Hailing from Grand Rapids, the instro/surf band The Concussions have been at it since 2003 and along the way they have released 4 pretty damn good records to boot.Their brand of surf inspired instrumental rock is contagious and as a result they have developed a strong and growing fan base It's been to 2 years since their last effort, the stout "Break Up With The Concussions " was released .Now they are back with the kool " Newaygo Sound Machine" and this puppy steps it up.Coming in with 12 tracks that hit the ground running,this is a sure fired winner.Ranging from raw and hard edge instrumentals to poppy surf.Throw in some spaghetti and garage and the result is a mix bag of goody's that leaves you wanting more.Highlights include: "Whack Job" , "Flicksville" , "Pump City" and "Storm Team Dave". The Concussions have put together their best album yet with" Newaygo Sound Machine". At times there is a familiar ring here but with the mix of styles, strong writing and execution this puppy comes off fresh and exciting.

@The Skiffle Billy Cocktail just may be one of the most unique bands out there. Hell you be hard pressed to describe their sound. Someone described them as " Hillbilly Rock’olla Skiffle Rag". What is for sure is that these kats probably aren't in your wheelhouse but man their damn good and given the chance you'll probably dig them. Back in 2012 they released the stellar debut "Billy Budha &The Crazy Curse Of The Red Mustang" an album you should check out.Now their back with the sophomore effort " The Centrifugal Charisma of the Cowboy Cosmos & the Collapse of Charlatan Chaos". Once again they defy convention with a mix bag of 13 tracks of kool styles and sounds.From country, roots, rock,blues,doowop and a whack more.Throw in some great harmonies and the result is one damn good infectious romp that surly will grow on you.This is one of those albums that has you tapping your foot and you don't realize it. Highlights include: "Patchouly Punk" , "My Lasergun", "Your Blue Day Survival" and "Rocco Blanco"
If your looking for top flight rockabilly/ rock n roll ,Kieron McDonald may be your man. From his start back in 1997 with The Flatfoot Shakers to his work with The Roundup Boys and The Hi-Tones to his solo work, this cat has consistently been top shelf. Playing "authentic" rockabilly that adds rock n roll ,country and hillbilly into the mix and still sounds fresh .That said Kieron McDonald's latest offering (his 4th solo album) "Shake That Thing' is a flat out winner.Clocking in with 13 originals and 1 cover of strong and killer rockabilly. Again we get a mix of rockabilly/rocknroll with shades of hillbilly and country .What we have here is a case of having really strong material and letting a stellar band work it, you just know the results are going to be damn good.From start to finish this is one sweet ride.Highlights include: "Rockabilly High" , "I'm The King Of The Road", " A Little Love" and " Janet Leigh"
Kieron McDonald has again delivered another top notch album with "Shake That Thing". You should diffidently snag this puppy up .Highly recommended!!

The Retarded Rats may be the scruge of Leipzig but that doesn't change the fact that they are one kool and interesting psychobilly band.Their more than solid debut album "Lost In Space And Lost In Time" and last year's single ,"Underground Is Dead" prove that .Despite a membership change the band is back and stronger than ever .Now in 2016 they have just dropped their sophomore album "Screams From The 10th Planet" and this puppy is a winner.We get 12 tracks(11 originals) of raw and rough old school psychobilly to cure your ills .This time out there is a good splash of trashy garage thrown into the mix.The result is a damn strong album that scores a direct hit.Highlights include: "No Time To Die", " Neo-Psychobilly", "Nananananananananananana" and the smart cover of "Searching"
