THE VIPERS
Outta The Nest! (Cavestomp!)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

---

A double retro whammy: a mid-eighties release of mid-sixties style punk by The Vipers. Mining the same ground as The Chesterfield Kings, The Cynics and The Lyres, The Vipers somehow got lost in the mix, suffering the curse of critics' darlings and public apathy. Here's yer chance to right that wrong. If tambourines and harmonicas are necessary accessories in yer fuzzy guitar rock, then look no further. This is primo psyche garage of the good and sweaty variety. Collecting the classic debut album, and choice bonus cuts, Outta the Nest! is essential in completing that Pebbles style collection in yer basement.
