The Movement - Put the Lights On (2012), German shows

I've heard the band name The Movement a few times in recent years, but being 6,000 miles away, didn't hear it enough to listen closely. But tonight, I'm hearing a good chunk of the band's songs from their 2012 LP Fools Like You and it's flooring me.

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". A great combination of urgent rhythms, snappy guitars, killer bass and awesome, fast drums, it's like listening to a mix of The Jam and Joe Jackson (rock) Band fronted by Lemmy - it's a pretty fierce combination.

At The Movement website, their manifesto reads:
"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."
