The House Of Haunt - Habeas Corpses 2017

Over the last few years Toronto's psychos,House Of Haunt have earned a rep as a fun and very entertaining  live act.They also have upped their game with each release.This past year saw the band lose their keyboard player.Not standing still they went out and got themselves a guitar slinger. As a result, the band has a more beefier and rockin' attack. Their latest offering "Habeas Corpses"  backs that up.Clocking in with an opening statement followed by 8 tracks of psychobilly, then a closing sentencing (there is also 5 bonus live tracks too boot).Four of the tracks are older but have been rerecorded here and the other 4 are new . There is still some keyboard action but it no longer drives their sound.With the addition of the second guitar the band comes off tougher and better.  Overall it's a stout outing that has the band sounding better than ever. Highlights include:"Congo Cannibals", "Undead Man Walking", "The Hanged Man" and the kool  poppy inspired "Rum From The Black Lagoon".
   The House of Haunt are in transition on " Habeas Corpse.It's well balanced with the new tracks  highlighting the album.These cats  are open for business and they just got a little meaner. Recommended!

Numbskulls - Back Fae The Deid 2017

Scottish psychos the Numbskulls have been dead and buried for a hell of a long time .So there arising from the grave last year put more than a few people on notice.Back in 1990 their debut album "Psychophobia" made a splash and their second album "Life In Limbo"was recorded in 93 but wasn't released until 97.For many they are the best psychobilly band to come out of Scotland.That said they are returning in a big way. These lads signed up with Diablo Records,went in to the studio with Doyley and the result is the hard rockin' "Back Fae The Deid ". This puppy comes out of the gate damn strong and brings it on.We get 10 original tracks that mash psychobilly with  rock n roll. It's also laced with  Scottish / Celtic themes that only add to this thrill ride. Every song here rocks and it really is equal parts psychobilly and hard driving rock n roll.Highlights include: "Midgees" ,"Bean Nighe", "Dunnottar Siege" and "Guts'n Glory"
    Rumor has it that these cats got back together to have some fun and or for some unfinished business.One thing for sure is "Back Fae The Deid" is a refreshing and killer album.It's also surprisingly one of the years best .It will color you impressed!   Highly recommended!!

The Gruffs - Not The Full Shilling 2017

When The Gruffs  formed in early 2016  they created some mild interest.After all this is an outfit that has some major pedigree with members coming out of Luna Vegas,The Hellrazors and Mickey and The Mutants.Instead of rushing things the band took the time to write and record material.It turned out to be a good call.The result is" Not The Full Shilling" a slab of delicious old school psychobilly. This puppy comes at you with 12 original tracks that are loaded and ready for fun.It's old school with a  flare of neo rockabilly, so you know it rocks.There is also a whack of humor running through it that at times, some may consider naughty. It's also has a really great vibe about it from start to finish.Highlights include: "Onion Head" , "Stumpy & Skunk Eye", "Bamboo Boogie Man" and "Sniff".

   
"Not The Full Shilling"  is a stout debut album but then again that should be no surprise considering the cats involved here.It's solid  right from the song writing to the production.You can put your feet up or wreck to this one.It's all good. Recommended!!

Mark Malibu & The Wasagas - Return Of The Wasagas 2017

 
Back in 1979 Mark Malibu & The Wasagas  washed up onto the Toronto punk and immediately stood out from the pack. Been Canada's first surfpunk was no easy chore but they managed to record a handful tracks,some which appeared on a few compilations.After a 3 year run they packed it in and sadly were quickly forgotten. Funny thing thou,in the early 2000's  Toronto burgeoning surf was starting to gain traction and for a few people  Mark Malibu & The Wasagas became a touchstone band. It took a few more years but in 2014 they appeared at The Great Lakes Surf Battle #9 and released the kool "Original Surf Punk Recordings". As a result you could say the game was back on. Now in 2017 they have dropped the  kool and sweet album " Return Of The Wasagas". This puppy craves in with 12 originals and 2 covers of mighty fine surf. For the most part this is aggressive traditional surf but we also  get a range of surf here ,from traditional to spaghetti to surf punk and a little horror surf .From the opening intro to the final track this is one refreshing and fun ride that maintains a stout groove.Highlights include: "Surfin' A Go-Go" , " Boogie Board ", " Spaghetti Summer" and "Ain't Gunna Crash"
      There is no doubt about it "Return Of The Wasagas" packs a punch. Mark Malibu & The Wasagas are making up for lost time here.This is a lean and hungry outfit that's bringing it on and having fun too boot. Highly Recommended!!
