The House Of Haunt - Monsters On The Loose 2014

The big smoke known as Toronto,Canada has never really had a strong psychobilly scene,whereas the rockabilly scene has been pretty solid. Toronto  has produced a  number of rockabilly bands but psychobilly bands have been few and far between.Don't believe me ,go ahead and  start naming .It's kinda of a weird void .Back in 2011 the young upstarts The House Of Haunt crawled out of the depths of hell onto the T.O. scene. Needless  it's been a tough go but they have managed to crave out a bit of territory for themselves.Playing a brand of horror influenced psychobilly that's full of evil mayhem and fun.It's also psychobilly that's fleshed out with both strong male/ female lead vocals and at times driven by keyboards .That said the band released  the kool  Highway Horror cd single back in 1212 and it  has managed to garner some strong air play on billy based radio in Canada.
   Now in 2014 the band has dropped their debut album "Monsters On The Loose " onto the unsuspecting public and this little monster is surprisingly strong.Bashing in with 12 original tracks that  include 2 live tracks ,some older tracks that have been released in the past  and a whack of new songs. We get a kool mix, from slow burners to straight up psycho rockers and a chunk of punk and rock n roll tossed in for good measure.Highlights include:  "Evil Feeds",""Dead", "Devil's Promise" and "The House Of Haunt".

    With " Monsters On The Loose" The House Of Haunt  have released an album that is energetic, strong and diverse.You may want to check this one out and maybe keep an eye on these guys.Recommended.

The Huaraches - Steal Second 2014

Last year  Canuck  surf punkers ,The Huaraches firmly planted themselves on the map with their  killer debut album "Ride!" .Hell these boy's appeared to come out of nowhere, nailed it and created a buzz that was and is bigger than even they were aware of .Not sitting back The Huaraches have decided too strike back hard and fast ,the result is the band's sophomore release " Steal Second" .This puppy washes up with  8 kool  tracks that meld traditional surf with modern surf and  leans more toward  Man or Astroman than say the Ventures.The band delivers a stronger, harder and more punched up effort here that's sure to impress. Highlights include: "Mudsharks,Away","Phasers!Zap!Blam!Kill!,"I Guano Rock" and the stellar "Defending Go-Kart Champions" 

     

		Just like on their debut "Ride!", The Huaraches don't waste any time here,"Steal Second" zooms in at under 17 minutes.It may be short but it's sweet  and killer too boot .Basically just what you would expect but only better this time .No screwing around   The Huaraches  have stepped up big time .Beware! Highly recommended!    http://thehuaraches.com/   https://www.facebook.com/thehuaraches

The Blackrats - Shake Your Brain! 2014

When it comes to Halifax, Nova Scotia 's  Blackrats  the one thing you hear over and over again is that this is one fun band.Hell they maybe a horrorbilly /psychobilly band but they come off like a kool rock n roll band that doesn't take itself too seriously.If you want proof just check out their debut album 2011"s " Horrorbilly For Hire" and the 2013's ep "King Of Monsters". Both  pretty damn good and  thoroughly enjoyable.Recently the band singed with Splatterhouse Wreckords , a move that a few followers of the band found surprising considering their sound. Well the results are now out and "Shake Your Brain" is one very impressive album.We get 13 original  tracks that ooze horrorbilly,psychobilly  to rock n roll  that is pushed along hard  with a ton of killer saxophone.Yes it's more of the same but this more aggressive,bolder and bigger.Let's just say there's more meat on the bone and the result is the band's best effort yet.Highlights include: "They Attack", " Dance Of The Undead"," Goon Squad" and "Shake Your Brain".

 The Blackrats aren't your typical horrorbilly band and they shouldn't be locked into that label.This is a band that  keeps getting better and really transcends billy based music."Shake Your Brain" is a killer album that's a breath of fresh air and is a ton of fun.Highly recommended! https://www.facebook.com/theblackratsofficial/timeline  https://twitter.com/Blackratscity http://theblackrats.bandcamp.com/

The Tiki Creeps - Invaders from Beyond the Sound of Surf 2014

Since 

 Since 2012 Los  Angeles based The Tiki Creeps  have been laying down some killer surf music,they like to describe their  brand of surf as "Monstrously Soothing Instrumental Hot Rod Garage Surf Sounds". Well that's really not far off  mark.The band's debut album "Invaders from Beyond the Sound of Surf " is a blast of 7 tracks of surf and these guys aren't afraid to flex some muscle.We get a wide range of surf from traditional to garage to near smash mouth .Throw in some sci-phi, and hot rod sounds   with a surf punk attitude and the results are an explosive cocktail.Highlights include: "The Crawling Terror!","Sea Foam","Green Slime Are Coming" and "Buzz Bomb".

 With only 7 tracks  "Invaders from Beyond the Sound of Surf" clocks in around 22 minutes  and leaves you wanting more. That said this is a  fun ride and damn good  too boot.

Thee Epileptic Hillbillys - Take 2 2014

 Thee Epileptic Hillbillys are a band you can never count out. Hell back in 2012 the band's leader Billy Oxley suffered multiple heart attacks and the band was basically finished .Here was a band that really was on a roll with  2 truly killer albums in the bag, a growing world wide fan base and then it all appeared to end.Well  Billy Oxley and his band mates are back with a vengeance.Simply called  "Take Two",this puppy leaves no doubt that these kats still have it .Hell this is a great follow up to their last album"Insanity" .We get 12 tracks (9 originals) of old school psychobilly with a dash of hillbilly and rockabilly tossed into the mix.Just what the doctor ordered and what you  would expect.The band's sound has always been kinda of fresh and vital and that still remains .Highlights include: " For Heaven's Sake", "Alabama Monster Man"," You Ain't Nothin' But A Nothin' "and "Silly Games".

   There is nothing here not to like,"Take Two" is a very strong and well balanced disc .Like their 2 previous albums it was also produced by Alan Wilson (Western Star) and that consistency has definitively helped solidify the band's sound .Another killer album by a band  that's not only back but they're also firing on all pistons.Highly recommended.  https://www.facebook.com/thee.hillbillys

Johnny Legend - I Itch 2014

Johnny Legend also known as  the "Rockabilly Rasputin" is also a man that truly is a legend . You could say he's a modern-day Renaissance man ,hell the guy's done it all from trash film historian, wrestling manager to promoter,actor and producer .He was the man behind Rhino's Sleazemania and Teenage Theater  video series. Too boot he's also a card carrying  inductee of the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame and most people haven't a clue about him.That's right he's a rockabilly guy and has a few albums out and a fan base around the world .His last album is the kool  "Bitchin'",released in 1998 but he has continued to perform over the years.   
   Fans rightfully got excited in early 2013 when word got out that Mr. Legend was flying over to Finland to record a new album.While the long time coming disc is now out  and it's pretty solid .Simply titled "I Itch" and hits us with a kool mix of originals and covers ( 12 tracks in total). If your a fan of  Johnny Legend this is just what you would expect : rockabilly/rock n roll  with a sense of humor and maybe depending on your view a little offbeat. Highlights include: " I'd Rather Be a Bum"," I'm Loaded","Mexican Love" and the stellar " I Itch (Like a Sonuvabitch)".
       Just like in the past, Legend is backed by a really killer band ; The Fightin' Finnabillies (Sami Roine, Mika Railo, "Jami" Haapanen ,Miki Lamarr  and Boppin' Pete) and these cats really nail it here.Sure " I Itch"  may not be everyone's cup of tea but  if it's yours you'll love it.If it isn't  you may want to take a chance here cause this puppy is surprisingly good and has more than enough bark to grab your attention.
