Even though we haven't been a band for 3 years, we still accumulated an EP worth of songs between Daylight Breaking and now. We had the intention of using these songs for a new full length album, but with everything happening right now, that won't be happening any time soon. Max recently moved to New York, so that dispels any possibility of a No Motiv tour in the near future. Therefore, we decided it was time to record what we had written, and within the last 2 months, we've been working on what we are calling "Winterlong". The EP contains the last 6 songs we wrote together and is being recorded at my studio in Santa Ana, CA. We're excited to be able to have the freedom and flexibility to record and produce the songs ourselves at our own pace with no outside pressure or expectations.The band last released Daylight Breaking in 2004.
The majority of the recording is done, but the process is currently on hold while I'm gone on tour working sound for our friends in RX Bandits. We have no other formal info as of yet, but we expect the songs to be finished by October. We will work out the details as the months go on, but we want to hold true to the name of the EP and release it in the winter. We haven't decided the medium in which it will be released, but we're gonna work on adding some cool things with the whole EP package.
Oxnard, CA's No Motiv has posted a lengthy update via MySpace, updating fans on their projects since their hiatus began in 2005. The band also confirmed a new recording dubbed Winterlong:

Never a fan of this semi-modern Nardcore sound and never got into No Motiv but I know plenty of kids who were in the late 1990s. 2+ Replies

I just read an article from 2005 and found out that Matt Skiba belongs to the Church of Satin. Discuss. 6+ Replies

I've always enjoyed this band, and they got better with every release, but Daylight Breaking was an incredible leap beyond anything they'd done before. This band should have been HUGE off of that album, and I am super-psyched to hear anything new by them. 1+ Reply

I wasn't too into this band's recorded output, although I did see them tear the stage up in '98 when they toured with the Ataris.

This is a total surprise... I knew about the songs, but to get to finally hear them would be just great.

Holy shit, awesome. There are demos for most of these floating around and they were, by far, the best stuff these guys had recorded. I'm glad they're going to give it a proper release. | Features
