On the 40th anniversary of its release, Flying Vipers pay tribute to the debut EP by hardcore/punk pioneers Black Flag. Their first 7" record, Nervous Breakdown, introduces the original line-up with 4 songs in 5 minutes. We've put our own spin on this iconic set, arranged as a single track, stripped down to bare bones drum & bass, and drenched with reverb and analog effects. Recorded and mixed direct to cassette tape over the span of a few hours.

Flying Vipers head to Brunswick, Maine this weekend for the Green Woods Roots & Culture Revival. It is Jamaican independence weekend and the oceanside event is stacked with great headliners like The Meditations, Jesse Royal, Carlton Livingston, Addis Pablo, Bushman & more. We play Sunday at 6:45pm. Green Woods is a biofuel and reggae powered roots music festival, now in its 6th season showcasing locally harvested and produced foods & goods, craft beer and other fermented products, plant-based technology and herbal medicines. Tickets available here.
After nearly a year of pandemic life, our tune "Alone for a Long Time" hits a little harder. Featuring Jay Champany (of 10 Ft. Ganja Plant) on vocals and at the controls, the track originally appeared on The Shadow Tape, a cassette-only release and buried online. We always wanted to release Jay's two extended discomixes on a 12" vinyl 45... until then, they are now available on Flying Vipers Bandcamp and all streaming platforms.
New year, new threads. Pre-order open for 1 week, then we screen print em. flyingvipers.com/merch Happy New Year, massive thanks for all the support in 2020. We sincerely hope to see you again in 2021.
Hot on the heels of Cuttings (called "one of the top reggae records of the year" by Flea Market Funk), we present two new versions by the inimitable Dub Fader, available on a very limited heavyweight vinyl 45 from Happy People Records!
