Launch Control's latest single, "Science Friction," is fresh from a punk band that knows how to connect with their audience. This track delivers an energetic burst of skate-punk vibes, packed into just under a few minutes of intense sound.
With a spirit that challenges outdated beliefs and oppressive systems, this music showcases a band that has honed their anger, sound, and lyrics to be even more impactful. If their past music were warnings, "Science Friction" is a full-on explosion of sound and energy. The music features dynamic drumming from Seb Olward and sharp guitar riffs from Alex J Steer, creating a thrilling mix of excitement and power. While it nods to classic skate-punk influences, it also feels fresh and relevant to today's issues. Imagine the passion of early Anti-Flag combined with the clever critiques of Bad Religion but with Launch Control's unique edge. Frontman Lee Switzer-Woolf sums up the song's message and critiques our current struggles with misinformation and conspiracy theories. Still, instead of simply lecturing, Launch Control invites listeners to fight back using the power of music and their voices.
With top-notch mixing by Alex J Steer and mastering by the well-known Dave Chang, "Science Friction" stands out with clear sound and relentless energy. It captures the band's signature intensity and purpose. Launch Control has always been upfront about its views, and in "Science Friction," it amplifies its message like a megaphone on a rocket. This is punk music that is alive, purposeful, incredibly smart, fast-paced, and thought-provoking.
