 One of America's  most dangerous bands is on a roll.I'm talkin' about The Lucitones here and with 2  mighty fine eps and a killer debut album already under their belts, these psychobilly cats have become top contenders. If that wasn't enough their latest and best release yet " Three Moons" is now out and it's flat out killer.This puppy attacks with confidence and delivers a knock out punch .We get 12 servings of  a tasty brew of  psychobilly, rock n roll and punk.Also all 3 tracks from the 2018 ep "Mark Of The Wolf" appear here. It's a psychobilly album that has fun and means business.Highlights include:  "Change The Locks","Mark Of  Cain", "Haunted Halls","Swingin' By The Door" and "Her Crypt In The Woods" .

     
      Sure I admit I'm a of The Lucitones, but believe me if your not already fan give "Three Moons" a spin and you will be.It's that good and one of the best this year too boot.Highly recommended!!!

The Thirsty Crows - Hangman's Noose 2018

Over the years the Los Angeles psychobilly has gained a rep as a tough scene to get noticed in.Part of the reason is that a lot of the band's kinda sound the same.  Back in 2011, The Thirsty Crows came onto the scene with their self coined  "South Bay Rockabilly" sound.It's less rockabilly and more psychobilly with a huge shot of spaghetti,it's also damn kool.That sound helped the band get noticed and separated them  from the pack.They started out as a 3 piece ,put out a sweet self titled ep in 2014 and then morphed into a 4 piece,which gave them a fuller and  more dangerous sound.Then in late 2017 they signed up with Batcave Records.The result of all this is their debut album,  "Hangman's Noose", a stout release that hits with  confidence and scores a direct punch . Coming in with 14 tracks of modern psychobilly packed with a whack of spaghetti, some punk,rockabilly and a tinge of Americana .All 5 songs from the band's ep are redone here and long time fans won't be disappointed.It's a sweet and dark ride that surprises.Highlights include: " Hangman's Noose"," Heart Attack"," Midnight Rumble" and "Vengeful Son"

   
       Overall, "Hangman's Noose" is a well balanced ,and well produced effort that never gets heavy handed.The Thirsty Crows are a band that mean business here and this puppy cuts the mustard.Recommended!

Voodoo Zombie - Reviresco 2018

  

 It's been almost 6 years now since Voodoo Zombie's last release,the single "Zombiewalk"(2012).While they are back and in a big way with their third album, "Reviresco". This time out they are on the new upstart label Batcave Records.Whats not new is that they worked again with Rene De La Muerte (The Brains). So you just know that  "Reviresco" is one damn rockin' affair .Pulling no punches we get an intro,a radio spot and 10 original tracks of stout and catchy psychobilly.Two of the tracks have previously been released , "Armor Psycho" and "Zombiewalk" are reworked here .This is psychobilly that at times has a hard rock edge but the band mixes it up.From an acoustic driven number to all out psycho rockers.Highlights include: "La Llamada De Cthulu", "Un Mejor Cadillac", "Amarte Es Peligroso" and "El Mesias"

   

  

 Voodoo Zombie have scored a winner with "Reviresco" It's well produced  and has a great vibe.It's easily their best effort yet and shows that they have a lot more to offer up. It's a powerful and fun ride that you want to get in on. Highly recommended!!
