Slapback Johnny – Hit Me Up 2018

  If your looking for high octane  rockabilly,the Dutch rockabilly trio Slapback Johnny will definitely be the shot you need.These cats have been dishing out a sweet stew of "red hot rockabilly" mixed in with some jump blues and straight up rock n roll since 2012. With 3 damn stout singles under their belts ,fans of the band have been calling out for an album .While the wait is over and the band has dropped their killer debut; "Hit Me Up" and man they are laying down the law.This puppy crashes down the door with 13 original killer tracks.From high impact rockabilly to driving jump blues ,swing and rock n roll, this is one thrill ride you want to join in on .Only once, on "Last Night" do they lift the pedal.We also get all but one of  their  previous released tracks.  Highlights include: "You've Been Told", "One Last Shot", "Bombshell",Ball n Chain" and "Hit Me Up".

       
      Slapback Johnny really nail it here and as a result "Hit Me Up" is one of the years best albums It's a powerful outing that's totally enjoyable, fun and leaves you wanting more.Highly recommended!!!

Greasemarks - S/T 2018

The Greasemarks are all about "nasty rockabilly".Since emerging from the wastelands of Southern Ontario back in 2007, they have survived numerous line up changes, gain a loyal following but more importantly: earned great word of mouth.Despite a small but strong discography they have landed spots on the biggest rockabilly festivals in North America .Back in 2017 ,that word of mouth helped them land  a well deserved deal with Wild Records . The result is the new  album, "Greasemarks" and to no surprise ,it's pretty damn stout.This puppy punches in with 12 tracks of "nasty rockabilly" that score a direct hit.We get 10 tracks written by the band and two previous unreleased  tracks  written by Big Rude Jake, "Knock'Em Down" and "You Come Undone" by Ronnie Hayward.They also rerecorded "Meatshakes" (a previous single).From a slow burner  to all out rockers there isn't a weak track to be found here. Hell it's easily their best effort yet. Highlights include:  "She's Wild", "Wolf Trash", the instrumental " Black Dice" "Jungle Savage Suzie".

   
     The Greasemarks stay the course with this self titled album and are on top of their game here.It's a straight up winner and one you should grab.Highly recommended!!

The Jack O' Bones - On The Loose 2018

          After 2 freakin' damn good albums  The Jack O' Bones have proven to be contenders.Hell their brand of  " Psychotic rock n roll " is not only refreshing,it's also damn fun. Over time they also have developed their own distinct sound that's a kool mix of old school psychobilly,punk,rockabilly and straight up rock n roll.With their third and latest album,"On The Loose" they tear it up and score a direct hit.Not holding back,this snarling puppy clocks in with 12 original tracks that have The Jack O' Bones in fine form.It's also the third time they have worked with producer Philip Dolye (aka Doyley ) of Diablo Records .So you just know it's going to be good.From start to finish this has a vibe and groove that will have you up and shaking. Highlights include: " I Ain't No Hipster", "Long Time Dead", "Grace", "Don't Look Back" and "Feel So Bad".

         
       Bottom line here " On The Loose" is a killer album and it's the band's best effort so far.It's also one of the years best It's catchy as hell,never in your face and your neighbours will think your the koolest one on the block when you crank it. Highly recommended!!!
