Press Reviews
"the most brutal show i've ever been too... and i've never seen someone bleed that much without passing out. intense." - i want to listen (zine)
My band played with in constant motion in a little shed in the middle of nowhere in western Massachusetts. Near the beginning of the show it started to pour, and the shed instantly became packed with bodies as people tried to avoid the rain and the hordes of mosquitoes that suddenly appeared. "This is gonna be miserable," I thought. end on end played first because in constant motion was waiting for their ìlight guyî to show up. What? This bunch of kids is waiting for a light guy so they can play in a 10 foot by 8 foot shed?!! I promptly forgot all about it while end on end played our set. Kids were literally hanging from the rafters and falling down constantly because it was so packed inside. Then in constant motion set up, and all hell broke looseÖand I suddenly understood why they were waiting for the light guy. During their first song I noticed some kid holding a piece of board with both hands and thrashing around in the midst of the band. ìThat jerk just almost brained a couple kids up front while he was flailing around with that piece of woodî, I thought. What the hell was someone doing thrashing around with a board in a shed this small and so packed with people? Then all these floodlights the band had set up around their equipment started going haywire, and I realized that the guy I was watching had an entire mobile light rig nailed to the board! What followed was a half hour of finely orchestrated insanity, with all five members of the band flailing about like mad and a light show that was perfectly choreographed to the music. Absolutely brilliant. "Hey guys!" why the hell didn't we think of that? Musically, in constant motion is just like their live show is finely orchestrated insanity. Borrowing pages from Saetia, Orchid, The Red Scare, and the like, the band builds a volume of sound that ebbs and flows almost organically from softness to screaming and back again. Beautiful, painfully aching post-hardcore music from a bunch of kids who were also amazingly cool people. One of the best bands we played with on the entire tour, and one of the more exciting demos I've reviewed so far for Coldbringer.
