Alternative-rock band MOVEMENTS' debut album Feel Something (Fearless Records) has earned a top ten spot on Billboard's Top New Artist Albums Chart, landing at #2. Their highly praised new album was released on October 20th, receiving critical acclaim from Culture Collide, OC Weekly, and Alternative Press.

Billboard said Colorblind, the first single off the album, " [is] a cohesive vision of muscular rock energy and melodic songcraft -- and plenty of earworm-worthy hooks." In their review of the album, Alternative Press raved, "Feel Something has a slicker production job than anything Movements have put their name to before, but that hasn't damaged the emotional heft of their tunes."

Since Feel Something's release, the band has attained the #2 spot on Billboard's Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) Chart, beating out bands like Greta Van Fleet, John Carpenter, I the Mighty, and Bella Fleck & Abigail.

In addition, MOVEMENTS' placed on various other Billboard charts, including #45 Top Current Albums, #190 Billboard 200, #6 Current Alternative Albums, #14 Current Rock Albums, #17 LP Vinyl Albums, #28 Top Internet (D2C - MerchNow), #31 Current Digital Albums, #36 Overall Digital Albums and #59 Current Physical Albums.

MOVEMENTS' is currently on tour across North America with Knuckle Puck. Full tour dates are listed below.

Music and emotion share a timeless physiological, psychological, and spiritual bond. A chord, a melody, or a lyric can lift spirits and inspire. Movements achieve that sort of reaction on their full-length debut, Feel Something [Fearless Records]. The Southern California quartet-Patrick Miranda [vocals], Ira George [guitar], Spencer York [drums], and Austin Cressey [bass]-immediately connect by opening up. That musical empathy quietly launched Movements on an upward trajectory in 2015. Formed by longtime friends, the group landed a deal with Fearless Records after just one local gig. Produced by Will Yip [Tigers Jaw, Title Fight, Turnover, Citizen], their debut EP, Outgrown Things, became a fan favorite. Acclaimed by the likes of Alternative Press and New Noise Magazine, songs like "Nineteen" and "Kept" each respectively amassed over 800K Spotify streams and counting as they have toured nonstop. Along the way, the boys started working on what would become Feel Something before returning to the studio with Yip in February 2017. In the sessions, their signature style crystallized and coalesced. Ultimately, Movements bring emotion to life in each note.
