Moderate Rock

Bokotono will sneak up on you.

I know what you’re thinking. The Irish outfit look like nice enough guys, and come on, there’s only the three of them. They’re surely still figuring out their sound too, having just released their debut EP proper last month.

But, like a beautiful flower unfurling to reveal one of those boxing gloves on a spring, they use slow-building lush-sounding instrumentals to hide warp speed rock, disorienting noise, and delirious fun. By the time the wall of noise hits, it’s too late, there’s no escape. Consider yourself snuck upon.

Natty cover art on that EP as well.
