After launching a series of self propelled EP’s and singles, Manchester’s very own The Vipers industriously wind up their very own version of V8 rock, on a piston driven album of cruising, crushing, underground anthems.
The Boys On The Burning Deck is an astonishing album from a band carving their trade out of a City which has a knack of bringing out the balls in bands.
“The city's grimiest garage-rock bastards”
NME
“More bollocks than a God damn testical factory!”
Beat Surrender
“Snarling spitting garage rock attitude”
Organ Magazine
“Welcome to the world of Manchester rockers The Vipers. It’s sweaty, it’s dirty, it’s murky, it’s grimy… and once you’re in, there’s no going back.”
High Voltage
“Like a more compact Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster or The Horrors without the arty fashion pretence, The Vipers summon up brilliant garage rock snarling and spitting with political dogma.”
Manchester Evening News
“Hard and heavy and with every amp turned to eleven, The Vipers are the best band in England right now. Not surprising that they are from Manchester then, a dirty rock n roll city for a dirty rock n roll band.”
Mabel vs Tiger Magazine
“Officially one of the most powerful rock and roll bands in Manchester right now – if you don’t believe me stand in front of one of their amps and I’ll happily mop up the blood coming out of your ears.”

“The dark, Buzzcocks, riotous traditional rock punk of The Vipers comes armed with same malevolent spirit that unites the Cramps, MC5 and Xtrmntr era Primal Scream.”
clashmusic.com (EP review)
“If you like your rock and roll dirty, savage and impossibly exciting, then this is the band for you”
Subvert Magazine (live review)
“Arcane yet uproariously unambiguous, step into an atmosphere at once foreboding but electrifying, fascinating, valid and vital, or simply get in the pit and writhe around. Delirium will prevail.”
