The band has built up a rabid following playing way too many shows to count during the last six years, with bands like Love Is All, Vivian Girls, Tyvek, Japanther, The Apples In Stereo, Crystal Stilts, and many others. They've been championed in Brooklyn Vegan, Dusted, Pitchfork, and pretty much every place where savvy music fans trade notes about the newest singles. Using reverb as a weapon, caUSE co-MOTION! has honed their hyperactive sound into a formidable DIY pop lexicon. Dig their new language.

It's Time! neatly summarizes the history of caUSE co-MOTION! so far--a blast of pure pop energy and DIY sincerity for these all-too-knowing and ironic times. The fourteen songs race by in barely over twenty minutes, the compressed rush of melody, tunes, and crash-bang energy perfectly mirroring the hormonal frenzy of adolescence and young adulthood. The eagerness to communicate, if only for two minutes at a time. Classics like "This Time Next Year" and "Take a Look" have become mix-tape staples, and are joined by more recent missives like "Say What You Feel" and "Cry For Attention" in the canon of crash-pop. One cannot listen to tunes like these and not get up and dance, clap, and sing along. Go ahead, nobody is watching. We won't tell.

"caUSE co-MOTION! make frantic guitar rock sound just so pleasant. These guys have the goods to stick around for a while."
--Oh My Rockness

"... here are four guys doing it for themselves and their friends and for history. Promoting sweet times and smiles and togetherness should be on more bands' agendas."
--Dusted

When Will It Finally End?
Who's Gonna Care?
I Lie Awake
You Don't Say
Cry For Attention

Like their previous records, I Lie Awake is produced to crash-boom-bang perfection by Tim Barnes (Rogers Sisters, Sonic Youth). A blazing chaos of jangle, clatter, and thump - busted strings and broken hearts. Hummable tunes to scratch that TVPs/Pastels/Comet Gain itch, with more than a dash of 14 Iced Bears and Desperate Bicycles in there too. Three doses of pure DIY pop pleasure, straight from the garage to your ears, feet and heart.

caUSE co-MOTION! have been playing at gigs and parties around NYC and across the country since 2002, sharing stages with folks like Love Is All, Tyvek and Vivian Girls while developing their unique sound and a rabid, enthusiastic group of fans. I Lie Awake might be their most concentrated blast yet, and is an ideal taster for the compilation CD featuring all of the bands singles, due out on Slumberland later this fall.
