A Serb, a Jap, and an Aussie play songs together. From Love Is My Velocity press release: "Made by three unassuming, very nice boys (Predrag Delibasich, Kenta McGrath and Scott Hancock), former and current members of the Soviet Valves and Mannequin, Bamodi's music has been likened several times to 90s punk rock but we think that's a little off-base. The retarded riffs and bouncing bass sound much more like something coming from the New York underground of the 70s and 80s. Bands like James Chance and the Contortions, or Mars, or Wire, or, y'know, anybody off that No New York compilation. Punk has an element of pop, and while Bamodi's music at times has a pop touch it's probably too unhinged to be called punk. So that's what it's taken for us to diverge from the sublime pop of most of our other releases – hypnotically weird, brain-shredding skaz. It's frickin' awesome". "Bamodi are a spazzy new group combining no wave helter-skelter with locust insanity" the West Australian newspaper. "...screeching, warbling vocals that sounded like it was Koran-reading day at the special school..." X Press magazine. "Bamodi are a half-speed punk band, fronted by what sounds like an angry cat. They’re incredibly weird, but not in a sexy, arty way. This is just full-on, unfettered, bizarre shit. It’s tough to get past the lead singer when it comes to this lot. Bewildering and hilarious, at the very least you’ve got to admire the guy for being so truly, unselfconsciously odd." X Press magazine.
