Graveyard Johnnys - Dead Transmission 2015

Been a punkabilly band has never been an easy gig and doesn't change even when your damn good .There is always going to be a large pool of billy purist, psycho's and punkers that will have no use for you. The Graveyard Johnnys have been  and are one of the better punkabilly bands out there and they have a rep has one of the hardest working bands around.With  an album, a couple of singles,an ep a few split albums and also  a whack of compilation spots under their belts,this is a band that really doesn't get the attention they deserve.Hopefully the band's latest effort  " Dead Transmission " can change that.This puppy struts in with 10 tracks that  hit hard and fast with a kool positivity.The tracks range from mainly straight up punkabilly to rock n roll and this  helps gives a freshness to the album even when some of it sounds familiar. Highlights include: "I Won't Wait", "Little Witches",'The Poison" and "Dead Transmission"

         The Graveyard Johnnys are in fine form here and "Dead Transmission " is their best release yet and you may want to throw a few bucks down on it.Recommended.  https://www.facebook.com/graveyardjohnnysUK/timeline      http://www.graveyardjohnnys.com/

The Wreck Kings - Wrecking Machine 2015

 

Right from their start in 2009 The Wreck Kings have always been a bit out of the box for some psychobilly fans.These German Psycho's play quirky,kool,a bit different and at times chaotic psychobilly that dares you to like it.Hell that's what makes them appealing ,whether some people get it or not.The band's 2010 debut  "Under Pressure" is a solid effort that  managed to make some noise outside out Europe.After 5 years The Wreck Kings are back with their sophomore release "Wrecking Machine" and this puppy may surprise more than a few people that have written these kats off. Punching in with 14 originals this is one fresh and bumpy ride that ranges from psychobilly to rock n roll to punkabilly.Highlights include: " Gotta Go My Way"', "The Walking Dead", "Kiss The Ground" and  quirky "Machines Will Walk The Earth". 

        With "Wrecking Machine" The Wreck Kings have released a very strong album that is kinda off beat, fresh and diverse.Sure it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's definitely worth the gamble! Recommended.
