Editorial review
With introspection having been a prime ingredient of so much of the alternative rock of the '90s and 2000s, it stands to reason that some rockers would rebel against all that introspection. That is not to say that introspection is a bad thing or that introspection in rock music started with Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder -- Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen" and Aerosmith's "Dream On," two classics from the early '70s, were highly introspective -- but whenever rock moves in a particular direction (either musically or lyrically), there will inevitably be those who purposely move in a different direction. And the Serpenteens' debut album, Dead Men Walking, is a prime example of a rock release of 2006 that is anything but introspective. The Serpenteens' infectious blend of punk-pop and hard rock is a throwback to the days when outrageous, campy, over-the-top fun was a big part of rock music. Recalling the '70s and '80s, this New York City outfit draws on influences that include Kiss, the Misfits, Iggy Pop and the Ramones as well as Alice Cooper (who was introspective on "I'm Eighteen" but certainly wasn't introspective on "School's Out," "Elected," "The Black Widow" or "It's Hot Tonight"). While the Serpenteens generally don't play quite as fast as the Ramones, they definitely share their love of absurdist lyrics. The songs on this 34-minute CD (which are greatly influenced by cheesy horror and sci-fi flicks) are about zombies, aliens and other hideous creatures, although the Serpenteens are never genuinely disturbing; lyrically, a tune like "Please Be My Zombie Bride" (which unites punk, doo wop and '50s/early '60s rock & roll in a Ramones-like fashion) has a lot more in common with Bobby "Boris" Pickett's "Monster Mash" than with Slayer's material. Dead Men Walking isn't groundbreaking, but it's a likable disc that is well worth hearing if one is in the mood for pure, unadulterated, unapologetically goofy fun. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
SERPENTEENS were formed in late 1995 by Gee Grant and Mark Zap (known as “Fang Alphamayle” and “Bub Romero” when in character) as a side project to explore new musical and conceptual ideas not present within the context of their current bands at the time. Combining a passion for Horror and Zombie movies, with the love of theatrical bands (KISS, Misfits, Alice Cooper etc.), they began to lay the foundation for a concept. The look of the classic film "zombie" combined with a catchy "monsterpop" sound was to become a signature trademark.
The project recorded a 4 song demo titled "Dead Men Walking", with Gee providing vocals, playing drums and guitars. Mark’s considerable talents were put to use for bass guitar duties and backing vocals. This rare demo became a favorite of underground tape traders worldwide.

Dead Men Walking (Blood and Guts) by Ewan Wadharmi "If you can't stand the sight of blood, close your eyes when you read this comic book!" warned the '70's ads for the Kiss graphic novel printed in the band's own blood. As close to metal Kiss got at that time was their faces on a lunchbox, and I've often envisioned myself smashing Paul Stanley with his own licensed likeness whilst screaming "Kiss this, made-for-TV's Star Child!" Dead Men Walking brings back that cartoon version of hard rock I so eschewed as a critical youth. But whereas Gene Simmons had his waggling tongue dripping red corn syrup on the stage, Serpenteens keep their tongues in their cheeks. Covering such subjects as zombies, aliens, monsters, zombie aliens, werewolves, and zombies, the songs really span the Saturday matinee genre. Be advised: Singer Fang Alphamayle yields an amazingly rich, mature voice that truly must be heard to be believed. Somewhat resembling Ozzy, but really that doesn't begin to fairly describe it, except that I'd listen to him sing anything, anywhere. "X-Ray Eyes!" has a late '60s happy poppy garage sound and rousing, tight harmonies inexplicably reminiscent of Eddy Grant's pre-reggae band, The Equals (Baby Come Back). Go back a decade, as Serpenteens' doo-wop their unholy matrimony to "Zombie Bride." There's a killer gold-rush trip to "Hell California" on the spaghetti western tip. The rest of the disc is a fine mixture of Sabbath and Misfits featuring graciously round guitar work with thick outlines like comic strips, satisfying driving rhythms, and sneaky melodies. Did I mention great soaring harmonies? Hands off my copy. Get your own. (www.bloodandgutsrecords.com) Reviewed by Ewan Wadharmi
