And they're coming for you.

“The myth is usually more badass than the reality. But not with The Bambir, the reality is a hundred times more badass than any review or street talk you’ve heard… The best way I could describe this band is this… They were born fully formed, armed with guitars, and decided to invent rock’n’roll, without being aware that it even existed.”
— Chew Your Own Fat live review
“Hailing from Armenia but soon to become official honorary Irishmen, The Bambir Have been make a) a wonderfully wild folk-prog racket, and b) tons of new friends, since they crash landed on our shores at the start of the year… Genuinely unforgettable live.”
— HeinekenMusic.ie, Staff Pick of the Week
“The Bambir don’t so much play rock’n’roll as voyage through it. Watching and hearing them do so is what you might call a dear diary moment.”
—Hillary A White, Start Magazine Feature
“The Bambir are playing a host of shows in Ireland this summer and they are highly recommended for music fans who like to be challenged mentally and physically.”
—Stephen Byrne, Goldenplec Irish Music News, KnockanStockan Highlights
“The Bambir’s search pushes the boundaries of musical norms, combining progressive rock with traditional Armenian folk, and steeping the result in the spiritual, the poetic, and the love of a good time.”
—Jerath Head, Le Cool
“The Bambir continued to snap their fingers into technological phenomena with their latest release in black and white. This song forced me out of my chair and had me dancing along with them.”
—Arsineh Valladian, The Armenian Weekly
