Multi Purpose Chemical - This Liverpool based band is clearly talented at crafting multi-layered Metal that is both intense and catchy and the political nature of their lyrics adds substance to the intensity.
MPC are a fresh-faced, fresh-flavoured take on a tiresome metal scene. Described as 'Liverpool's most entertaining live band' (by 'Gigwise.com,') it won't be long before they are regarded as being one of the best live bands nation-wide. MPC signed with Honey Records at the tail end of 2004, and recorded the 'Cult E.P,' produced by Ace (ex Skunk Anansie).
Foot stomping riffs, hard hitting lyrics, and a positive outlook, combined with a genuine comedic talent, make up the Multi Purpose Chemical cocktail. It's a unique mix which shows that this multi-cultural, Atlantic spanning band, are all about entertainment. Musically, they lie somewhere between Soulfly, System Of A Down, Poison The Well and Rage Against The Machine, with dashes of Cypress Hill and the occasional chilled funk salsa vibe thrown in for good measure.
Lyrically, there is most definitely a strong message that stresses positive action as opposed to senseless whining. MPC demonstrate, with consummate flair, that rocking out as hard as humanly possible can be all about sweating and smiling, as much as it can be about hating your parents. The 'Cult EP' is the perfect introduction to the 'Hardest working, most easy living, non-sensical rock band you are ever likely to hear.' (Live Magazine) "Their EP "Cult" is four tracks of rumbling, rolling fantastic ROCK, it's pure, it's single-minded, it's relentlessly focused, it's devious and powerful. Passion with conviction: who knew brutality could be so rewarding?" (Matt Finucane - Damnpest.com)
