Emerging from the grimy underbelly of Swansea’s DIY punk scene, Kikker is a ferocious force to be reckoned with. With their biting sarcasm, raw energy, and irreverent lyrics, this quartet delivers a relentless onslaught of post-punk chaos. Their sound is a scathing mix of guttural riffs, sardonic snarls, and a chaotic wall of noise that echoes the primal fury of The Birthday Party while embracing the sharp wit and relentless drive of Fontaines DC.
Kikker’s music reflects the world around them—a crumbling society marred by spiraling debts, inequality, and disillusionment. They pull no punches, taking aim at everything from political corruption to personal anxieties with tracks like “Trash,” which gleefully fantasizes about “tory bashing” and blowing brains out on live TV, to “Cringe Culture,” where they proudly declare the death of judgmental trends. Their lyrics are a raw and often comical engagement with everyday life, mixing absurdity with brutal truths, while tracks like “White Worms” and “The Louse” veer into the bizarre, presenting surreal tales of vermin and paranoia.
Known for their cathartic live shows, Kikker thrives on stage, where fan favorites like “Cringe Culture” and “Trash” ignite mosh pits and provide a much-needed release from the grim realities of modern life. Their latest EP Exoskeleton is a manic punk party with a bouncy, aggressive energy that never lets up, blending distorted, glitchy feedback with thrashing guitars and snarling vocals.
In a world that often feels like a burning trash heap, Kikker is here to rage against the flames—and have a damn good time doing it. Catch them live, grab some gnarly merch, and prepare for a punk rock explosion that’s as class as it is crap. Kikker aren’t just a band—they’re a sonic revolution, taking no prisoners and leaving nothing but destruction in their wake.
