Ladies And Gentlemen.... This Is a Hostage
Situation!
The MOLOTOV, a Punk/Rap/Metal/Electronica outfit with a diverse hybrid sound, confrontational lyrics and art/video/visuals, combine various musical styles to create a unique sound and an entertaining, if somewhere distrubing, live show.
Mixing machine-gun style rap/punk lines with strong melodic female vocals, infectious guitar & bass riffs and samples with rock, punk, techno, metal & breakbeat drums, The MOLOTOV create an original, energetic and thought provoking fusion of styles with their personal & socio/political lyrics. As well as their own originals, their live sets also include their own distinct cover versions of several well known songs: Prodigy’s BREATHE, RATM's Guerrilla Radio, etc.
Their new "Last Ri†es 4 Capitali$m"
DEMO is the first full band effort from The MOLOTOV, the first CD, “Limited
Sedition” being primarily a solo project by SCART.
"Last Ri†es 4 Capitali$m"
features the rythym/lead guitar & vocals of SCART, the bass guitar & back up
vocals of Matt & the vocals of KT (Caitlin Solca) who’s styles range from delicate
harmonies through to Riot Grrl attacks. It’s songs vary from the soft sounds
of “Mother” with KT’s soft melodies & SCART’s
pulled back spoken word, to the pumping grooves & growling bass of “FREE?”,
the accoustic rap/rock anthem of “In The RED”,
the upbeat punk styles of “TOYTOWN” & “CORPOCRACY’,
through to their full throttle 2009 rendition of “Go
Back To Sleep” with it’s pounding riffs & assaulting lyrics and chant.
Their new drummer Stu, who joined near the end of the demos completion, adds
to the bands dynamics, fills out & tightens their sound and brings his own style
& influnces which can be heard in their live sound and on future recordings.
The "Last Ri†es 4 Capitali$m" & “Limited
Sedition” Demo CD’s are both available for $15 Australia ($11 US, 7.5

“These are not theories but anthems, anthems not just of
outrage but of the joy that lives & prevails under the catastrophic times we
live in. Is it punk, new wave, metal, rock, pop, hip hop or all of the above?“—

These apathetic times desperately need more protest songs, and more young people
questioning the BS these governments serve up.” - Liz Hall-Downs
