No Motiv is a damned awesome emocore band. Allmusic.com says "they specialize in the sort of personal introspection and emotional catharsis that defines the subgenre..." I couldn't say it much better than that. Dark and Lovely! Sort of a darker MxPx, similar to Alkaline Trio. The first time I heard The Waiting Hurt I fell in love with this band. I got "And the Sadness Prevails" and it didn't disappoint. The whole thing is great.
