Jittery Jack - Gonna Have A Time With... 201

Jittery Jack has always delivered the goods so to speak .From his days with The Raging Teens to his solo career he (and bandmates) has always produced damn  fine and solid rockabilly/ rock n roll.It also may be hard for some to believe that Jittery  has only released   one mini album (self titled)  and the full length album "Gone Plum Crazy" as a solo artist so far.Well he's back now with a real kool disc entitled " Gonna Have A Time With  Jittery Jack". This puppy strolls in with a mix of 8 originals and 5 covers for your listening,dinning and dancing pleasure.It's just what you would expect from Jittery Jack and his killer band.We get 50's inspired rock n roll,rockabilly and a little hillbilly.  Highlights include: "Gonna Have A Time"," Peek-A-Boo Honey","Let's Get Loose" and the stellar "Something Wicked This Way Comes".

                             
        Let's make this easy: you should have "Gonna Have A Time With...."  in your collection. From start to finish this is one album that is simply top shelve! Highly recommended! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jittery-Jack/123690897657839?sk=timeline  

MentalBait - These Killing Nights 2014

Since emerging from the dark woods of Belarus, MentalBait has been on a mission.In a very short time they have managed to create some major buzz and have really back it up too boot.These cats play tough and hard  psychobilly that you just can't ignore.Hell word is that Crazy Love Records signed them on the strength of a 2 song demo. That said the band's debut album "These Killing Nights" is one impressive effort.Clocking in with 13 psycho rockers that  for the most part don't take the foot off the gas,this puppy has more than enough energy  to go around.Highlights include: " Cult Of Guns","Mad At You","8-Ball Rolling" and the surfy "Surfin' With Azathoth ".
        There is a really good blend here of old school and modern psychobilly,so you just know "These Killing Nights" will appeal to pretty well all fans of the genre.At the end of the day MentalBait  have made a big statement here and  you should check these young upstarts out .

The Wolftones - Red Light Blues 2014

Over the years there have been plenty of bands that have dabbled in  rockabilly-blues and some  have  made careers out of it .Hell  a lot of  the  rockabilly blues that is out there is pretty damn good .Which brings us to the English  upstarts, The Wolftones.The buzz and real word of mouth about these kats is pretty impressive .Self described as a Neo-Rockin-A-Billy-Blues band they are known for their distinct and kinetic sound. One reason for that is due to the band's use of the harmonica,it's part of their sound and up front  not a throw in here or there. The band's debut album,fittingly is called "Neo-Rockin-A-Billy-Blues" was nothing short of killer.So you just know the pressure has been on to deliver a damn strong sophomore album . Well  "Red Light Blues" is now here and the bar for rockabilly-blues has just been raised.From start to finish we get 12 original tracks that snarl ,bark, bite and don't back down.These dudes aren't throwing their punches here, this is stronger,more consistent  and better then their debut.Highlights include "Red Light Blues"," Shot Down"," No Matter" and "Sold My Soul".
    The Wolftones sound like their on a mission here and " Red Light Blues" will light a fire under under anyone's ass .It's that good ! Highly recommended!!  https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Wolftones-UK/274316179290953 

         

The Booze Bombs - Out Of Time 2014

If you don't know who The Booze Bombs  are, you should.Since coming out of of Germany's Black Forrest  in 2004 these kats  have quietly managed to release 4 smart and solid albums and have earned themselves  a rep as a killer  rockabilly /rock n roll band.Also over time they have developed a pretty good following on both sides of the Atlantic and that's not an easy thing to do. If you want to know just how good they are, all you have to do is check out their 5th and  latest  album "Out Of Time ". This puppy comes at you with 13 (9 originals and 4 covers)  rock solid tracks  that hook and  reel you in. You could say it's just what you would expect from The Booze Bombs ,infectious rockabilly / rock n roll .  From straight out rockers to a little country and a fair mix of  blues, this  just may be the band's best effort yet and that's saying something.         Highlights include: " I Still Cry" , " Rooster In The Henhouse "," It's About Ten" and the cover of "Black Rat Swing". 
 Bottom line is that  "Out Of Time" is one pretty sweet album that truly delivers the goods  and one you should have. Recommend!!    https://www.facebook.com/TheBoozeBombs      http://www.boozebombs.de

Crazy Aces – Surfadelic Spy-A-Go-Go 2014

You could say that back in 2012 Nashville's  Crazy Aces  stunned the surf scene with their remarkable debut album "Greatest Hits Volume 2". Here was a surf band that kinda came out of nowhere and basically delivered a knock out blow.These kats sounded like seasoned pros having a blast,funny thing  is they are seasoned pros but not when it comes to surf music.The band's members are serious "stage and session players" and have worked for some big names .So the Crazy Aces are basically a fun band that really digs surf music  and just happen to be killer at it .All which brings us to the band's sophomore effort   "Surfadelic Spy-A-Go-Go" a splendid follow up to their debut  that shows these guys are for real and pretty damn good.This puppy rides the board  in with 11 original , kool and fun  tracks of surf that are hard to resist .
 Like on their previous release  we get a mix bag of surf ranging from traditional to  spaghetti to spy all with a ton of reverb, tremolo and  twang.Highlights include: " Agent Yellow Jacket" ,"Temple of Cool" ," Thrown Away" and  "Big Dog".

       The Crazy Aces   are one band that's fun ,have swagger and back it up. You don't have to be a fan of surf to like or get this,it's that good. Bottom line is that "Surfadelic Spy-A-Go-Go"  is one freakin' solid and killer album. Highly recommended!!   https://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic     http://www.reverbnation.com/crazyacesmusic
