Mappari — The Firecracker EP Buy it at Amazon
Vocals straight out of a late 80`s soundtrack, Mappari is everything rock and quite modern while having one foot back in time to give it some nice retro vibe. You can`t help but want to get up and tap your feet to “Don`t Be Afraid” a pungent melodic rocker. So telling indeed is their sound that even their name, a geographical word that means “where sound never dies”, tells of what to expect and to keep expecting it. But crap, they`ve even been on MTV in commercials and the VH1 Fashion Awards so where the hell why haven`t we heard of them before? Well their sound is so polished and addictive that we probably just assumed it was some band we`ve heard before but couldn`t quite remember who it was. Yes they`re that good and soon you`ll hear two of their songs on an upcoming Universal Pictures film. So how about we actually remember who these guys are and never forget? Don`t worry it won`t be a chore.
