UK-based punk band Launch Control have released a new single, “Science Friction,” marking their third release of 2025. Known for their socio-political focus and high-energy sound, the band continues to channel urgent commentary through driving punk rock arrangements.
“Science Friction” follows earlier 2025 singles Hedge Fundamentalism and Pax Britannica, extending the band’s commitment to politically conscious songwriting. With lyrics aimed at modern complacency and misinformation, the track confronts cultural and systemic inertia head-on. Launch Control’s style remains tightly executed—balancing direct lyrical content with hook-driven instrumentation.
