London’s Calling All Astronauts return with an electrifying statement in their new single, “Time To Party,” released on October 24, 2025. Taken from their critically acclaimed fourth album Noise Against Tyranny, this track is a sonic explosion that blends electro, post-punk, industrial metal, and drum & bass into a bold, rebellious anthem. While the title may suggest a carefree club tune, “Time To Party” is anything but superficial—it’s a call to arms disguised as a dancefloor riot, demanding listeners to break free from conformity and embrace individuality.
From the opening seconds, “Time To Party” hits with pure adrenaline. The track’s pounding drum and bass rhythm, shrieking guitar riffs, and electronic intensity create a soundscape that feels tailor-made for both underground clubs and festival stages. The production—handled entirely in the band’s own studio—radiates precision and raw energy in equal measure. Following the band’s previous singles, some of which were mixed by double Grammy winner Alan Branch, the quality bar was already high. Yet, David B (vocals and programming) and Paul McCrudden (multi-instrumentalist) have raised it even further, proving that DIY doesn’t mean compromise—it means complete creative control.
At its core, “Time To Party” captures the spirit that has defined Calling All Astronauts since their formation in 2011: rebellion, authenticity, and social awareness. The track’s lyrics encourage listeners to reject stereotypes, question authority, and reclaim personal freedom. As David B explains, it’s “about being anything you want to be, not being trapped in a stereotype.” Even the song’s title becomes a metaphor—“party” as a revolution, a collective uprising through rhythm and unity.
Musically, the band channels influences from The Prodigy, Pendulum, and The Chemical Brothers, while still maintaining their signature hybrid of punk grit and electronic ferocity. The result is a sound that’s aggressive yet inviting, chaotic yet meticulously crafted. It’s the kind of track that makes you move first—and think harder after.
What makes “Time To Party” particularly compelling is how it balances accessibility with depth. The chorus bursts with commands like “Put up your hands”—an irresistible hook for any crowd—but underneath the anthemic surface lies a sharp message: this isn’t about escapism, it’s about taking back control. Calling All Astronauts have always blurred the line between music and activism, and this track continues that legacy with style and fire.
The band’s journey has been one of evolution and integrity. With a discography spanning four albums (Post Modern Conspiracy, Anti-Social Network, #Resist, and now Noise Against Tyranny), they’ve built a reputation for fearless commentary on topics like political corruption, social inequality, and discrimination. “Time To Party” feels like the culmination of that ethos—an anthem for a world ready to rebel through rhythm rather than rhetoric.
In a time where much of modern electronic rock can feel manufactured, Calling All Astronauts remind us what authenticity sounds like. “Time To Party” is more than a track—it’s a manifesto for freedom, wrapped in a dance-punk detonation of beats, guitars, and unfiltered emotion.
