MAXIMUM ROCK'N'ROLL (USA)

the drumer from the Headcoats is what caught my attention. Teh sound convinced me to this one.Blues with a Voodoo Feel meets early Rock. The vocals have a distant sound to them. There's a very mellow feel to the whole sound, but the guitars are what keep it strong.Vocalsmake me think of Ricky Nelson if he's been a very dirty boy growing up.Lately, this has been the perfect wind-down music after a long day home for me.- megan

CAUSTIC TRUTH (CAN)

Great Rockabilly release from these up and comers. No hundred mile a minute psychobilly mayhem, just old time rock'n'roll like the old folks use to bop to. this recording also manages to capture the spirit of the time,like it was recorded live in some gritty, chicken fenced gin mill in tennessee .it also boats great digi pack artwork to boot,with loads of trashy film noir imagery and volup-tuous gals A winner !!... jack Link

LOWCUT (DK)

With ex-Headcoats Bruce Brand on drums and the recordings done by Liam Watson in the legendary London's Toe Rag Studio there's no way you can't go wrong, right? AbsoFUCKINlutely right, ho daddy-o! Hipbone Slim aka Sir Bald Diddley deliver 12 wonderfully bluesy swampbilly trash tunes of very high standard, there's not a weak track in sight. John Gibbs of The Kaisers provides the groovy slapbass antics on this excellent debut album, let's hope for many more in the future.

SLEAZEGRINDER (USA)

Members of Brit garage gators Thee Milkshakes, Wildebeests, Snags, and Mighty Caesars, among others, get together for this three man rock n’ roll sock n’ shlock hop. Shades of Gene Vincent, the Stray Cats, and all manner of good time, hollow body guitar rock shine through on this infectiously bouncy record. If bubbles started pouring out of the speakers, and if Stacey started doing the Pony in bobby sox while this was playing, I would not be surprised. Well, maybe surprised, but certainly not shocked. They dip their toes into a little surf action here and there, as in the ginchy “Catch Some Rays”, and “When You Do the Things You Do” is almost crooner pop, but it’s all rock and roll, baby. The crazy thing is… I mean, this was recorded last year, right? You’d never know. There is nothing here that couldn’t have happened 45 years ago, which makes this probably the most authentically retro early R n’R record I’ve heard. Slightly spooky, but a fun record, nonetheless.

RAUCOUS (UK)

Hipbone Slim & The Knee Trembers play dark, edgy Rockabilly and Swamp Rock 'n' Roll. 'Snake Pit' is atmospheric and eerie, but there's no denying that it rocks, rolls, bops and shakes too! Played as a stripped down slap-bass three-piece, it is best described as 50's Rockabilly with a dark Psychobilly twist. Excellent and original.

SUGAR AND SPICE (FR)

UK trio consisting of members MILKSHAKES/HEADCOATS, KAISERS & SIR BALD DIDDLEY & HIS WIG-OUTS producing a hot mixture of desperate rock & roll, furious rockabilly & stompin' swamp blues. Debut LP.
