We already featured Bamboo Vipers on the pages of this webzine when we reviewed their first e.p. This is their brand new recorded e.p. and I listened and reviewed it for this webzine.

This brand new record contains three songs of punkrock mixed with some oi influences by these UK scene veterans. The title song “Haunted House” somehow reminded me partly of horrorpunk bands with a mixture of punkrock and horror lyrics with vocalist Shaun singing melodic and shouting at the same time and believe me it doesn˙t sound bad at all. “Malcontent” starts slower and anthemic and melodic this is for me the best of the three songs, with lyrics strange and awesome  at the same time. The music is a bit rockabilly or even psychobilly influenced and vocally I just can not escape the Cock Sparrer comparison. This song has some atmospheric parts cut with some chaotic interludes and I loved the whole structure. This is a very varied record, stylish somehow being very original which is a compliment in today´s scene. “Payback” starts with spoken word and evolves into excellent melodic punkrock and garage punk sounding song with sarcastic lyrics made for pogoing and jumping around. This is an awesome record for you if you like your punkrock done in old school but still original way.
