Flying Vipers
(Reggae / Ska, USA)

Flying Vipers

Emerging from a basement bunker outside of Boston, Massachusetts, Flying Vipers create dubwise music on an econo cassette machine. Live, they are a 7-piece unit with soulful vocals, blazing horns, bubbling keys and heavy drum & bass. Their love of Jamaican and UK 70’s roots and dub is their north star, but eclectic crates of records and a couple decades worth of DIY punk shows bleed through on tape and on stage.

The core quartet of twin brothers Marc & John Beaudette on drum & bass, Zack Brines on keys, and Kellee Webb on vocals have 20+ years in the New England scene, sharing the stage with legendary reggae acts from around the world, including Burning Spear, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Steel Pulse, the Skatalites, and Hollie Cook, among many others.

In 2025, the year of the snake, the band released their third LP and most realized work yet with Off World, via Easy Star Records. A culmination of all the band’s strengths, it’s receiving consistent airplay by David Rodigan and other international tastemakers like Don Letts (BBC) and Kid Hops (KEXP).
