On their dynamic and engrossing debut single ‘Into The River’, UK alternative rock outfit Down In Motion have immediately showcased a nuanced and fluid sound that takes influence from genres like pop-punk, alternative rock, emo, post-hardcore and indie rock, crafting something that feels endlessly melodic in the process and entirely their own.

There is a real sense of catchiness throughout the track that stems from both its upbeat instrumentation and charismatic, energetic feel. Down In Motion have a slick and forward-thinking style that leans on nostalgic alternative rock stylings to create a style that feels both familiar and wildly exciting. These juxtapositions are what characterise Down In Motion, feeling both modern and nostalgic, complex and simplistic, heavy and melodic, speaking to their nuance and wealth of experience as musicians.
