Motivation was a short-lived band formed in Manchester, England, c. 1981 by bassist and probably leader Steve Garvey, guitarist Dave Rowbotham, drummer Snuff and vocalist Dave Price. Garvey was former Buzzcocks, Teardrops and Bok Bok member, while Rowbotham was previously in The Durutti Column and then in The Mothmen. The band was formed by Garvey after Buzzcocks and Teardrops dissolved the same year, in 1980. They probably were managed by Richard Boon, former Buzzcocks manager.

- Motivation was a short-lived band formed in Manchester, England, c. 1981 by bassist and probably leader Steve Garvey, guitarist Dave Rowbotham, drummer Snuff and vocalist Dave Price. Garvey was former Buzzcocks, Teardrops and Bok Bok member, while Rowbotham was previously in The Durutti Column and then in The Mothmen. The band was formed by Garvey after Buzzcocks and Teardrops dissolved the same year, in 1980. They probably were managed by Richard Boon, former Buzzcocks manager. Boon claimed in an interview at the time, Motivation sounded like 1976 bands, which indicated the group sounded like pre-punk formations or the first punk bands. Andy Hieke and Colin Robinson from Night Visitors were their sound engineers. By 1983, Garvey (who was playing with Blue Orchids, in parallel with Motivation) and Price moved to New York around 1983, but the band continued, with Garvey as the known only remaining member, The band was forced to change their name to Shy Talk and was signed to Columbia records in the U.S. , releasing one album, Shy Talk, in 1985. The album was produced by Procol Harum's Pete Solley. At this time the line up consisted of Dave Price (vocals), Michael Nehra (guitars), Phil Garmyn (bass), David Bravo (keyboards) and John Morelli (drums). Steve Garvey is thanked in the album credits but did not perform on the album. Garvey reformed Buzzcocks in 1989 but quit in 1992 due to health problems, while one year ago, Rowbotham, who passed in the 1980s as a session musician in Factory Records, was killed. Snuff joined Distant Cousins in the late 1980s.
