Bullitz 23’s debut EP Burn ignites the punk scene with raw energy and gritty, street-smart lyrics. Fronted by Andi Chalmers, the band emerges from the ashes of underground punk outfits like Ex-Cathedra and Suicide Bid, delivering a powerful fusion of 77-style melodic punk rock with a modern twist. The EP’s title track, ‘Burn,’ stands out with its ska-punk influences, complete with horns that add a punchy layer to the rebellious sound.
Kicking off their journey with the explosive single ‘Ballad of Jim Bones’ on a limited edition Green 7” vinyl, Bullitz 23 quickly caught the attention of punk enthusiasts. Hailed throughout notable UK media outlets, the band has already earned praise from punk rock radio stations worldwide.
Drawing comparisons to legendary acts like Stiff Little Fingers, Skids, and Sham 69, Bullitz 23’s sound is characterized by melodic punk tunes complemented by Chalmers’ raspy Scottish vocals. The EP’s blend of punk attitude and catchy melodies makes it a standout release, capturing the rebellious spirit of the genre while offering something fresh and dynamic.
No strangers to the punk rock circuit, Bullitz 23 has shared stages with icons like NOFX, RANCID, and Bad Religion, bringing a wealth of experience to their music. The Burn EP is set to ignite hearts and fuel the fire of rebellion, with tracks that demand listeners dance their Doc Martens off.
For those looking to dive deeper, the CD version of Burn includes a bonus track—a demo version of the title track featuring punk-metal guitarist Gizz Butt, known for his work with English Dogs and The Prodigy. With upcoming shows on the horizon, Bullitz 23 is a band to watch as they continue to blaze their trail in the punk rock scene.
