Willy Moon

With only 21 years, Willy Moon already rolled halfway around the world and was finding its musical references on these trips. Born in Wellington (New Zealand) went to Europe with 18 years and ran there until finally finding home in London. Like the artist, his music travels a lot. With free-spirited and spontaneous, he defines it as "A sort of Bo Diddley remixed by Swizz Beatz." In fact, the sound of this man can be considered retro, but without resorting to any move to some kind of redemption.

Hollywood Suicide

"Hollywood Suicide, beauty and decay, fame and depression. Some pills and champagne, that was a popular choice of death among people in the show business era of the '50s. Get to the top, do it quick, being loved, being adored. Quit while your ahead, never let your fortune fade." They're a young punk & roll band from London, UK.
Always on the road, anywhere and anyhow..they smashed most of the stages around sharing great gigs with bands such as Klingonz, King Kurt, Meteors, The Grit, Peacocks, Long Tall Texans...

The Cruel Sea

The Cruel Sea is a multi-ARIA Award winning 90s Australian rock/blues outfit. Originally an instrumental band focused on surf sounds, the addition of vocalist Tex Perkins (also a member of The Beasts Of Bourbon and a solo artist) proved an inspired decision. Combining the charismatic Perkins with the highly talented musicians created an unstoppable force through much of the 90s. Members of the band continue to perform, though with the exception of Perkins, most activity is fairly low key.

The Surf Rats

The Surf Rats have been touring and recording their own unique style of psychobilly since the dawn of the UK scene in the early 1980's. The band's original line-up recorded two classic "must-have" psychobilly albums for Lost Moment Records.
During the decline of the psychobilly scene in the 1990's, the original line-up continued to perform and record under different names, moving more towards a rockabilly sound.
