BOKASSA share new single, tour with PUPPY starts Dec 6

With just one week to go until their UK co-headline tour with PUPPY kicks off, today stoner-punk scapegraces BOKASSA release a new live version of infectious single ‘Captain Cold One’.

 

BOKASSA frontman Jørn elaborates on the track, declaring, “Captain Cold One is another character in Bokassa’s ever growing character universe. Captain Cold One follows in the footsteps of the Hellbilly Handfisher, the Crocsodile Dundee, and our ever mythical Immortal Space Pirate. The Captain is a man who lives for the weekend, and every day is a weekend for Captain Cold One! He’s your friend with a devil on his shoulder, he’s the lovable anti-hero, he’s the person voted most likely to not succeed at his graduation, and he is (most importantly) a man who lives like it’s Friday even though it’s only Monday! Musically it’s everything from a hardcore Beastie Boys verse to a pop-punk woah-extravaganza-chorus to a Slayer-esque metal breakdown. I wrote the song after hearing a radio special about songs with woooahs in them, and decided to write the most epic woooah song out there.”

Kerrang! 4K

“Their groovy stoner-punk is perfectly pitched to get this party started”

“A staggering exploration of just how many ways there are to make a sonic attack without sacrificing an ounce of momentum”

 

Metal Hammer 8/10

“The riffs are huge, the energy is infectious, and Jørn Kaarstad does a much more convincing cockney accent than Dick Van Dyke”

“A cross-genre, hook-laden, charismatic statement made for your attention”

 

Rock Sound

“Crushing together the carefree mayhem of punk and the weight of hardcore while throwing in a hell of a lot of personality for good measure, the Norwegian trio are making friends and inciting pits everywhere they shred.”

 

Distorted Sound, 10/10

A sonic equivalent of downing an entire crate of beer, crushing the cans on your forehead and jumping straight into a mosh pit.

 

Total Guitar

“Bokassa’s bulldozer rock recalls the kind of punk-metal bounce that you get with Cancer Bats, albeit loosened with a little stoner slack!”

 

Powerplay, 8/10

“A shit load of riffs and hooks”
