Rod Mijares Combo - Rockabilly Bill 2015


When you think of rockabilly you probably don't think of the Philippines.Hell most of us probably can't even  name a single band from the nation of islands ,yet there is a music scene there.Personally I was only aware of a couple bands ,a pop outfit and the rockabilly band The Bembol Rockers.Well  Rod Mijares was in that band for a while and in the last couple of years he has been a busy man with his new outfit the  Rod Mijares Combo.Their 2014 debut album was the kool all surf affair  "See You In My Twang",which was released on the small but dedicated label,  Beat the Robot Recordings.For their  sophomore effort these kats have really changed things up ," Rockabilly Bill " as the title suggest,  is a rockabilly album and a good one too boot.We 12 original slices of mainly traditional rockabilly that for the most part come off refreshing and kool.There is also some "western bop" and a couple of slower jazzy tunes thrown into the mix as well.Highlights include: "Everybody", " I'm On My Way", " Rockabilly Bill" and  "Rollback".
      Rockabilly Bill probably won't blow your skirt up but it is damn solid and has a kool and at times casual  vibe about it .As a result it makes for an enjoyable listening and definitely worth throwing a few bucks down on.!! https://www.facebook.com/rodmijarescombo?fref=ts  http://beattherobotrecords.com/rodmijares.html

The Rocket Beats - Human Tornado 2015


The Rocket Beats are a young,exciting and hungry psychobilly that have been turning heads since 2012 when they came crashing out of Russia.Their debut ep "Welcome To The Rocket Beats" (2013) was and is a pretty good ep that managed to garner the band some deserved attention. After all this is old school psychobilly done well and you gotta like that.Now the band is back with their debut album " Human Tornado" and lets just say this puppy kicks butt.These kats have really upped the anti here.Coming in with 11 tracks of old school psychobilly that hit you square and  move with urgency.Hell, The Rocket Beats bring all the elements of good old school psychobilly to the table as well as some pretty good female vocals(mostly backup but lead on one track) too boot.Highlights include: "Rocket Alert Theme", "Dinosaur Rock", " Let's Shout Again" and "Human Tornado".
   There is nothing here not to like," Human Tornado" is that good and you really don't have to be a fan of psychobilly to enjoy this puppy.The Rocket Beats are one of those bands that you best keep an eye on. Highly Recommended !!    https://www.facebook.com/TheRocketBeats/timeline

Mad Martin Trio - Time To Go Mad 2015


In just over a year the Mad Martin Trio have done more than most bands do in a few years.Since roaring out off the starting line in early 2014 they have won a major Spanish battle of the bands contest(over 1200 bands),played a whack of shows,put out an ep, a mini album  and now a debut full album.Hell there is some major word of mouth about these kats and it's all good.They may be a "new" but there is a whack of pedigree here and they really are a damn good band.The full debut album "Time To Go Mad" struts in with 11 originals and 3 covers of straight up kool rockabilly/rock n roll that's hard to resist .From mid tempo tracks to all out rockers with little shades of country and blues thrown into mix. This is a strong and  diverse album that stands up to repeated listening. Highlights include: " How Bad Can A Good Girl Get ", "Todd the Gambler","Eileen" and " I Dared The Devil".
   The Mad Martin Trio have more than lived up to all the buzz about them with " Time To Go Mad ". Straight up; this is a damn good album that pulls no punches and you should throw some of your hard earned dollars down on.Recommended!!  https://www.facebook.com/MadMartintrio/timeline  http://www.madmartintrio.com/  https://www.reverbnation.com/madmartintrio7

Los Tiki Phantoms - El Misterio Del Talisman 2015


It's been 10 years now since  Los Tiki Phantoms  rode their first wave and over that time they have become  one the most popular surf bands in the world and rightfully so.Their 3 albums and 2 singles are a testament to just how good they really are.This is a surf band that not only mixes it up but also can light it up.From traditional to garage to smash mouth and spaghetti, these kats can  not  only cover the surf map  but do it well to boot. It's been 4 years since their last album so the recent release of " El Misterio Del Talisman" will have fans jumping for joy.This new puppy crashes ashore with  a punch,we get 15 killer tracks that get the job done. Sure it may be more of the same but it's  pretty damn  good, so why change? Highlights include: "Patada Trueno", " Evasión Y Victoria", " Surf´n´turf " and "Espiral Cósmica "
      Once again  Los Tiki Phantoms have  delivered the goods with "El Misterio Del Talisman". But then again if you know anything about these kats you kinda  know that's the case .In fact this may just be their best yet,it's that good! Highly Recommended!!!

Jenny And The Lovers - Strangelove 2015


When it comes to Jenny and The Lovers the one thing you always read and hear is "Big Beat Red Hot Rock-A-Boogie". Well that's not far off the mark,this Berlin based outfit is known for their brand of 50's inspired rock n roll/rockabilly with an influx  of blues, surf, country and more, that's damn hard to resist.The band's 2012  debut album "Film Noir" is more that solid and managed to gain some international attention.Now their back with the sophomore effort "Strangelove" and let's just  say that they have upped their game.This puppy strolls in with 16 tracks that are a pretty good bang for your buck.We get a mix of covers that range from slow burners to ballads to straight up rockers. Jenny And The Lovers flex their musical muscles and cover a lot of ground here from rock n roll to blues,rockabilly,country and even a little taste of spaghetti(surf). Hell there is even some banjo action going on and you gotta like that.  Highlights include:"Queen Of The Jungle", " I Don't Know Nuthin'" ,"Hobo Blues" and "Gas, Grease & Glory"
  With "Strangelove" Jenny And The Lovers  have delivered an interesting,fun and fresh album that's diffidently worth throwing a few bucks down on. Keep a eye on these kats. Recommended. https://www.facebook.com/jennyandthelovers?fref=ts   http://www.jennyandthelovers.com/
