Snazzy Boys debut 7'' Organized octopus
From Target Magazine (FR).
Premier 45 de cejeune groupe italien, 3 titres de Punk Rock style 77 plutôt bien branlé, çarappelle les Dickies et ce groupe 77 espagnol, Los Nikis. Sinon ça fait aussi bien sûr très Briefs et il y a une petite touche Rip Off Records bienvenue. Du tout bon quoi! Après, le truc est limité à 285 exemplaires, donc je vous souhaite bien du courage pour le chopper.....

Toen ik voor het eerst van het bestaan van Rijapov Records hoorde, meende ik gezien de naam te maken te krijgen
met een Oosteuropees label dat vage balkanpunk uitbrengt. Niets van dat alles!
Rijapov Records is afkomstig uit Italië en heeft tot nu toe twee vinyl singles
uitgebracht. De allereerste single is van The Snazzy Boys. Dit kwartet Italianen heeft drie energieke
punknummers opgenomen. Drie nonchalante en direct meezingbare nummers die van
het vinyl afspatten. Grote klasse. ....

Snazzy Boys – Organized Octopus
(7") – Rijapov Records
Ecco qua la prima uscita ufficiale degli Snazzy Boys!!! Ero molto
curioso di sentire questo 7" perché fin dalla prima volta che li avevo
visti live (al Magazzino 47 di Brescia di supporto ai Kidnappers, tra l'altro
mi pare fosse il loro primo concerto…) mi avevo impressionato positivamente.
Tre pezzi in stile Briefs, vinile col buco grande (che non so perché mi piace
di più), ottimo artwork colorato ed edizione limitata a 285 copie. Non posso
proprio non farvi notare che alla batteria c'è Brown Lobotomy, il Marky Ramone
di Sarnico. In conclusione, bravi Snazzy e grande Gigi per averlo fatto uscire,
attendo con impazienza il prossimo singolo! (Fra) ....

SNAZZY BOYS- 'ORGANIZED OCTOPUS' 7"
I remember I heard the title track 'Organized Octopus' on a German radio show
and it blew me away…I just couldn't get it out of my head and it just made such
an impression on me and there was some really great shit being played on that
show…Italy's THE SNAZZY BOYS play some of the most stylish, straightforward '77
pogo punk ala BRIEFS, SHOCKS, HATEPINKS etc This is a fucking fantastic
record…it's overflowing with energy and fun and holy shit can they write. The
production on this thing is fantastic too- it's so raw, stripped down and
perfect…the record looks good too…these fuckers have truly got something
special…make a serious point of getting a hold of this record…if you got
excited when you first heard 'Hit After Hit' expect to be blown a-fucking-way
by this. www.myspace.com/rijapovrecords ....

Rijapov | Dieses Review kann ich angenehm kurz halten,
denn es ist einfach eine äußerst sympathische Single, die
diese italienische Band hier kredenzt. Statt groß rumzulangweilen,
brennen die vier Jungs drei schön kurze und melodisch-
eingängige Punkrock-Nummern ab, in bester Tradition
der BOYS, UNDERTONES oder BRIEFS. Speziell der
letzte Song „Punk-rock girls" ist dabei eine wirklich feine
Singalong-Nummer und so und nicht anders will ich das
hören. Punkt! (8) Bernd Fischer....
first review for the Snazzy Boys 7" by Lord Rutledge (Now Wave
Magazine!)
Not
much to say about this one, except "Fuck yeah!" The Snazzy Boys
from ....Italy....
are total '77 revivalists, with a bouncy pogo punk sound redolent of the first
Briefs album. Clearly inspired by the poppy side of the '70s punk explosion
(Dickies, The Boys, Generation X, et al), these four Italian lads felicitously
represent for the sunglasses-and-striped-shirts brotherhood. "Organized
Octopus" is exemplarily high energy goofball punk, while "Cola
Cola" is a dizzying speedball affair (blink, and you'll miss it!). Coming
on with a more rockin' edge is "Punk-Rock Girls", which suggests The
Vibrators on amphetamines. And That's that. Boom, boom, boom, and you're
flipping the record and starting all over. These days I don't hear as much
straight-up '77 punk as I used to, so the Snazzy Boys inhabit a soft spot in my
heart. They attack the style with gusto and glee, and an uncontainable air of
fun at all costs
I cant wait to hear a full-lenght!....

