Wild Rooster - No way out of hell 2013


Over the years Sweden's Wild Rooster have been one band that definitely has not only matured but also has gotten better.These Teddyboy rockers have been described as "kick ass bad boy rock’n’roll"  but ask around and you will find that to some people they are "hard driving rockabilly ", a straight up Teddyboy band and to others a "revival  band".No matter what one's take is ,most agree they are a killer band .That said  "No Way Out Of Hell "is the bands 5th album and you could say it's pretty darn good .Clocking in with 12 tracks(9 originals) that combine elements of teddyboy,rockabilly and just plain rock n roll into a neat and solid package.You could say that this is just what you would expect and that's a good thing.Highlights include: " King Of Dreams","Rockin' Little Jill ","My Inner Beast" and the title track "No Way Out Of Hell ".


            Wild Rooster has delivered a great sounding effort here.This is their most well balanced and strongest album yet and that's saying something. Recommended. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wild-Rooster/278099192225635  http://www.wildroosterrock.com/

Dr Loomis and The Freakies - Freakyland Sanatorium


 Dr Loomis and The Freakies may have formed in 2008 but it wasn't until 2011 that they really became a band.Since then these French psychos have been hard at work.Their demo in 2011 received a lot of attention and I'm betting more than they know.They started playing more gigs and got busy writing all while creating some buzz outside of France.Word came in early 2013  that the band was going to release an album and that perked more interest in them .Well now "Freakyland Sanatorium" (their debut album) is here and this puppy delivers the goods.Clocking in with 12( the demo tracks are included here also) psycho rockers that hit the ground running and don't stop.This is a psychobilly carnival ride that's all fun. There is also enough change ups to keep you interested  and that helps the album flow pretty good.Highlights include:" Run Baby" ,"Ghost Bastard","Second Coming" and "Home".
           Freakyland Sanatorium at times comes off like old school  but it's more a mix of both old and modern psychobilly . Definitely a band to keep an eye on and an album that you should throw a few bucks down on!

Pike Cavalero - Torro 2014


                                                                                      Photo by Kitty Cat Kustom Arts.
Pike Cavalero & the Gentle Bandoleros served notice to the rockabilly world  in 2011 with "Just a Matter of Manners " and man  it worked .These Spanish kats quickly establish themselves as a must see band and people started calling them "the real deal". Since that debut release the band has dropped  the "Weekender " demo and 2 stellar ep's .Now in 2014 Pike Cavalero   has  just release his first solo effort and it's top notch rockabilly, just what you would expect . Torro  bops in with 14 killer tracks that basically bounce from rockabilly to 50's rock n roll and it's pretty impressive to boot.There is a couple of  covers to go with the  originals as well as all 4 tracks off the  "In Second Round "ep that have been remixed here.Highlights include:" Black Hearts Club", " Six Shoother Blues","Wannabes" and a kool cover of "The Race Is On" done in Spanish.
          If your a fan of Pike Cavalero (and who isn't)  you'll love "Torro" if your not  but you love rockabilly this puppy is a must  This raw, boppin', hip shakin  rockabilly so what more do you want. Highly Recommended !! http://www.pikecavalero.com/   https://www.facebook.com/pikecavalero.official

Frantic Vermin - Schmutzzz!! 2013


You really couldn't blame  longtime psycho's and rockabilly types for feeling a bit of deja vu  these days. Hell more than a few 80's billy bands have reformed over the last couple of years.Thank God the results have actually been pretty good so far .So now comes the dutch  psycho's  Frantic Vermin  who made a solid name for themselves in the mid 80's (they started out as a rockabilly band in 82) and by 1988 these kats had packed it in.In 2009 the outfit  put itself back on the active roster and despite a major setback this band has really has come on strong.Their 2011 demo was pretty  impressive and was also well received ,so the path was laid down for an actual debut album  and now it's finally here. The result is  "Schmutzzz!!"and this puppy kicks some major butt. We get all 5 songs from their demo plus 7 new  tracks that have enough to please both psychos and rockabilly kats.This has a great balance of old school psychobilly and rockabilly that sounds pretty damn fresh.Highlights include: "When You Wanna Go", " At Night", "Spies In Disguise" and "Girls On The Deathrow".
         


       Frantic Vermin  are on top of their game here and  Schmutzzz!!  proves that.This is one surprisingly good and very strong album.Recommended !  http://franticvermin.com/   https://www.facebook.com/frantic.vermin.3
