Momentum - Whetting Occam's Razor

 listen to Culture by Momentum

for argument's sake, I will not namedrop any of this band's members past musical projects. needless to say, it would be reason enough to take note. altough, unlike the discussions around this band favors, it wouldn't be 100% fair to deny this has influences from those respective bands' styles and genres. Momentum (facebook) plays dark hardcore punk with melodic powerchord-driven guitars and pumping, usually d-beat, drum patterns. the lyrics are fairly straight-forward but very creative and , together with spoken-word samples, they hover around "the ideals of Carl Sagan and other luminary thinkers, to forward atheism, animal rights and feminist politics". And one sample of the movie Home Alone, followed by the catchiest punk rock song played in their signature style. good fun.
