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.

The Hangmen
1) Garage band from the 60`s 2) For a frighteningly long time The Hangmen have been creating & developing a punk/rockabilly hybrid under the generic term of ‘Psychobilly’.
The band has gigged and toured consistently throughout - releasing no less than six albums along with countless compilation appearances, singles and even the odd motion picture cameo.
Having never ran with any pack they've pursued and evolved their raw hi-octane rock & roll formula with guts, distinction and attitude, becoming influential in the process.

They were regulars at the Klub Foot and other low-life places in the 80's. As one of the 'first generation' of psychobilly bands, one can see that their roots were firmly embedded in rockabilly.

Guana Batz
The Guana Batz were formed in 1983 in Feltham, Middlesex. The groups initial line up consisted of Pip Hancox (vocals), Stuart Osbourne (guitar), Dave 'Diddle' Turner (drums) Mick Wigfall (Double Bass). This line up didn't relase any material and so Stuart told Mick he favoured an electric bass at that time and that's how Mick White replaced him. Then in 1984, the Guana Batz opted for a double bass player again, which was Sam Sardi.

Indeed, Steve has been actively involved in music since 1980. Sighting musical differences, Steve left The Sharks to pursue his destiny with Frenzy.
