The Black Moon Boys - Nuthouse 2018

  Every year there are a few releases that one gets excited about and one of those releases for me is The Black Moon Boys debut album. Like many folks ,these Montreal rockabilly cats hooked me in when they dropped their stellar  self-titled ep back in early 2016.That ep caught a lot of people off guard, got a whack of airplay,not only in Canada but also internationally  and still gets a fair share of airplay today.Their debut album; "Nuthouse" is now here and this puppy doesn't disappoint.Hell this is one blast of fun, refreshing hip shaking rockabilly.We get 10 original tracks and 1 cover.Two of the tracks are from their ep. From straight up rockabilly to all out rockers,a slow burner and a little 50's inspired rock n rock ,this is one sweet ride.Highlights include: "Sharkbait", "Time To Go", "Truth Or Dare" and "Nuthouse".

       
     Not only does "Nuthouse" live up to expectations, it surpasses them.It will color you impressed and leaves you wanting more.You know it's damn stout  when even the christmas song is freakin' kool.One of the years best by a band you should know. Highly recommended!!

Vince & The Sun Boppers - Gone For Lovin' 2016

 Italian cats  Vince & The Sun Boppers have only been around for a couple years as a group but it's one that's stacked with some major pedigree.In some cases that pedigree when mixed can fall flat,however here the results are very good. The band released a killer 4 song ep (2014 on Sleazy Records) that showed that this is an outfit that can deliver some serious rockabilly that's also fun to boot. The band is now on Rhythm Bomb Records and have just dropped their debut album " Gone For Lovin' ". This is one impressive disc that comes in with 12 original tracks of authentic rockabilly  that will have you shakin'. If  your looking for a pure  50's rockabilly/rock n roll sound it doesn't get any better than this.Hell it sounds like it could be on the original Sun label.Highlights include: "Devil Eyes", " Black Haired Woman", "Ooh My Baby" and " Dance With Sally"

   
 There are no dogs on "Gone For Lovin' " ,it's just solid rockabilly from start to finish. This is well written,produced and executed rockabilly that will color you impressed .Highly recommended!

B And The Bops - All Tangled Up!

 B And The Bops have managed to grab people's  attention even since 2008 when 2 of their songs landed on the "Crockabilly" compilation. Their brand of authentic rockabilly  and 50's rock n roll  is not only impressive but it's also fun..Add a couple of singles and a kool  debut album, "Don't Stop The Rock Bop" and these kats have developed a pretty good rep.The bands sophomore album, " All Tangled Up!" will only  cement their reputation.This puppy clocks in at just under 30 minutes with 15 tracks that nail it.We get hit with some serious fun  rockabilly /rock n roll that's just what the doctor order.Even the slower tracks bop pretty good. No messing around here folks this is short and sweet and you gotta like that .Highlights include: " Tangled Boogie" , " Spitzmaus ", " Breathin' Down My Neck (fast)" and " Hot To Trot "

         Overall  "All Tangled Up!" is the best release so far from these kats and you just know there's more too come.This is sharp, well done rockabilly by a band to keep an eye on.