Die
italienische Antwort auf die Briefs! Das Titelstück klingt fast wie eine Cover
Version des Lurkers Hits "Shadow" und auf der B-Seite geht es mit
zwei weiteren schnellen, eingängigen End 70er Punk / Wave beeinflussten Stücken
in bester Dirtnap Manier weiter. Limitiert auf 285 (!) Hand-numerierte
Exemplare!

Italians, take a bit of sloppy seconds and mix that with 77 punk an a bit of

Snazzy Boys - Play Your Bollocks 2nd 7’’ ....
---ENGLISH---...
FROM STREET VOICE ..UK..
THE SNAZZY BOYS - Play With Your Bollocks EP:
Italian Punkers the Snazzy Boys are one of the best Punk bands to come out of ....Italy.... in a long
while. There highly infectious sound should be heard at Punk venues all over
the world as there's not many bands who do it '77 style. In fact the sound is
captured better on the vinyl than it is on the promo CD i got sent along with
the release. If you're after a band that captures the early Punk sound then
this is a band you should be checking out. 9/10
FROM LOWCUT 45
Snazzy Boys : Play Your Bollocks With... 7" (Rijapov Records)
Snappy 77' punk with lotsa attitude and pop sensibilities in the right amounts.
This is the Italian combo's 2nd single and so far they can't do wrong in my
book. Rijapov Records has also released gnarly stuff by Wrists and Wax Museums
- so you know this is cool shit, daddy-o! AW RIGHT?

THE SNAZZY BOYS - 'PLAY YOUR BOLLOCKS WITH…' 7"
Italy's finest punk rock spastics THE SNAZZY BOYS are back with their follow up
to 'Organized Octopus' (also on Rijapov) and invite you to play you bollocks
with four new cuts. These convulsive freaks just nail that wild new wave punk
sound so well…these are some fantastic songs from the opening, and
fantastically titled, 'Beard Desire' with it's fast paced power pop craziness
on to 'They Came From Outer Space' calms things down slightly but not enough to
keep still!! Side B kicks off with the show-stealer of the record 'Go Eat
Worms'…indescribably superb, oozing with pure SNAZZY BOYS style and this
7" comes to a close with 'I'd Like To Be…' another great '70's punk rock
number that you can't stop moving to. I tell you, these guys are unstoppable
and I actually can't wait until the put a full-length out and when they do, I'm
certain that it will be my record of the year. Cool looking record too with a
big hole and the cover comes in 2 colour variations so get them both because
you'll wear at least one out for sure.
FROM TERMINAL BOREDOM
THE SNAZZY BOYS "PLAY YOUR BOLLOCKS" 7"
Sub-par white-rimmed sunglasses and striped shirt pop-punk. Inspired by The
Briefs and maybe The Stitches or even B-Teamers like New Town Animals. But not
even as good as those average-on-their-best-day bands. Is "Beard
Desire" about wanting to grow a beard? I kinda like that idea. Didn't like
the song though. I spent a good majority of this record looking at the Rijapov
Records ad/insert and really wishing I was listening to that Miss Chain &
The Broken Heels record instead. She looks pretty hot. This record = not hot at
all. (RK)

SNAZZY BOYS Play Your Bollocks 7"
Rijapov | Zwar liegt mir nur eine 4-Song-Vorab-CD für
die kommende Single vor, aber die beweist schon, dass
die italienischen BRIEFS-Sympathisanten immer besser
werden. Neben der Franzosenclique um die NEUROTIC
SWINGERS, HATEPINKS und PNEUMONIAS gehören die
SNAZZY BOYS derzeit zur absoluten europäischen Speerspitze
an unverbrauchtem melodischen Oldschool-Punkrock.
Ende Oktober sollte die Vinylsingle erschienen sein,
ich kann nur sagen: Losgehen und besorgen! (8:53) (8)

FROM PLANETTRASH.NL
Het was na de eerste twee releases even stil rondom het Italiaanse Rijapov
Records, maar ze zijn terug met een luide knal. De tweede single van The Snazzy
Boys, Play Your Bollocks, gaat verder waar de eerste, Organized Octopus, er mee
ophield. Denk aan een combinatie van de Buzzcocks en de Ramones met veel hete
pepers. Vier opgefokte nummers in de voor hen zo bekende stijl. Zo
langzamerhand mag Snazzy Boys met een lp komen gecombineerd met een Europese
tour.....
