Evolving from a gang of mates with a shared love of rock n roll, Imperial Vipers exploded into action in early 2005. Ripping
out tunes that fall somewhere between Soundgarden & The Clash their sound and live performance is
hard to pigeon-hole and has been described quite simply as "Street Rock" by Anne Maria from Total
Rock, a genre that the band identify with. "We were sick of all these public school pricks making
what they claimed to be rock n roll music so we just had to show em how its done" says lead guitarist
and main songwriter Wevs. Front man Ash Simmons adds "we're proud to be a British band who make real
songs about real stuff but still have a good time doing it."
The London & Luton based five-piece have already notched up an impressive list of successes
throughout the UK and Europe. 2006 has seen them tour with the likes of the legendary Hanoi Rocks who
loved the band's "energy and passion" and Ginger of Wildhearts fame who described them as "the best
new band around." As well as playing with Marky Ramone, Supergrass, Goldie Lookin Chain and Towers Of
London they also headlined both the Kone Funboard Festival to an audience of 10,000 at the Bercy
Stadium in Paris and the 2005 World X-treme Sports Exhibition. In short, the Vipers swaggering and
gritty rock n roll has already won them a legion of fans.
The likes of Radio 1s Colin Murray, XFMs Ian Camfield, Iron Maiden front man and BBC 6 Music DJ Bruce
Dickinson have all been vocal in their support of the band, as have leading UK rock magazines Classic
Rock who gave debut album Searching:Falling:Silence an 8/10 rating, and Kerrang! who called them "an
authentic shit-kicking rock n roll band with potential to cause structural damage." Meanwhile the
band will carry on as they always have - playing shows, writing songs and doing things their own way
without compromise. Imperial Vipers have arrived make sure
you dont miss the ride.

Would love to hear from you!
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb,
His fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school each day,
Twasnt even in the rule.
He made the children laugh and play.
To have a Lamb at school.
And then the rules all changed one day,
illegal it became;
To bring the Lamb of God to school,
Or even speak his Name.
Everyday got worse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We heard gun shot and tears.
What must we do to stop the crime,
That's in our schools today?
Let's let the Lamb come back to school,
And teach our kids to PRAY!
