The Royal Flush - Moonshine Truck 2015

Have to be honest here: I had never heard of the Royal Flush until just recently and when I actually first heard them I was blowin' away. Hailing from Switzerland  these kats formed back in 2006 and have been laying down some serious "raw and wild" rockabilly/rock n roll.Hell  Rockabilly Stomp Records(the same people who are behind  the successful  Rockabilly Stomp Weekenders)  made The Royal Flush their first signing.The result is the band's debut album "Moonshine Truck" and this puppy is pretty damn stout.Clocking in with 14 tracks that will color you impressed .From start to finish we get killer straight up rockabilly/rock n roll that doesn't let up.No filler here folks, this is all good.Highlights include: "We Wanna Rock, Rock Wanna Roll", " Friday Night", " Moonshine Truck" and "Let's Roll". 

          No matter how you slice it, this is an impressive album. Having been  recorded at the Black Shack Studio only adds to the end result. One of the best this year and a must have Highly recommended!!!

The Bombs - Don't Wait Too Long 2014

Since 2001 this southern German outfit has been dishing out some very likeable rock n roll / rockabilly and have earned a rep as a top shelf band.Over the years the band has released 2 albums, the last one, 2009's  " Straight From The Bar" managed to create a whack of interest in the band and rightfully so.It's been 5 years since that release so now the band has dropped  the apply named  album "Don't Wait Too Long". This puppy comes strolling in 16 original and  highly likeable tracks that range from rock n roll to  rockabilly to country.This is one diverse and strong  album  but then again if your familiar with the band,it's just what you would expect.Highlights include: " Do The Bop ", " It's Hot ", " Desert Eagle" and " I Know Any Heartache Is For Me".

           
          This is a sweet sounding album that is very fresh, lively and if I dare say ,kinda hip in a way .It may have taken  The Bombs  a few years to release  "Don't Wait Too Long" but they have never sounded better.That's reason enough to cough up a few bucks for the album.
