In Motive

In Motive formed in Los Angeles around vocalist and guitarist Kyle Ryan and bassist Anthony Pervine, who were later joined by drummer Alex Portnoy and keyboardist Brandon Perez. They started playing local open mics before releasing their debut album in 2018, which shared its name with the song 'Subtle Mistakes.'

That album's title track became their most recognizable song, dealing with themes of regret and human relationships. They followed it with two more albums, 'Shadows and Light' in 2020 and 'Rewind' in 2022. Other songs like 'Revival' and 'The Disconnect' also appear among their top tracks.

In 2020, the band faced some criticism over an alleged plagiarism issue with a song called 'Falling Away,' though the accusations were eventually dismissed. Their music pulls from alternative rock, pop, and indie folk, with influences that include Coldplay, The Killers, and Radiohead.
