The Minestompers - Porno Mags & Body Bags 2019

  Back in 2015 The Minestompers  released their self titled album.Its's a fast, loose and action pack affair that put these Cologne cats on the map and rightfully so. Playing a brand of psychobilly that's infused with sleazy punk, surf to  trash,rockabilly and straight up  rock n roll.Now they are back with their sophomore  release "Porno Mags & Body Bags" and this is one fun and trashy dark  ride.Punching in with 12 originals and 1 cover of mayhem that kicks you in the butt and it's all good.This time they stay the course, throw in a little harp action   and ratchet up their game.It's a vigorous effort that doesn't take itself too seriously and has a kool vibe through out.

The Nevrotix - Alive 2017/2018

  Back in 2016 the young upstarts, The Nevrotix blew out the doors with their excellent debut album "Paranoid". Without a doubt it was easily one of the best albums of 2016. Their brand of old school psychobilly mixed with neo rockabilly is not only refreshing but it's also freakin' catchy.Now they are back with the sophomore effort "Alive" and man this puppy really ups the game.Proving their debut album was no fluke, The Nevrotix come out swinging hard  with 13 original tracks.Once again we get that kool old school psychobilly/neo rockabilly mixture but this time out the sound is more beefier and stronger.Hell these cats are flexing their muscles here and one has to be colored  impressed.There isn't a week track to be found here .Highlights include: "The Hatching", "The Plague", "No Name", " Nervous Beat" and "Fire Train".

   
      The Nevrotix are like a fine tuned engine on "Alive".It's got the horsepower and doesn't disappoint. It's a no brain here,they're a damn good  but I don't think we really knew just how good .This is 100 % top shelf and a diffident must have . Highly recommended!!!

Klax - Last Zyborg 2017

It's been around 5 years now since the Texan Psycho's Klax released their fine debut album "Recycle-Billy". A more than solid slab of old school inspired psychobilly that put them on the map.Over the past few years they have kept pretty busy and have managed to garner a strong following.Now Klax is back with their sophomore album " Last Zyborg" and this time out the game has changed in a big and ballsy way.Instead of staying the course they have slammed on the breaks and veered into  meaner,darker and more aggressive psychobilly. Add into the mix cyber punk and some shades of thrash and the result is one powerful and impressive album.But here's the real kicker : this is a sci-fi themed concept album about  lazy humans,androids and cyborgs in a bleak,corrupt future.You got to give it to Klax not just for trying this but also for pulling it off. The story is told in 10 chapters that move at a kinetic pace and hold your attention from start to finish. Also pretty much each track(chapter) can stand on it's own and that makes the album even stronger.

 
      Klax have really put themselves out there with "Last Zyborg" and the result is pretty damn kool .One can argue that  in someways this is a groundbreaking album for psychobilly.Some will debut that but no matter how you cut it this is a killer album with a story to tell. Highly Recommended!

Knuckles - Fist Fury 2016

Once in a while a new band comes along and just nails it.Case in point, the Knuckles out of Finland and man these cats really rock.They may be new but there is a whack of pedigree here and it shows  This is high octane speed rock meets psychobilly and it's done very well. The band's debut album "Fist Fury" delivers on it's title in more ways than one. We get an intro,10 full throttle tracks and one kool acoustic track that come at you hard and fast .Yeah it's speed rock with a whack of punk and it's more psychobilly than punkabilly. It's also well written and executed and that makes for one hell of a ride.Highlights include: "Mouth Wide Slut", "Dust & Bones", "Psychopath" and "Drunken Fury"

    It maybe a debut album but " Fist Fury" is flat out killer.It takes no prisoners and you may want to buckle up for this one.Highly recommended!!

The Nevrotix - Paranoid 2016

Once in a while a band comes down the pike that truly stands apart.Case in point ,The Nevrotix  these young upstarts from Sweden released a killer 4 song ep/ demo in late 2014.By mid 2015 these kats had garnered a whack of airplay around the globe as well as some serious buzz.Their brand of old school psychobilly with the right mix of neo rockabilly comes off strikingly fresh and modern. A lot of people,including myself are and were excited about the band's full album debut.Well it's now here ,call "Paranoid" and it's a real doozie. This puppy roars in with 11 original tracks of rockin' psychobilly that's hard not to like.All 4 of the songs from the demo are here and the rest of the tracks are as good and / or  better.As a result this is one really strong album that delivers in spades.Highlights include: " Mad About You", " Rampton Rage", "Hyena Bop", and " Moon Monster".

You gotta give it to a band that let's itself be promoted as "Colognes most hated retards".
