Alternative Rock from Movment

Irish alternative rock band MOVMENT, comprised of Martin and Kevin Kelly, have carved out their own sound in the alternative rock and post-punk world, with two albums and an EP in their catalogue so far. More dark than light, more strong than weak, their sonic vision results in an aesthetic that wholly more direct.

Their sophomore full-length release TRANSFORMATION explores the divergence in society, focusing on themes such as informational overload and the schisms that appear from a plethora of differing opinions, viewpoints and messages, with the title alluding to the fact that a change is needed.

Though the band holds the traditional mix of guitar and bass of rock music at their core, they don’t shy away from adding electronic instrumentation to their sound to add a fresh sense of originality.

The third single from the album, “We All Must Go”, features their trademark rhythmic dark rock blast carried forward by their swaggering vocal work. Accompanying the single is a music video which as a dystopian visual pairing to the sound and meaning of the song.

Commenting to the context for the track, they reveal it’s, “an inquest into the journey to the Big Black River that awaits us… Where it’s going, nobody knows.”
