From Monument To Masses

This band is good. Combining politically inspired samples with well-crafted rocking melodies, they create an unique sound that pretends to revolutionize the modern (post) rock music. If they'll succeed is to be seen, but the potential is there. Their music is kind of Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor, but in the same time it's very different and specific.

This is what they say about themselves:

From Monument to Masses is complex and hypnotic post-punk engineered to act as a revolutionary cultural force in service of the People. The band, the sampled sounds, and the music itself call for international Peoples' histories to be revisited and for any provoked indignation to be acted upon. Highly influenced by the likes of Fugazi to Tortoise, Afrika Bambata to DJ Shadow, Don Caballero to Godspeed You Black Emperor, FMTM challenges the audience with epic compositions that abandon conventional song structure. Listen, question, act, repeat.

Note that I'll be away (in France) rest of this week and will not post. Speaking about France, I watched yesterday "Taratata" show on France 4 channel, with live performances from James Blunt and KT Tunstall. James played "You're Beautiful" and cover of Pixies song "Where Is My Mind". KT was pretty amazing covering Jackson Five. Unfortunately I didn't record any of it. Since I'll not post in the next days, today's bonus section will be extended :) Enjoy!
