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…”

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.”

“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.

“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.”

“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.”

“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 !”
