The Viva Knievils : Sweaty & Loose 2002-2007

About Me


"The tongue-in-cheek antics of The Viva Knievils are the area's offering at the altar of gutter punk rock 'n' roll. With one the funniest, most down-to-earth, and rabble-rousing stage shows you'll see anywhere this side of the fifties, these boys know how to party." SOUTH WALES REPORT - MAXIMUM ROCK & ROLL [USA]

"This is just as I expected - limp, badly produced 'garage' rock & roll. The singer says "Woo" a lot, like trying to impersonate The Hives and they talk about how they're "gonna rock" a lot. If your idea of Status Quo on 45 appeals, then "Woooahh yeah", this will indeed rock you." MONK DAVE [FRACTURE FANZINE]

"Awesome. The Viva's are the saviours of rock & roll." PETE COLLINS [POP MAG EDITOR]

"An excellent ejaculation of a record." ADAM WALTON [BBC RADIO WALES]

"An enjoyably silly rock 'n' mash up - A joyous OTT cross between Dogs D'Amour, The Wildhearts and Green Day." JAMES McCLAREN [SOUND NATION EDITOR]

"Not so much of a toe-tapping tune, more of a foot stomper, it picks you up, throws you around and then leaves you wanting more. At just over 2 minutes long, this is as punk as it gets - noising drumming, great bass, good guitar work and infectious shouted at you lyrics." MOIST MAG

"Liquor swilling, hotrod revving, quiff cultivating rock and or roll from the Principality. Four slabs of riotous, high octane rawk and roll punk that hit's the spot more often than not." PUNK NEWS

"She's Gonna Get is a glam rock poem of delightful kebab-u-like romance on the streets of Swansea" SOUND NATION

"Super sleazy rock and roll played well as they tear through every great cliché of rock and rockabilly known to man. Fantastic! Picture leopard print, leather and low slung guitars." TRAILER PARK TRASH FANZINE

"Never heard of 'em, mate." NME
