Their debut album, Kill The Love, conjures dark imagery with energetic tempos and displays Go Motion's progressive take on an established genre. Tracked at Black Lodge Recording Studios (The Appleseed Cast, The Get Up Kids) in Eudora, KS, the new LP was mixed by the band at Smart Studios in Madison, WI (Beck, As Tall As Lions) with the help of Beau Sorenson. The collaborative result is a melodic rock album that demands dancing. The intertwining of guitars provided by James Luther and Albert Kurniawan in combination with Luther's keyboard talents creates ethereal resonance - simultaneously energizing and hypnotic. Kurniawan takes on lead vocals, and channels The Cure's Robert Smith as he effortlessly ranges from entrancing to eerily robotic. David Luther's percussion varies from sparse and meticulous to drunkenly discotheque and is supported by Albert's bass lines, which bump and bounce with exuberance. 

Go Motion have played with many major and indie label bands in 2007 to 2009 including Kill Hannah, Under the Influence of Giants, Shiny Toy Guns, The Stills, Snowden, Tapes 'n Tapes, Pattern is Movement, MC Chris, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Del The Funky Homosapien and many more.
