The Motives UK

We are a 5 piece cover band situated in West Yorkshire. Our music choice is mainly based around 80s music with genres including ska, pop, punk, new wave.The Motives, Bradford’s Punk, Ska and 1980's Electronica covers Band was formed  by Paul Cousin, Del Trudgill and Andy Thorpe back in early 2017. The gents called upon the talents of their favourite musicians on the Yorkshire music scene to complete the band’s line up. Steve Atkins and Paul Guthrie also had a wealth of experience as  permanent members of the likes of Bradford-based Bands ‘The Alpine Movement”, “Vandal Supreme” to name a few (to be edited). 
We perform all the classic Punk, Ska and Pop hits from the 70’s all the way up to the 1980's with our dancefloor fillers like Bad Manners, The Specials to The Stranglers, The Vapors,  Elvis Costello, Tenpole Tudor to Depeche Mode and Culture Club naming just a few, and also some complimentary 'The Jam' hits thrown in and on it goes.
