Bamboo Vipers - Andrew Ridgeley Moment

  


  A new song today from a band that are no strangers to Just Some Punk Songs, I think this is their 6th appearance (the previous songs being Silver Boots, Haunted House, Inch High Private Eye, Spacewaster & The Runt Of The Litter). They're a band that has a back catalogue which would lend itself to a cracking "greatest hits" album (although a follow up to their 2014 debut album Dangling The Bait would be nice). 

  Bamboo Vipers (https://www.facebook.com/BambooVipers/) are a trio from Hampshire that you never quite know what you're going to get from next. Except that it'll be something very good. I think previous reviews have made a range of comparisons with everyone from Suzi Quatro, Dead Kennedys, Glitter Band, Killing Joke & The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing. 

  Not only do you not quite know what new music from the band will sound like, you never know what the song will be about. We've had topics such as glam rock accessories, spooky mansions, champagne socialists, one-party totalitarian states, the rock n roll hall of fame and cartoon detectives... 

  This time round George Michael's former partner in crime from Wham is front and centre of one of the tracks on the new double A sided single. You can find the single on Spotify :  https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Oue4KvOUT4GVWGrzmxDrz/discography

  This is Andrew Ridgeley Moment...
