There is a lot of mystery surrounding the band Movment. Coming from Mullingar in Ireland, they are four musicians, Martin Kelly (vocals, drums, words), Kevin Kelly (guitars, bass, keyboards, synths, programming, words), Mark Kelly (bass guitar) and Isabella Rowden Kelly (guitar) and Violence is their latest single, released on 18/11/2022.

An alternative / post-punk / grunge band, guitars and bass are at the heart of their sound but there is also an electronic element that plays a big part too.

The track starts off slowly and quietly with some soft guitar work and drumming before the heavy riffs kick on and the song builds in intensity and sound. There is an effective use of pace changes throughout the track creating peaks and troughs that really pull the listener in.

Distortion plays a noticeably big part in this track, both of the guitars and of the vocals, and this gives the song a very anti-establishment feel to it. There seems to be a lot of angst in the lyrics, and this spills over into the fuzziness of the music, which is both aggressive and angry.

I really liked this track, and I am checking out the band’s social media pages to discover more from them.
