What the critics have been saying about the Serpico EP:

“…the birth of Edinburgh's Serpico is worth celebrating; there's enough quality hooks to suggest mighty things are afoot here. With production from Rhys Fulber (Fear Factory) you'd expect nothing less, but all would be lost if the material was without meat. Thankfully, the opposite is the case - these are dark, muscular movements with rippling, polished guitar, a kind of mangle of Killing Joke and Avenged Sevenfold. There's ambition and complexity, but nothing that isn't accessible. For Fans Of: Alice in Chains, Avenged Sevenfold” 4/5
Steve Beebee, Kerrang!

“Massive slabs of punk-infused three chord wondrousness. A snotty teenage HIM, or a Scottish-accented Misfits or Layne Stayley singing Funeral For A Friend at a karaoke party. Serpico sit somewhere in the hinterland between 90s metal (a la Deftones), melodic hardcore (like Ignite) and post-grunge stuff like Stone Temple Pilots. Cerebral music for people who like some weight behind their rock.”
Not Katie Parsons, Metal Hammer ‘Incoming’ Feature - but we still love her :)

“Anthemnic, chest-beating punky metal… full throttle, balls-out hard rock as it were meant to be. And, in the spirit of AC/DC, we salute them for it.”
Nightshift Magazine, Oxford

“… a polished, raucous sheen of distortion and melodic vocals… in Kultura, Serpico bring the mosh. It's a pacy, rhythmic thrash-out with intelligent syncopations evocative of the Foos or QOTSA. Definitely enough here to merit checking them out live.”
James Borthwick, The Skinny Magazine

"Serpico's debut EP is a refreshing slice of well crafted tuneful metal with a surprisingly slick production. The Scottish four piece have created a dirty, dark yet uplifting metal sound that veers from massive and heavy to fuzzy and intimate from moment to moment but means business at all times; no messing about, just heavy riffs powerfully gruff vocals and excellent melodies.
The rich fuzzy sound on this excellent four track EP is evidently grunge inspired to a certain degree, (think a much, much heavier Nirvana), but it also has a really fresh edge that brings to mind hook laden melodic metal like Avenged Sevenfold. It's great to hear new British metal of this quality and luckily Serpico do all this without any of the over the top bluster, stupid haircuts and pop star pretensions that so many bands seem to think are necessary, this EP is a triumph of music over style; good tunes, sing along choruses and heavy guitars. What more do you need?"
Emma Gould, Roomthirteen.com

“A metallic riffing machine with perfectly singable verses and choruses. An attempt at merging sneering punk with the more dissonant delights of metal, it's like a younger Velvet Revolver…”
Brad Barrett – Play Music Magazine

“…a band fronted by a man with a very cool name – Mikey Serpico!”
