Look sharp. Kap Bambino is a stampeding punk-rock juggernaut, and it’s hurtling this way. Unlike most assaults of lawless rock’n'roll ideals, it’s not powered by guitars, or rather any live instruments whatsoever. The empowering eruption of frenzied discordance, space invader sucker-punch beats and caterwauling incantations conjured by the Bordeaux duo, Caroline Martial and Orion Bouvier, is the result of harnessing the unruly spirit of bands like Suicide and Nirvana, then feeding it through a tangled web of samplers, synthesisers and software modules. The result is a more immediate, more kinetic and more inspiring show than your likely to witness from any of the baggy-shorted buffoons 2009 tries to throw up as punk-rockers. Live onstage Kap Bambino’s manifesto is crystal clear: a union of liberation and abandon all in the name of love, otherwise known as one giant next generation mosh-pit where any innocent bystanders are doomed to messy fate of cyclone limbs, unabashed elation and down right goofiness. “It may sound cheesy,” grins Caroline. “But everything we do, we do it as if it’s the last time. Every show, the last one, every song we record, the same. Every plane we get on, we assume it will crash. I think that makes our music what it is.” Tracklisting: Side A : RESISTANCE ALPHA Side B : RISE
