A Punk Rock Gut Punch with Purpose
Launch Control isn’t here to whisper politely—they’re here to shout truth through a megaphone. And Pax Britannica is a razor-edged, rhythm-fueled slap in the face to Britain’s colonial legacy, served up with all the spit, speed, and smarts punk should carry.
From the first second, this track doesn’t just grab your attention—it grabs it by the collar and demands you listen. The riffs hit like a storm surge, relentless and tightly coiled, while the drums sprint like they’re running out of time. Leo Switzer-Woolf’s vocals are raw, urgent, and brilliantly seething—each line spat with the venom of someone who’s had enough of sugar coated nationalism.
But beyond the sonic firestorm, the brilliance of Pax Britannica lies in its message. “Are we here to teach R.E. or divide your country?”—a line that doesn’t just challenge the listener, it indicates a whole system. It’s bold, biting commentary wrapped in a track that’s as catchy as it is confrontational.
This isn’t just music—it’s resistance in under three minutes. Launch Control proves yet again that they’re more than a band; they’re a blistering voice for uncomfortable truths. Fans of their EP Mayday will feel right at home, but Pax Britannica cranks it up to another level entirely. Ferocious, fearless, and completely unforgettable.
