banging your head and flashing the Heavy Metal sign.
Motion Device plays songs that say something, Positive Hard Rock, Music that says, I’m gonna be me whether you like it or not, not that whiney, nasally, pity me garbage that’s been called rock n roll for way too long.
If you love real Rock-n-Roll, you’ll love Motion Device.
Can’t wait til they decide to come waaay south to Arizona. This band is going to blow up and soon!
