Tallboys - One 2013


One of the most anticipated albums of this year has to be the Tall Boys "One". This legendary band has never really released an official album until now.From 1983-87 the band put out some singles, an ep and a mini album .In 1998 "Funtime" a complete works was released and in 2011 "Live at the Klub Foot" (recorded in 1985) came out and the band reformed and played  a few gigs .Earlier this year the band generated a fair amount of buzz (on both sides of the Atlantic) when they entered Camden Recording Studios to lay down an album.The resulting disc "One" is vintage Tall Boys  and that's a good thing.This is killer stuff folks and just what you would want and expect.Old school psychobilly meets garage, punk and rock n roll that's still unique and kool .This puppy slides in with some new,some old and a few covers that add up to one hell of an album.Highlights include:"Another Day ","River Of Fire","This Bird Will Fly" and  "The Man Who Walked On the Moon". 
      The Tall Boys are in fine form here and as a result "One "is diffidently one of the better albums to come down the pike this year.Hell it may even blow your socks off! Recommended.   https://www.facebook.com/TallBoysUKofficial

The Bullet Biters - Stranglers United 2013


Hailing from the frozen  wastelands of Finland  comes The Bullet Biters one of the best bands you probably never heard of.These psycho kats have been knocking them dead in their homeland since 2004.With 2 successful ep's under their belt the band has quietly gained a rep for been kinda kool.You could say that they are one of Finland's best kept secrets.Well hopefully that's going to change with the release of "Stranglers United" the band's debut album. This puppy crashes the door with 12 original psycho rockers that are just straight up kool.You could say  this modern psychobilly done with an old school take .It has a a familiarity to it but at the same time it's a breath of fresh air. Highlights include: "Strangler Of Deserted Beach', " Delirium Rock", "She´s My Mystery Girl"and  the sure fire butt-kicker "Voodoo Transit".
       Stranglers United is one of those albums that will appeal to more than just the psychobilly crowd .From the first track to the last it fires on all cylinders.How good is it ; you have to be a  brain dead kind of a guy not to like it.

The Devil 'n' Us – Devil's Music 2013


When The Devil 'n' Us burst onto the German music in 2012 they really created waves and a ton of buzz.After all these kats  are in or have been members of Mad Sin, Blue Rockin', Sunny Domestozs. Kimikaze Queens and the Frantic Flintstones.That's  impressive pedigree, no matter how you look at it.The 4 song ep they released last year was well received and validated all the buzz about them.So now the band is back with their debut album "Devil's Music" and it's one pretty strong album that's way more rock n roll than psychobilly.This puppy crashes in  with 13 tracks that will hook and haul  you in for one kool ride.We get some rockabilly,punk,psychobilly and even a little saxophone that all combine to make one kool rock n roll stew.Highlights include: "Arise"," The Devil In Me", "Borrowed Wings"  and "Three Questionmarks"

        Devil's Music is a diverse platter that will plesantly surprise many and it is one of the better releases so far in 2013 ,it's that good. Recommended  https://www.facebook.com/TheDevilnUs   http://www.reverbnation.com/thedevilnus

Koffin Kats – Born Of The Motor 2013


Detroit's finest The Koffin Kats has to be one of the hardest working outfits there this.It seems that these kats have been constantly on the road since 2003.As a result the band has quite a substantial following  and deservedly so  With the release of their 7th album "Born Of The Motor "the band has upped the ante.Charging in with 12 tracks that for the most part kick butt.We get the trademark psychobilly you would expect but at times the tone and feel  is a bit different . Without a doubt this is the band's most personal album yet and arguably their best.Highlights include:"The Collector"," This Heart (Stays On Ice)","Giving Blood" and the title track " Born Of The Motor".


 If anything  "Born Of The Motor" cements The Koffin Kats as one of the best psychobilly/punk bands out there.The band has never sounded this good or tight.Hell they still sound lean ,mean and hungry.You gotta like that.
