The Movement
WE as a modern rock group, can only inspire and encourage people to resist.
There’s a new and constantly growing generation of young kids interested in political questions, expressing deep fundamental critic and rejection of the global effects of capitalism and its mechanisms of exploitation, war and oppression – young people searching for truth and enlightenment in times of total manipulation, lie and darkness.
This Band is dedicated to all of them.
The world is still so young, and there is still so much to come.
The Movement is made for you!
Enjoy the music loud!
Without feeling guilty and with out being wrong, you deserved it!
THE MOVEMENT is a power-trio from Copenhagen/DK. They play mod-rock! Their sound is influenced by The Jam, The Who and The Clash. The Movement is a well dressed band who always wears suits, they know the old mod-slogan:
“Clean Living Under Difficult Circumstances”
There are two interpretations of the groups name “Movement”:
MOVING TO MUSIC
The Movement is a high energetic band. They really kick off on stage and people can’t stand still, they just have to move. It’s pretty simple and very basic: They are a great live band and they got a unique power pointed directly at the audience.
POLITICAL MOVEMENT
The Movement is strongly committed to serve the working class. The main goal is to encourage young people to resist and question everything. In that matter The Clash has been a great influence: “Politics and poetry”. Their influences range from Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Marx to Joe Strummer and Paul Weller

TOP BUZZER
“Top Buzzer play pop-punk in a style that is so fresh and individual. You might just love them.” – Kerrang! www.topbuzzer.co.ukBiografieThe punk pop new wave powerhouse that are Top Buzzer have been making a racket since 2011. Within weeks of their first rehearsal, this London based troop took one look at the ashes of the music industry and set up their own record label, Back2Forward Records, and some six weeks later released their debut release, The Hands Up EP. This DIY ethos and sheer dedication saw the band tour incessantly. Following their first US tour and appearance at SXSW, the band recorded their debut album „Outside Is A World“ as soon as they returned home. This was eventually mixed by Kennan Keating (Nine Inch Nails, Blondie, Alan Vega) who the band met while the Brits were slogging it out on the road Stateside. The New Yorker was blown away by the energy on their self recorded debut and over a pint and a handshake in Brooklyn, this knob twiddling veteran insisted that the band not change their DIY approach but offered to do the final mixing honours. Back on home turf, the album received great press from the likes of Kerrang, Rock Sound and Big Cheese to name but a few. Their debut single “Remission” taken from the album had plays on Kerrang, Q Radio and BBC Introducing – not bad for an independent debut release by a DIY band. The video for the track was also aired on Scuzz TV. In tandem, radio stations in the US picked up on the band’s work including KROQ and Marky Ramone’s Punk Rock Blitzkrieg show. Shortly afterwards, their track „You’re So Good You’re Great“ made it to number 2 on the Strummerville (Joe Strummer’s charity) download chart as well as the band grabbing the attention of Amazing Radio’s Rock Show. 2012 saw the release of „Rebel On The Underground – A Tribute To X-Ray Spex“ – a compilation in aid of the US charity Sweet Relief in which the band were one of only two acts on the album not to be from the States. As well as this leading to support slots with Baddies and ska punk legends Goldfinger, this Buzzed-up Poly Styrene classic gained the band rotation on one of Japan’s largest radio stations, Inter FM, as well as uber DJ legend, Rodney Bingenheimer’s Rodney On The Roq show in LA. Summer 2013 sees the band as busy as ever with the release of The Sprollie EP and European shows with Californian legends Face To Face and CH3 culminating in a home coming appearance at the world renown Rebellion Festival.
