notes

formed in 2000 by longtime friends and college freshman Nicholas Mendola and Steven Carveth. Added Bob Kiekbusch, Joe Hooley and Peter Jay in late 2000 with Mendola on vocals, Carveth and Hooley on guitar, Kiekbusch on bass and Jay on drums. Recorded the terrible "Against Shooting Stars EP," in August 2001 to mild attention at best. Carveth left the band in March of 2002 to be replaced by Nick Tardif, whose addition inspired and moved the band to making halfway decent music, or at least trying to. In August of 2002, clearmotive recorded "Words As Weapons," an EP which saw its release almost immediately. And by immediately, we mean six months later. The record gained airplay and helped listeners give the band a second chance. In March of 2003, Jay left the band to more thoroughly pursue his studies. He was replaced (physically), by Rob Ruffino a few days later and the band toured the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest in the summer of that year. With the October 23 release of "Is There A Market For This?"-recorded in late summer of 2003-clearmotive is excited and ready to bring the record to life.

    this band was on it before it was even on. can't believe they didn't make it bigger considering the amount of garbage, make-up wearing, fake emotion, hair-straightening bands out there. seventy-four thumbs up.

  • Great googly moogly.

    author: sourapple

    clearmotive's IS There A Market for This has absolutely beautiful vocals as well as good guitar riffs. Nice whiny and screamy, as well.

  • Upbeat and better than most bands you hear on the radio
    author: MattyFro

    There is definitely a market for this. Lyrics are meaningful and guitars rip. Much better than any of the crap out these days.

  • Outstanding-Best CD ive heard in a while
    author: Derrick from AKSIONediting

    The vocals are great and it is always in my CD player-I believe track 8 with the hand claps remizzle is by far one of the greats-Definitely pick this one up!
