About Me

STOP PRESS: THE VIPER88S HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE STUDIO. DOWNLOAD A FREE COPY OF THE FIRST MIX VERSIONS OF THE FOUR TRACKS FROM THE 'HANDS ON' E.P. AT WWW.VIPER88S.COM
Formed in the London Indie Clubs where the beer is old and the floors are sticky. Four friends decided to finally put their money where their mouths are and put a band together. The Viper88s rehearsed hard forming the tunes Si and Steve had put together on rainy Sundays for years into near stadium anthems... Now a year and a half on and plenty of London toilet circuit gigs under their belts the Viper88s play punchy two and a half minute indiepunkfuzzpop and full on folkish-rock with ninja like precision. Child like optimism has always been the key to the Viper88s success.
