About
Hull 5-piece Bunkerpop feature current and former members of such exalted outfits as Fonda 500, Baby Mammoth, Nyam Nyam, Black Delta Movement and The Schoolgirls.
Bunkerpop deliver “an experimental mash of energy and titivating instrumental and electronic sound with pronouncements” and take their influences from the likes of Neu!, Holy Fuck and Talking Heads.
Live, they combine these musical charms with “the excitement and visual stimuli of a Billy Graham, P-Funk or Flaming Lips concert. Cult like worship is encouraged. Bunkerpop are the people’s band… come join them”.
Their self-produced, self-titled debut album was funded via Kickstarter and released 7 June 2019 on their own label Fast And Bulbous, on 2LP, CD and digital formats.
