With “Time To Party,” London-based provocateurs Calling All Astronauts deliver one of their most audacious statements to date; A meticolously crafted unfiltered collision of industrial might, drum and base adrenaline. The duo, comprising David B (vocals, programming) and Paul McCrudden (multi-instrumentalist), have long occupied a distinct position within the alternative underground, using their music as both a sonic weapon and a vehicle for socio-political dissent.
Calling All Astronauts have always used their music to challenge the world around them. Their songs often deal with racism, homophobia, corruption, and social injustice, and this track continues that mission. It’s rebellion with rhythm—a dance track that refuses to stay silent.
Time to party begins with a pounding drum, heavy guitars and buzzing synths. There’s a non-stop energy and vibe, a blend of Inch Nails and Ministry with the high-speed rush of The Prodigy and Pendulum. McCrudden’s guitars slice through the beat while David B’s voice grabs all the attention; raw and all in control.
This track was produced in the band’s studio. The production is brilliant and despite the chaos and distortion, the mix remains sharp and balanced which gives the song clarity. Time to party is a song about Freedom. It symbolizes breaking free from control and the ability to stand up to expectations. The lines “Put up your hands” and “Time to party” is a call to Wake up and take back control.
As part of their fourth album, “Noise Against Tyranny,” this single stands out for its bold energy and message. This is not a song to just dance to, it’s a wakeup call in a party beat. The message is simple; Freedom to let loose on the dance floor, but also freedom from society’s rules and old ways of thinking. The next verses hold the main message. “Free up your mind, Give up your soul, This is our religion, and we are taking control” suggests that the party is a spiritual way to take back power.
The song’s best message about society is here: “Don’t matter about your style, It’s a music revolution and we win by a mile.” This is a strong statement about bringing people together and that no matter who you are or what you look like, the shared experience matters, breaking societal barrier.
The last part of the song pushes the idea by rejecting the past and the lyric presents an argument that this movement is not an accident but an important change. It pictures a better future where Music and shared experience create the only rules.
Time to Party is a bold statement from a fearless band that never relents to speak their mind. It’s loud, fearless, and full of life—an anthem for anyone who refuses to be told who they should be. With its mix of energy, attitude, and purpose, this song shows exactly why Calling All Astronauts remain one of the most exciting voices in the alternative scene today.
