Based out of the northeastern Pennsylvania town of Hazleton, The Movement is geared up and ready to make a lasting impact on the music industry. Their unique sound has taken a well-rounded influence from several of the biggest pop artists including: Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Justice, Britney Spears, 3OH!3, Katy Perry, and Daft Punk.
Brothers Brendan Gerhart (Vocals) and Brooke Gerhart (Drums) joined by Joseph Acor (Guitar) and Tim Jenkins (Keyboards, Programming) began preparation for The Movement in September of 2008 after disbanding their previous band. “We had been working together and touring for over 2 years. Although we did learn how to work efficiently as a team, we funneled ourselves into a closed mindset and a ‘confused’ sound. We knew everything needed to be focused,” says singer Brendan.
After carefully studying several of the biggest songs of the past and present, they began writing new music and headed to Minneapolis to record with producers Dane and Jordan Schmidt (Motion City Soundtrack, Sing It Loud, All Time Low, Quietdrive). While recording, they brought in singer/song writer and member of Owl City, Breanne Düren to feature guest vocals and grace the track “Bring Back the Sun” with a female voice.
After all their preparation, they launched The Movement in late January of 2009, hitting the digital and live scene.
In November of 2009, The Movement headed to Atlanta, GA where they worked with producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount (Cartel, Mayday Parade, Usher, Hit the Lights, Jimmy Eat World, Young and Divine) on their two upcoming singles “Girls Night Out” and “Curiosity”.
Poised and ready for a long career of bright lights, swinging hips, and catchy hooks, The Movement is staying focused and continually raising the bar.
