Bee Bee Sea - Day Ripper (2020)

The new awaited album by italian garage punks Bee Bee Sea - the band combine their trademark upbeat, frenzied riffs, sharp tempo shifts, melodic choruses, euphoric singalongs: they are all in there representing life's manic ups and downs and the all-consuming thirst for hope, release and escapism. "The prospect of having a shitty job for the rest of our lives can be suffocating. This song, and the album as a whole, are basically the summary of our lives in the last couple of years, split between working in a factory during the day and playing our music at night. Night is a dream and a day... Day Ripper!" The album cover is an homage to the Beatles' Revolver artwork. Press quotes: "The band are once again setting out their stall to deliver what looks to be another great album" Louder Than W ar “An energetic mix of garage/surf punk that bounces along with whimsical abandon” Back Seat Mafia Bee Bee Sea music shrieks and howls like a sugar-rushed younger sibling demanding you give up the controller and give them their turn on the Super Nintendo. Jagged riffs mutate into wobbly, brain-twisters and stabbing rhythms akin to the visceral tones of bands like Oh Sees and Together Pangea. In the frantic fury of the song are endless melodic hooks that will rattle in your skull and fuel your own rebellious spirit.
