THANKS TO "BLACK VELVET" MAGAZINE (USA) FOR THE MOA REVIEW...

'Influences - Noise! - Sounds like - an explosion!', says the March of Anger MySpace page. March of Anger are not for the faint of heart that’s for sure. That said, they're easily likeable as their songs contain catchy beats and infectious riffs. The five piece band based in London do have an aggressive element to their sound. Their punk rock also features a futuristic industrial / electro vibe. Jamie on vocals means business when he blisteringly sneers the lyrics. Any band that adds a sampled quote to the start of a song gets the thumbs up from us. They are influenced by The Buzzcocks, Metallica, The Stranglers, Joy Division and Motorhead. (they didn't mention Kraftwerk !)
Like those bands, March of Anger are not new kids on the block and their mature worldly bodies have been around for a while - the band were originally around in the early 90's, although disbanded in 93. Their experience definitely shows in the recording of this four track c.d. though, with it being a high quality recording. Apparently the band barely get along with each other and seldom gig - so chances are, they may never achieve a high level of success despite the promising music laid down on this c.d. It's a shame - but if you yourself are partial to sonically powerful punk with a tribal industrial tinge, this c.d. should keep you company for many a night.

 

 

THANKS TO MARTIN WELZEN FROM "MASS MOVEMENT" MAGAZINE...

It’s not easy for a band having a keyboard player in its line up at the end of this decade. There’s always that comparison to bands like InnerPartySystem or Enter Shikari waiting around the corner. Well, March of Anger have NOTHING in common with them. If anything, these guys have stepped back in time blending Killing Joke with Ministry. There’s that same eerie, atmospheric feel, placed on top of a rather monotonous, industrial foundation. Every message, about war and injustice, seems to be backed up by a pile driver forcing the ideas of MOA into your unwilling brain. I’ve got the scars to prove it, and am now a devoted follower of these Londoners. Punk needs a new futuristic face and these fellows are it. Dr Who with a mohawk, inducing a moshpit in the Tardis.

MARCH OF ANGER'S NEW EP REVIEWED BY THE ORGAN FANZINE!

Brooding big Killing Joke of a thing, yelling at a thousand gods in that defiantly angry way of Killing Joke or maybe Faith No More - no mere clones though, they're doing it their way, their on bite on things. Strong stuff - heavy, powerful, claustrophobic, a sound to drown in - full, dark, impressive old school brooding, boiling, angry, full-bodied drive from South London. Four uncompromising tracks, not a hint of a compromise, a full on global attack and a rather good four track EP.
