Listen to some Idle Faction right now!
"Get up and do something before you die."
Idle Faction began six years ago in the form of five fresh-faced youngsters, bashing pots and coaxing maximum noise from their tiny practise amps!
The band draw their main influences from mid-to-late 90's hardcore and metal. Their trademark sonic signature includes driving repetitive drums, intricate bottom-heavy bass, extended chords and soaring melodic guitar, and powerfully intense chromatic vocal stylings.
Songs by Idle Faction often swell and ebb between interleaving layers of melody and repetitive, aggressive machine-gun riffage. A trademark attribute is their linear progression from one riff to the next, rather than the traditional Verse/Chorus structure; it's not unusual to be taken on a journey of five or six parts to a song, with returning themes and cadences not unlike romantic-period classical music.
One thing is for sure - if you're listening to a pretty, complex melodic part of an Idle Faction song, very soon the band will be playing something intensely hardcore, and you'll be wondering where the transition was. ;-)
Lyrical subject matter typically involves current issues, something that you as the listener can connect with. With the amount of disturbing things wrong with our world today, it's hardly surprising that the band has written songs about such subjects as the war on Iraq, the non-bliss of non-ignorance, pop music, and the paradoxical behaviour of multi-national corporations...
- If you change yourself, you've changed the world.
