Kamikazi – Bastard Sounds EP
Motörheadesque punk-rock from Thessaloniki
High-octane punk rock’n’roll straight out of Thessaloniki! Kamikazi brings a wild blend of ’82-style punk and hard-rocking tunes that perfectly catches the grit and desperation of their homeland—a country plagued by corrupt politicians, sky-high unemployment, and a general sense of despair. But instead of wallowing in misery, Kamikazi channels it all into five explosive tracks, each averaging around two and a half minutes of punk’n’roll gusto.
This debut EP is punk-rock played from the heart, dripping with a Motörhead-inspired attitude that will have any old-school rocker nodding in approval. The songs roar with dirty riffs, driving rhythms, and an unstoppable energy that makes you want to hit the road and never look back. Adding to the record’s pedigree, the tracks were mastered by none other than Brad Boatright of From Ashes Rise at his renowned Audiosiege Studio, ensuring top-tier production quality.
While this might not be the most groundbreaking release, it’s brimming with authenticity and passion. The 100 hand-numbered cassette tapes of the EP sold out in just two days. Luckily, the tracks are still available on Bandcamp, so you can grab them digitally and experience their old-school punk magic.
If you’re into finely tuned, Motörhead-esque punk-rock with a real DIY ethos, Kamikazi is definitely worth a listen. It’s rare to come across a band that plays with such genuine spirit and attitude, and they’ve set the bar high with this debut. Buckle up, turn it up loud, and ride to ruin!
