The Ricochets were one of the first wave of Psychobilly bands, springing forth from the Rockabilly scene. Their drummer and bassist both played in the Guana Batz later on, and the drummer also played with The Meteors and The Highliners. Classic early Psychobilly,lots of tracks.
The Ricochets started out as the backing band for Marney Webb (look out for his 'Still searchin' - a great track), and were originally known as 'Pink And Black'. They were a pretty average covers band in the beginning, but a girl that hung around with them had some cool ideas.
After his last US-tour with Danish psychobilly band NEKROMANTIX in 2004 guitar player Peter Sandorff was hanging out in Los Angeles having beers with his friend, graphic artist GRIS GRIMLY. They decided that Gris should make a movie about cannibals and Peter should write the music. Peter immediately called his old friend Jeppe B. Jessen who also used to be the bass player in their postrock band SCHWARZWALD LIBRARY in the 90's.
The Lone Sharks is a French Psychobilly band - not to be confused with the American band of the same name.
With her psychobilly bad-girl vibe Bristol girl Emily Breeze "comes on like Elvis, Nick Cave and Patti Smith playing a baptist preacher all rolled into one. Her striking bequiffed persona rocks, swaggers and plays holy southern hell out of a beautiful white guitar. Along with her partners in crime, drummer Dan and bassist John, she "plays songs of love and faillure with more sweat and energy than a hundred simpering indie boy bands," says Artrocker magazine. Stool Pigeon says they can be "schlocky, silly, derivative" but at the same time "bloody brilliant".
Billy Rebel is a fast and different style band using influences from Horror, Gore, Zombies, 50's Rock and Roll, Thrashing Metal and Crazy Punk. Our song's are about a certain character called "Billy Rebel" who meet various monsters, ghouls and weird creatures. The 4 piece band has so many influences from old rockabilly, to metal, and fast punk.
Lee Fraser's (Sheep on Drugs) side project. Bagman only released two albums on Invisible Records, which explored the the drum and bass sound that was only hinted on the last few Sheep On Drugs' albums. Bagman has been on hiatus as Lee has taken over Sheep On Drugs full time.
1) Restless was formed in 1978 by Mark Harman (g/v), Paul Harman (b) and Ben Cooper (d). The band name was borrowed from a Carl Perkins song. In 1981 "The Restless" EP was issued-limited to 400 copies. Once 'Why Don't You Just Rock!' was out, the boys were pretty much doing the regular Rock 'n' Roll circuit throughout England. Restless played their own style of Rock 'n' Roll and are arguably one of the most influential British Neo-Rockabilly bands. One time they played a 50´s Rockabilly standard just to follow with a pure Psychobilly song.
The Hitchers' have been playing their own style of punk rock'n'roll, much to the delight of audiences nationwide. Capturing the infectious buzz of punk rock with the fun and style of the 1950s rock 'n' roll years, and dispensing the results in short, melodic bursts of energy, they are arguably the most intriguing live act on the scene today. The lads had a busy 2003 gigging up and down the country and putting an album out on Toddler Records, which received excellent reviews from Rocksound (8/10), Kerrang!, and various web-based review centres including CounterCulture.
Every song is speaking about love (in fact about feelings, sex or porn). As usual Tight Fitting Pants are singing love stories, using obscene lyrics and various jokes! 12 funny songs, catchy, fast and melodic. A mix between Punkrock and Psychobilly. Tight Fitting Pants are a 4piece psychobilly band playing since 2002. Their music is fast, punky and melodic. Since the beginning, they choose to speak about love and sex, instead of death and zombies as a proper psychobilly band. Maybe because they wanted to create something new, or maybe because they’re real perverts….
