Motihari Brigade - Power From Below (2020)

Motihari Brigade creates high-energy rock-n-roll thoughtcrime as a revolutionary beacon for those seeking their lost tribe.

Rock-n-roll began as an expression of youth rebellion. Beautiful bands of outcasts, renegades, and radicals claimed the music as their voice to express ideals of independent human resistance.

But there was always the music industry - plastic robot manufactured culture to distract and placate the masses. Many were hypnotized by the artificial programming flooding their tele-screens.

They may call the tune, but we need not consume what we are fed. We can create our own rock-n-roll resistance.

The new album Power From Below evokes the encouraging electric sound of “Bernie Sanders meets Helter Skelter.” Motihari Brigade are a voice in the wilderness calling “We are on our own, but not alone” - word’s from the song Waiting For The Revolution and also inscribed on the album’s cover art.

Motihari Brigade offers an Orwell-inspired rock-n-roll thoughtcrime alternative to the official programming overwhelming our tele-screens. “Turn off and tune out the machine” the title track implores. The song Talking To Crazy, also an animated video, highlights the band’s hopeful blend of humor and cynicism.

U.K. born singer and lead guitar player Eric Winston wrote eight of the album’s eleven tracks, with three covers included as homage to the revolution rock tradition.
