        BAZOOCA IS BACK WITH NEW MATERIAL, MORE DYNAMIC AND DIFFERENT THAN EVER. THE TRACKS OF ‘ZOUGLA’(JUNGLE) EP ARE A BREACKTHROUGH FOR THE SOUND OF THE BAND AND BRIGGE THE STYLES OF “USELESS GENERATION” WITH THE MOST PSYCODELIC SOUNDS OF THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM.

        FROM THE TRIBAL GROOVE OF THE OPENING TRACK “ZOUGLA” AND THE ACOUSTIC DYNAMICS OF “EXAILOSOU” TO THE SCALED “I DIKI SOU SIRA” WITH ITS NEW WAVE PASSES AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE PSYCEDELIC REFERENCES OF “THELO FISI”, THE SOUND OF BAZOOKA – BASED ONCE MORE ON GREEK VERSE – EVOLVES. THE BAND GOES BEYONDE LIMITS AND MANAGES TO SOUND DISINTEGRATED, CHAOTIC BUT AT THE SAME TIME ABSOLUTELY RAW AND IMPETUOUS.

         BAZOOKA WERE FORMED IN 2008, IN VOLOS, WHERE CENTAURS WERE LIVING, CONSISTING SINGER/GUITARIST XANTHOS PAPANIKOLAOU, GUITARIST BILL TZELEPIS, DRUMMER JOHN VULGARIS, KEYBOARDIST PANOS PAPANIKOLAOU AND BASS PLAYER ARIS RAMMOS. IN THE SAME YEAR THEY MOVED TO ATHENS IN ORDER TO FULFILL THEIR NEED TO PLAY LIVE. AT A TIME WHEN THE GREEK CAPITAL WAS UNDERGOING A SEVERE ECONOMIC CRISIS AN UNDERGROUND MUSICAL RENAISSANCE FLOURISHED THROUGH A MULTITUDE OF DIY SQUAT VENUES THAT HOSTED THE CITY’S BEST PUNK AND PSYCH-ROCK BANDS. BAZOOKA WERE QUICKLY FOUND TO BE THE MOST SAVAGE CREW OF THE INCREDIBLY CORROSIVE ROCK’N’ROLL SCENE THATY INCLUDES ACIDF BABY JESUS, GAY ANNIVERSARY AND A VICTIM OF SOCIETY.

       BAZOOKA’S DEBUT LP WAS RELEASED IN 2013 ON SLOVENLY RECORDINGS, FOLLOWING 7INC EP’S ON INCH ALLAH “SHAME TAKE MY BRAIN” AND SLOVENLY “I WANT TO FUCK ALL THE GIRLS IN MY SCHOOL”. IN 2016 THEY RELEASED THEIR SECOND FULL ALBUM FOR SLOVENLY RECORDS WITH THE TITLE “USELESSE GENERATION”. IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS THEY HAVE TOURED EUROPE SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL AS THE US.(…)

Κάπου εκεί έξω στον πλανήτη γη

Σέρνονται άνθρωποι από εδώ και από εκεί

Έχουν κεφάλια σκυμμένα χαμηλά

Μέσα απ’ το στόμα τους γαυγίζουνε σκυλιά

 

Κοίτα ένας θεός 

Έχει φτερά πετάει δυνατός

Και δεν τον νοιάζει τι παίζει χαμηλά

Σήκω και πιάσ' τον άμα σου βαστά

 

Ένας θεός πετάει δυνατός

Ένας θεός πετάει δυνατός

Ένας θεός πετάει δυνατός

Πετάει δυνατός

Πετάει δυνατός

Πετάει δυνατός
