Motihari Brigade returns with Problematic, an ambitious rock album that combines energetic guitar-driven music with thought-provoking social commentary. Released on George Orwell’s birthday, the band’s third full-length record embraces the rebellious spirit of classic rock while encouraging listeners to question accepted narratives and think independently. Built around Eric Winston’s songwriting and the group’s self-described philosophy of “Rock-n-Roll Thoughtcrime,” Problematic delivers an engaging blend of powerful riffs, memorable hooks, and bold thematic ambition.
Throughout the album, Motihari Brigade explores subjects including censorship, artificial intelligence, propaganda, militarism, and the influence of modern technology on everyday life. Songs such as “Chatbot Don’t Like It,” “Save Ourselves,” and “The Great Refusal” balance sharp lyrical ideas with dynamic rock arrangements, while the multi-part “The Hubris March” expands the album’s scope through a mini rock opera that examines the consequences of war and unchecked ambition. The inclusion of a spirited cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son” further reinforces the record’s critical perspective, while showcasing the band’s appreciation for classic protest rock traditions.
With Problematic, Motihari Brigade offers more than a collection of songs—it presents a concept-driven listening experience that invites reflection without sacrificing musical excitement. Blending classic rock influences with contemporary concerns, the album encourages audiences to remain curious, challenge assumptions, and embrace independent thought. It’s a confident and distinctive release that reinforces Motihari Brigade’s identity as a band unafraid to ask difficult questions through the enduring power of rock and roll. (Motihari Brigade)
