Sharna-Mae & The Mayhems - Love Drunk 2016


Since forming in 2015, young up starts Sharna-Mae & The Mayhems  have been on a pretty fast track.They have played on some major bills, developed a solid fan base and have some serious buzz around them.Hell they even got the attention of Western Star Records.One reason for their popularity is because they play fun and fresh  rockabilly and do it well.The band hit the studio  in February of this year and now their debut has dropped.So is the band worthy and live up to the buzz,while judging by their debut disc "Love Drunk" the answer is yes.Clocking in with 10 originals and 2 covers of mainly rockabilly as well as some country and rock n roll added into the mix.Ranging from kool rockers to a country ballad and it's all good.Throw in both female and male lead vocals and you get an album that has a pretty good flow and vibe about it .Hell this is a great sounding album.Highlights include : "Hot Rod Girl","Sugar In The Tank", "No Good Lover" and "Love Drunk".
 Sharna-Mae & The Mayhems are diffidently a band to keep an eye on and "Love Drunk" bares that out.This is a pretty strong debut that's fun, aims to impress and succeeds.Recommended!

Matchless - Pills & Blades 2016


When Matchless formed back in 2007 the buzz was that these kats would fill the void of The Gutter Demons.There was unfairly high expectations leveled on the band to say the least.In 2009 the band released the solid and good  ep "Don't Leave Your Day Job" and it left many wondering about them(again unfair). The ep was more rockabilly/rock n roll and not psychobilly.Then in 2010 they released the excellent debut album "Randomly Generated Numbers", a kool mix bag of rock n rock.From straight up rock n roll to roots to billy and punk, all done with a raw edge.Now in 2016 there back with the  sophomore album "Pills & Blades" and this puppy is nothing short of a knock out punch.This is 15 tracks of snarly killer hard rock/psychobilly that's all done with a punk sneer.Hell this is one damn smokin' album that kicks in hard and doesn't let up.No week track here and as a result this is one really consistent effort that truly delivers.Standouts include: " King’s Ransom", "Afterbite", " Pills & Blades","One in a Billion" and "Tunica Molesta"
    Matchless have diffidently stepped up their game on "Pills & Blades"and are a band that just keeps getting better  each time out.In short this is one tough, confident  and one stellar album that you should grab up.Highly recommended!!!!

Fifty Foot Combo - S/T 2016


Fifty Foot Combo, the kings of "Monstrophonic" sound are back and ready to kick ass in a big way. If you don't know who Fifty Foot Combo  are you should. Back in 2006 and after 6 albums these kats packed it in. Their brand of wild garage,surf and trashy rock n roll had made them one of the best bands out there.They were popular ,had a killer rep,were in your face and they always delivered the goods.Back in 2012 the band got back to together and started playing gigs .In 2014 they really started to get out and have released a couple of singles (2014, 2016) with guest vocalist.Now in 2016 they're back with a self titled album,their first  since 2004. So the big question is it any good.While hell yeah, it's damn good and these kats aren't holding back.We get 13 tracks of kool, at times raw and intense garage/surf  rock n roll.In other words just what you would expect. From wall of sound to spaghetti infused to garage to surf and  a little psychedelic the band covers a lot of ground and does it well.Hell we even get 2 versions of "Wild Man"  Highlights include : "Accident Or Incident", "Decompression", "The Maker" and "The Descent"
        
    Fifty Foot Combo are on a mission here and this is right up there with their best works.Not a easy feat.This is loud, proud and just killer rock n roll.Highly Recommended!!!

The Real Gone Tones - Hot Mess 2016

Since  2011 the Polish  outfit The Real Gone Tones  have quietly developed a solid  rep as a pretty fine rockabilly/rock n roll band.One reason for the band's appeal is that they much more than just a rockabilly band.These kats willing stray into country, rhythm'n'blues, even swing and do it well. Throw in both male and female  vocal leads and the results are one strong outfit.   Their 2015  debut album  "So Cool" is an impressive effort that managed to solidify the band as a top notch act and  garner the notice of El Toro Records.With the El Toro signing the band has wasted no time getting out their sophomore effort, "Hot Mess". No sophomore jinx here as this puppy strolls, bops  and rocks pretty damn good.We get 14 originals and 1 cover of mainly rockabilly and rock n roll. With some shades of the blues,country and rhythm'n'blues added in. The result is one kool mix that's totally enjoyable. Highlights include: "  Cranky Wagon", "Rock'n'Roll Hiccup", "Slum Fun", " Mean" and " Laundromat"
       Overall "Hot Mess " is a strong, fun and brisk album that's hard to resist.The Real Gone Tones have released another fine album and you should keep an eye on these kats.Highly recommended.                           https://www.facebook.com/TheRealGoneTones/

The Test Pilots - Parachute Party 2016


In early 2015 The Test Pilots came screaming out of Sweden with one hell of an ep entitled "Deadly Rhythms". These kats totally caught  pretty much all of the psychobilly/rockabilly crowd off-guard .The band then preceded to gain major international airplay and praise.Their brand of psychobilly/neo-rockabilly is strikingly fresh,exciting and full of potential.Now with the release of their debut album " Parachute Party" The Test Pilots are smacking down their hand and it's one that's hard to beat. We get 10 tracks here (9 new) that you can't help but dig.This is modern psychobilly with  old school flare and a stiff shot of neo rockabilly.At times it sounds familiar but it always sounds original and fresh,it's not your typical psychobilly. Highlights include: " The Blob", "Jumble Stomp", "Deadly Rhythms", Thin Blue Line" and "Flipped Out,Twisted n' Trashed".
        You just know these guys don't hold to the usual constraints of psychobilly and that's a good thing.  The Test Pilots are one seriously talented outfit and "Parachute Party" bears that out. This is a killer album from start to finish and one you should snap up. Highly recommended!!   https://www.facebook.com/thetestpilots/timeline
