Kamikaze Test Pilots are an extremely talented four-piece band livin' in the UK, Wes and Beans  (brothers) and Martin spawned from Zimbabwe, and left due to turmoil in their homeland. The Kamikaze Test Pilots were formed in 2005 by Wes and Beans -- Martin joined them in 2006 -- and Jimbo (ex-Loki) joined in January, 2008. Their debut kickass EP,
"Into The Sun," was released around this time last year. Kamikaze Test Pilots are a unique-sounding band of alternative hardcore rock infused with jazz, metal and tribal that produces an energetic music explosion.

"Abattoir Jazz" - A jazz intro that leads into a distorted guitar
riff and launches a grungy hardcore rock tune.
The vocals grind out the infectious lyrics.
"We skin them, we skin them alive".

"Stealing Chameleons" - Takes off from the start, fast and
furiously paced, electrifying blend of music, highly intense,
a moshpit going off in my head style. The vocals twist out
rawly the contagious lyrics of this tune --
"Stealing all my shit but now he's gonna die."

"Kumusha" - Love the tribal drum intro with the over tunes
of a quirky guitar riff. The song transforms into
a raw tribal rock song.

"Dinosaur" - Contagious guitar riffs, solid drumming,
thudding bass and an amazing lead guitar
through the instrumental. Fast paced and moshin'
track that blends into the next track.
"Kick you when your on the floor."

"Dawg" - The breakneck pace continues in this tune,
the vocals raw gravel like, melodically spin our the lyrics,
and a dirty lead guitar rock/metal riff.
"I am gonna find me a woman."

"Bering Strait" - Sweet guitar intro building into
a harmonious alternative rock tune, a deep feeling
track with some beautiful harmonies and guitar picking.
"Blame the pressure, and everyone but yourself."

Kamikaze Test Pilots were ever so kind to also send me
this track, which will be on their new EP or album, to be released in the first half of this year. For now you can hear it on their myspace.

"The Drunk" - Kamikaze Test Pilots explode on impact with this song! Contagious tune raw and bitter vocals spitting it out. Stompin' drumbeats, intricate guitars riffs, these guys just get better -- can't wait for the new release!
"Can't believe I waited around here for you!"

This band is stargazing fucking amazing! If you like Queens of The Stone Age, and Nirvana,
well you're gonna go sic over Kamikaze Test Pilots!
Kamikaze Test Pilots are the ultimate combustion of noise.
Words don't suffice for how amazing this band is, this is definitely
one band everyone needs to hear so don't miss this experience or you will regret it:
