The Molotov

Ladies And Gentlemen, This Is a Hostage Situation!

The MOLOTOV, a Punk/Rap/Electronic 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 soft melodic female vocals, infectious guitar rythyms and samples with rock, punk, techno and breakbeat drums n’ bass, The MOLOTOV create an original, energetic and thought provoking fusion of styles. As well as their own originals, their live sets also include their own distinct cover versions of several well known songs: Prodigy’s BREATHE, Underneath The Radar, Guerilla Radio, Holiday In Cambodia, etc.

While the currently available older tracks only feature the lead vocalist SCART, they give the listener an idea of where the band are headed. Be sure to see them live and check out the samples on this page.

Reviewers have said:

“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?“— Kirpal Gordon, editor of Unlikely Stories

About the LIMITED SEDITION DEMO CD:
The CD (demo), "Limited Sedition by The Molotov, is an angry, charged, and at times darkly humourous collection of seven songs. The music is a hybrid fusion of industrial, rap, hardcore punk/metal guitar riffs, breakbeat & pumping techno, while the lyrics are explicit, confrontational and pull no punches.
With songs like "Democracy The Brand, The Common (I got more in common, with the people youre bombin, than I do, with you), Spit Molotovs, Revolution Hey-Ho (Howard the Coward) and Go Back To Sleep, The Molotov comment on the world, those who rule and control it, and on what that means for the rest of us.
Similar to Rage Against The Machine, Anti-Flag and Public Enemy in their unashamedly anti-corporate and pro People Power stance, The Molotov deliver music and words straight from the heart. The writer, lyricist and guitarist, scart (shane carter) blends riffs, beats and styles, new and old, in his songwriting to create a unique, catchy and powerful sound that well suits the hard-edged lyrics.
Limited Sedition is the first collection of songs by The Molotov and they are looking for support to take their work into a studio. They welcome any enquiries regarding gigs.
The 7 track demo "LIMITED SEDITION" is available for $5 dollars (+$3 for postage and handling) by contacting Scart.
