“Rock-n-Roll Thoughtcrime”
for independent minds…
Algorithm & Blues
The title track from Motihari Brigade’s 2022 album release “Algorithm & Blues” raucously competes for any remaining crumbs of independent attention span still left available that may have slipped past the onslaught from big-tech dominated media filters. Vibrato electric guitars drive this hyper-caffeinated exploration of the current dystopian dilemma. “Algorithm & Blues” is a rock-n-roll thoughtcrime celebration of the post-modern mass-formation psychological crisis we are all now busily sharing on social media. Lyrics describe a “consciousness of memes” vying to define the prevailing narrative of today’s virtual reality hysteria – “the illusion of freewill, swallowing the pill.” The song ends with a nod to rock music’s history of cultural defiance – “meanwhile I’m still thinking.”
Reality Show
This song and accompanying official short film explores the struggle to perceive reality amidst the onslaught of corporate-state technological dystopian narrative control. Are we just watching shadows of firelight projected on the wall of the cave and mistaking the show for reality? That’s ridiculous. Oh dear, we are afraid that you have become an enemy of the state and no longer tolerable in polite society. How unfortunate. Click here to apologize. Click here to drink the hemlock.
The Party Is Over
Red wine spills from a shattered glass of elegant stemware – symbolizing the decadent party that is currently winding down while a new generation seeks its place in a diminished world. Motihari Brigade’s “The Party Is Over” offers a Dylan-esque tour d’horizon as the world slow dances into burning chaos. Will the great disintegration clear the way for something new to rise from the ashes? Perhaps not. We’ll see. The “party” may be over, but the groove is just getting started with this post-glam “no alternative rock” neo-classic.
Rock-n-Roll Thoughtcrime
Motihari Brigade’s theme song “Rock-N-Roll Thoughtcrime” encourages listeners to “Answer the question. Question the answer. Let your light shine’ – in the hope that in these strange days an unlikely band of critical thinkers may yet be inspired to chart an independent course and escape zombie dystopia. The idea is half the battle.
Identify Theft
Andy Warhol famously said everybody gets their fifteen minutes of fame. Updated for the current moment it’s now: “Everybody gets to point the hand of blame. Everybody gets their fifteen minutes of shame.” Is there a common shared humanity In the midst of all this virtual connectedness? Listen and follow – click, click, wink, wink.
Street Fighting Man
Motihari Brigade flogs the rebellious spirit of 1968 Into continued service with their cover version of the Rolling Stone’s classic “Street Fighting Man.” Revolution rock updated for the compost modern age.
Be Free
Psychedelic “Agit-pop” alienation rock. Parents. Teachers. Authority figures. Why can’t they just leave us alone? A timeless theme.
Minefields & Downfalls
A coming of age ballad. We all explore new territory incognito and eventually come of age – some more easily than others. No matter where you currently find yourself along the path, here’s to a celebration of the journey thus far. We’re glad to see that you’ve made it.
Disintegration Blues
“Agit-pop”seeking a genuine human connection. Picture a leather-clad Socrates taking a musical selfie while guzzling down the hemlock.
We Are The Germs
Motihari Brigade’s sci-fi punk rock song imagines the cartoon microscopic war going on right now within your diseased immune system. Frank Zappa meets Alvin and the Chipmunks to implement this rock-n-roll medical invasion comedic fantasy.
