“Reality Show” (Official Short Film) has gotten quite an overwhelming positive response from music blogs and reviewers.  Here are some of the highlights: 

"Reality Show" Music Video

“Motihari Brigade have nailed it with this one. Absolutely moving.”  TJPL News and Reviews

“Get ready for an extraordinary musical experience that will leave you inspired and yearning for more.” Elnews

“Motihari Brigade’s music video ‘Reality Show’ serves as a potent reminder of the importance of critical thinking and resisting the forces that attempt to manipulate human consciousness.”  Hail Tunes 

“It successfully presents a genre-merging soundscape that is as refreshingly original as it is super catchy.”  Music Arena GH

“…very well developed philosophical and social themes . . . . the result is spectacular, where the music is the soundtrack to a video that explores the struggle to perceive reality amid the onslaught of the corporate state’s technological dystopian narrative control . . . . Technically, the video has a beautiful photograph and very well taken shots . . . . Sensational.”  Music For All (Brazil)

“Rich in themes and masterfully penned down songwriting this song carries the Orwellian theme that its parent album “Algorithm & Blues” propagates. With strong allegories and messaging about how difficult it has become to perceive reality through dystopian corporate messaging, this song has an urgent and macabre message to give you about how our minds are being influenced through our media. This dark tone is juxtaposed against a soundscape that has all the charm and whimsy of bombastic reality TV. A perfect message with a strong artistic vision, “Reality Show” is a true work of art!”  Lost In The Manor 

Exclusive Interview: “Motihari Brigade On The Making Of Reality Show”  Punk Head

“…a catchy new tune that features powerful vocal work over a dynamic and well-produced instrumental.”  Tape Ranger

“Ready to become an anthem, ‘Reality Show’ invites everyone to join in a collective chant. Let yourself be carried away by this captivating work that embodies musical diversity.” Indie Chronique 

“’Reality Show’ is a reggae infused power-pop jam about society’s fading grip on reality . . . . an awakening reggae hit and the perfect addition to any indie playlist.”  Senocular Media 

“The reggae/funk infused soul rock track is very enjoyable and reminiscent of rebellious precursors like Bowie, Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, among others.” Good Music Radar

“’Reality Show’” and its accompanying music video offers a compelling and thoroughly enjoyable experience from creatives who have a unique perspective and the musicianship prowess to deliver their sonic vision in a highly engaging fashion.”  Plastic Magazine

“Motihari Brigade, through their masterful artistry, impassionedly implores us to remain ever-vigilant, steadfastly retain our capacity to think critically, and steadfastly resist the siren call of manufactured realities.”  Dulaxi

“Motihari Brigade a réussi à créer un équilibre entre les paroles et les sonorités entrainantes, ce qui rend ce titre à la fois puissant et accrocheur.”  Iggy Magazine 

“This impressive audio-video project really enhance Motihari Brigade’s own philosophy, augmenting its relatability and making sure the group can connect to a wider audience.”  Mesmerized 

“…a cinematic visual story that makes us feel even more inside the track, in addition to reflecting even more on the theme.”  Os Garatos De Liverpool (Brazil) 

“An interesting short film unfolds before our senses, incorporating the nuances of the message in question, which, in turn, reflects on the massive technological control that increasingly hides the dystopian reality that awaits us in the future.”  Roadie Music 

“Motihari Brigade’s collaboration with Jovana Tomasevic has resulted in a captivating visual experience that aligns seamlessly with the band’s artistic expression and social commentary.”  Musical Road

The critics are buzzing about the new album by Motihari Brigade “Power From Below” (Release date: 1/28/20) 

“Power from Below has got critics talking quite a bit this January – and for good reason” writes Mindy McCall, IndiePulse Music 

Motihari Brigade “…distinguish their sound as being awfully close to a one of a kind product in 2020 . . . This is a group that is very much onto something smart and original in the most important of ways…”

Garth Thomas writes in the Hollywood Digest “…there’s scarcely a moment in Motihari Brigade’s first studio album Power From Below where we aren’t feeling the crushing intensity of a band playing at full power…”

Nicole Killian writes in MobYorkCity “Motihari Brigade doesn’t waste any time getting right down to the business of rocking with a cool, confident demeanor . . . and though this initial burst of aural lightning is quite captivating to put it mildly, it’s only a taste of what the band has in store for all who press on in this tracklist.” 

“…after giving it some time and attention, I think that it absolutely lives up to the buzz surrounding its release and then some.”

Read the review in MobYorkCity

“An extremely powerful listen that captures the intensity that is often prevalent in today’s turbulent world, Motihari Brigade certainly contains a retro spirit, but are also very modern in their fiery approach.  Power From Below is certainly thinking person’s music, and should be required listening in 2020″ writes Tom Haugen in Take Effect. 

Read the review in Take Effect

“Perhaps at no time since the turbulent era of the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon has the country needed a genuine cry to raise collective voices and demand greater accountability for those in power, and Motihari Brigade brings this call to fruition through 1960s and 70s blues, funk, ska, and rock riffs with some horns thrown in for good measure. . . . This is revolutionary rock for a new era of revolutionaries.”

“Rock and Roll Thoughtcrime.  Well I am all for that! This band puts out some incredible straight up rock and roll…”

Read the review in Rock At Night

“This record rocks with excellent lead guitar work, saxophones, organs, you name it, it’s all right here.  If it does not wake you up, I can’t imagine what will.  Congratulations Motihari Brigade, you have joined the ranks with The Clash, Rage Against The Machine, and so many others.”  

Read the review at Clouzine – Contemporary Music Magazine, #19, p. 27. 

“If anyone needs extra motivation for another five years of the Tories, Motihari Brigade will put your marching boots on in Power from Below.  This is an album that needs playing so the streets feel the vibrations… to remind us that unity is the only way forward.” Faye Lockett, Socialist Review

“High energy guitar heavy songs with boisterous revolutionary themes.” Chris Sturr, Dollars & Sense May/June 2020.

En Francais: 

“Superbe songwriting, et interprétation au cordeau : précise, précieuse, tendue… juste quoi. Equilibrée entre force, rage contenue et adéquation avec ces mid tempos ouvragées, avec une instrumentation vaste, qui rappel ces grands disques de Rock fait avec un peu de moyens et beaucoup d’ambition dans les orgueilleuses années 70 ! . . . Vraiment quelle superbe découverte !”
