Since forming only a couple of years ago (late 2012) Lew Lewis and The Twilight Trio have done a solid job getting their name out there.First they quickly put out a demo cd,played a whack of gigs ,developed a good rep and then went to Western Star Studios to work on their debut album.One thing you have to know about these guys is that there is some serious pedigree(Jack Rabbit Slim and Rocket 88) here and that sure isn't going to hurt .The band's debut album "Red Hot Baby" has hit the streets and it's one smokin' fine disc that is hard to resist.This puppy sways back and fourth from rockabilly to the blues and comes off as a kool rock n roll album.There is an underlining vibe here that you just can't shake.Highlights include: " Stroll Earthquake","Crazy Little Mama","Fool Around" and "How Could You Be So Mean".

The Psychonauts - Do the Hoochie-Coochie-Trash-a-Billy Stomp 2014
There is a few bands that go by the name The Psychonauts and most of them suck .Hell there are even two psychobilly bands with the name and you don't see that every day.The Psychonauts that concern us are the psychobilly/rockabilly band from Switzerland and this outfit is pretty damn good .Hell there kinda funny ,a bit out there and have a rep for been a killer band .Despite only having a couple of demos and been around since 2009,their rep is strong enough that people have just assumed they have an album or 2 out but sadly that not the case until now .The band's debut album "Do the Hoochie-Coochie-Trash-a-Billy Stomp" is now out and let's just say this is helluva fun ride. Clocking in with 12 tracks that will get you off your ass ,this is one puppy that's hard to resist. This may sit at the corner of psychobilly and rockabilly but it's injected with "Garage Trash",punk and straight up rock n roll.Highlights include: "The Psychonauts"," Southside","Let`s Go" and the title track "Hoochie Coohie Trash 'a' Billy Stomp".
Marc & The Wild Ones - She Put A Spell On Me 2014
You gotta give it to Marc & The Wild Ones since blasting onto the scene in 2011 they have continually been damn impressive.Right from the get go these young upstarts put out a killer debut album "The Rockin' Beat Of" and have earned a rep as a kool and must see band. Their brand of rockabilly/ rock n roll is fresh and nothing short of infectious. If there was any doubt about how good they are it can be put to rest .The release of "She Put A Spell On Me" proves these kats are for real.No sophomore jinx here as this puppy delivers the goods.We get 13 originals and 1 cover that firmly stay on the rockabilly/rock n roll path .You could say that this is just what you would expect but this time out the song writing is much stronger and more consistent.Also the band shows some restraint at times(a good thing) and that helps to put the album over .Highlights include: "Be Boppin' Baby ","Little Ann","Real Rockin Baby " and "I Love My Baby".
Marc & The Wild Ones are diffidently a band that's on a mission and "She Put A Spell On Me" proves that this outfit is top shelf .Highly recommended ! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Marc-The-Wild-Ones-Official/197824643640740?sk=timeline http://www.marcandthewildones.de/

The Altar Billies - Head'n Out West 2014
The Altar Billies to say the least are one interesting band.These kats have been kicking around Orange County,California now for about 7 years and despite been one of the better West Coast bands they kinda remain a secret. What they play isn't your typical rockabilly it's like a hot stew of rockabilly and roots with splashes of country ,punk, Americana, hillbilly, gospel and at times they come off like cow punk.That said they are truly a unique rockabilly band .The band's output consist of a self-tilted album in 2012 and a handful of singles.All of which are top shelf by the way. So now in 2014 the band has dropped their sophomore album "Head'n Out West" and this puppy is a diffident head turner .Clocking in with 15 tracks(9 of which are new and the rest have appeared before as singles and or videos) that make for one strong and kool rockabilly/roots mash up . The Altar Billies have never been afraid of mixing things up and that's part of their strength .Highlights include : "Standing On the Rock","Is It Me?","Head'n Out West" and the stellar "I'm Still Stand'n".

Furious - From The Cavern To California
Much has been said about Liverpool's Teddy-boy rockers Furious and pretty well all of it is positive .This is a rock n roll band that really brings it on .Since forming in 2005 these kats have earned a great rep as a killer live band. In 2007 they released the attention grabbing ep "Asbo Shuffle" and then their stellar debut album "Wreck The Hoose Juice" in 2010 ,both basically cemented them as a band to watch.In 2012 the band put out the kool single "The Teds Don't Need A King" which was the also their last Nervous Records release .Last year the band signed with Wild Records and the results are now out. The newly released "From The Cavern To California" is nothing short of a blast of rock n roll and I'm talking ass-kicking rock n roll .Coming in with 12 tracks full of attitude that have the muscle to back it up,Furious have delivered a wake up call here.This is rock n roll with a whole lot of Teddyboy and a little rockabilly thrown in too boot. For the most part this is uptempo and in your face but there is also a few slower numbers .Highlights include: "Evil Little Eye", "Bucky Is My Baby", "Valley Of Doom" and "I'm Gonna Wash My Hands Of You".
