Los Angeles-based Motive Black is the creative phoenix born of singer Elana Justin's pain, tenacity, and resilience.

The New York raised rocker pulled up roots in 2018 and moved to the West Coast for a fresh perspective in her life and art. This would ultimately lead to dynamic new relationships and the formation of Motive Black.

Elana connected with Grammy-winning producer Nick Rowe who has worked with everyone from Vampire Weekend and Lamb of God to Madonna and Snoop Dogg. The duo wrote all the tracks for the band's upcoming debut EP due out later this year.

Broken is the first single released off the album. "Broken is about the fight I had internally that allowed me to break down the walls I'd built up around my heart for protection. By being willing to take a chance and open myself up again, I came back to being myself" said Elana.

BROKEN is the title of the brand new album from St. Louis, Missouri, Alternative Rock band Greek Fire. It's released today, July 12, via WITHYN Records, after quite some troubles, due to pledgemusic.com, the site that Greek Fire did their album pre-order with, suspended operations.

"PledgeMusic failures... when they went down caught us all off guard and by surprise. Artists And Fans alike got really screwed. It took a lot of money, time and effort from us that we can't get back. BUT, getting our music to you was and is the most important thing. That being said; as soon as that happened we put our nose to the grindstone to make a way to get you new music as fast as possible. So here it is" said the band, adding "BROKEN is for anyone who has been crushed. It's for everyone that has truly been to the bottom. This is a record for the broken-hearted. For anyone that has been to the deepest valleys of pain all the while knowing that you can AND WILL climb to an even higher mountain than before. BROKEN is so special to us. We are BROKEN as we mourn the loss of our dear friend, producer and engineer Matthew Amelung. He has been truly instrumental in everything Greek Fire and we miss him more than words can describe."

BROKEN is an totally awesome album of modern alternative rock, full of energy, hooks and attitude: stream it now on Spotify and watch the video for the new single I Do clicking on the image.

"We are thrilled to share so many songs with our incredible Greek Fire Family and the rest of the world!" said the band, adding "Orientation is fun, energetic, riffy, soaring, and thrilling. It's a perfect Greek Fire reintroduction to the world. We're following it with our part 2 in a series of releases. Broken is an emotional segue between Lost and Found and explores so many emotions. In the end, it sees the light at the end of the tunnel. After being knocked down, counted out, hurt and lonely, we saw the light and came out of the rain. That's what this record is about. Finding ourselves in it all."

Orientation is a stadium-ready alternative rock EP with 5 awesome, hook-filled tracks that you simply can't miss: stream it right now on Spotify.
