(record review)BAMBOO VIPERS-“E.P.”

Bamboo Vipers are coming from South Central England, UK. I somehow got my punk paws on their e.p. and boy am I glad that this came to my ears and this zine.

Vipers EP

This band is comprised of the scene veterans with a lot of years on the punk scene and you can hear it the first second you hear this e.p. Bamboo Vipers play excellent mix of old school punkrock with oi and streetpunk influences. When I heard “Collective Amnesia” besides excellent musicianship, what came to my attention were the vocals. The singer sounds a bit like Cock Sparrer but I love that kind of melodic but rough vocals this band uses. Another highlight of the record is for sure “Silver Boots”, great song. Producion wise, this e.p. is massive punkrock wall of sound, awesome. “Transient” and “Utopia” are also two great punkrock anthems and I would really love to see and hear this punkers play their stuff live.

8/10
