The Pinstripes - Gotta Roll 2016


It's been  3 years since The Pinstripes  last album, the rock solid "Still Kickin' ". That won't surprise anyone who is aware of these cats and if you don't know who they are, all you need to know is that they really are one damn good  kickass rockabilly outfit.That said the band's latest and 4th album has just dropped and this puppy has been worth the wait.Talk about bang for your buck, we get 15 tracks that deliver the goods. From the usual kickass rockabilly to rockabilly blues, rocknroll and border line psychobilly.Throw in some harp action, a few  kool and unique covers(Moon Martin, Metallica, and more ) and the result will color you impressed. Highlights include: "Devil In Me" ," Gotta Roll", "Rockabilly Radio" and the Lee Dresser cover "El Camino Real".
   The Pinstripes are a band that just keeps getting better and  "Gotta Roll" is easily their best album yet.This is an album you gotta snag up. Highly Recommended !

@ The Skiffle Billy Cocktail - The Centrifugal Charisma of the Cowboy Cosmos & the Collapse of Charlatan Chaos 2016



 @The Skiffle Billy Cocktail  just may be one of the most unique bands out there. Hell you be hard pressed to describe their sound. Someone described them as " Hillbilly Rock’olla Skiffle Rag". What is for sure is that these kats probably aren't in your wheelhouse but man their damn good and given the chance you'll probably dig them.  Back in 2012 they released the stellar debut  "Billy Budha &The Crazy Curse Of The Red Mustang" an album you should check out.Now their back with the sophomore effort " The Centrifugal Charisma of the Cowboy Cosmos & the Collapse of Charlatan Chaos".  Once again they defy convention with a mix bag of 13 tracks  of kool styles and sounds.From country, roots, rock,blues,doowop and a whack more.Throw in some great harmonies and the result is one damn good infectious romp that surly will grow on you.This is one of those albums that has you tapping your foot and you don't realize it. Highlights include: "Patchouly Punk" , "My Lasergun", "Your Blue Day Survival" and "Rocco Blanco"
      Chances are  "The Centrifugal Charisma of the Cowboy Cosmos & the Collapse of Charlatan Chaos" will go under the wire and that's really a shame.  @The Skiffle Billy Cocktail  are a pretty kool band  that blaze their own path and this is one damn good album that you should give a chance .You won't be disappointed.Highly recommended !!

Kieron McDonald - Shake That Thing 2016


If your looking for top flight rockabilly/ rock n roll ,Kieron McDonald may be your man. From his start back in 1997 with The Flatfoot Shakers to his work with The Roundup Boys and The Hi-Tones to  his solo work, this cat has consistently been top shelf. Playing "authentic" rockabilly that adds rock n roll ,country and hillbilly into the mix and still sounds fresh .That said Kieron McDonald's  latest offering (his 4th solo album) "Shake That Thing' is a flat out winner.Clocking in with 13 originals and 1 cover of strong and killer rockabilly. Again we get a mix of rockabilly/rocknroll with shades of  hillbilly and  country .What we have here is a case of having really strong material and letting a stellar band work it, you just know the results are going to be damn good.From start to finish this is one sweet ride.Highlights include: "Rockabilly High" , "I'm The King Of The Road", " A Little Love" and " Janet Leigh"
    Kieron McDonald  has again delivered another top notch album with "Shake That Thing". You should diffidently snag this puppy up .Highly recommended!!

THE RETARDED RATS - Screams From The 10th Planet 2016


The Retarded Rats may be the scruge of Leipzig but that doesn't change the fact that they are one kool and interesting psychobilly band.Their  more than solid debut album "Lost In Space And Lost In Time" and last year's single ,"Underground Is Dead" prove that .Despite a membership change the band is back and stronger than ever .Now in 2016 they have just dropped their sophomore album "Screams From The 10th Planet" and this puppy is a winner.We get 12 tracks(11 originals) of raw and rough old school psychobilly to cure your ills .This time out there is a good splash of  trashy garage thrown into the mix.The result is a damn strong album that scores a direct hit.Highlights include: "No Time To Die", " Neo-Psychobilly", "Nananananananananananana" and the smart cover of "Searching"
           The Retarded Rats have stepped it up a notch with " Screams From The 10th Planet".This is old school psychobilly that sounds fresh and delivers the goods.They are band you diffidently should check out.Also their label Killjoy Records is worth hitting up.Recommended!!
