West Michigan’s Motion Sick has joined forces with PNWK Records. The four-piece band draws inspiration from bands like blink-182, Neck Deep, and The Story So Far, and navigates life’s ups and downs with powerful guitar riffs and dynamic drumming.

Founded by guitarist and vocalist Sam Stafford in 2022, Motion Sick began with their debut EP Where Strangers Once Slept. Bassist Sam Hogan joined for their follow-up EP Falling Behind. With the recent addition of drummer Ben Schenkel and guitarist Michael Moore, the band has entered a new era with their debut album, What It Feels Like To Be Alive. Building on their previous work, their latest release explores the challenge of maintaining a positive outlook on life’s difficulties while staying true to oneself.
