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.

Sharkbait

Sharkbait (one word) was a San Francisco based industrial group active from 1986 to 1996. They were a true industrial band, in the vain of Einstürzende Neubauten, using multiple percussionists in their songs and live performances. Everything from Taiko drums, sheets of metal, oil drums, huge metal springs, and many other tribal percussion instruments were used. On top of the rythmic assault were layers of noise, distorted and manipulated instruments, tape loops, samples, and vocals by multiple singers (male and female).

The Sons of El Roacho

"Can You Dig It Sucka?" is the first Sons Of El Roacho album, and is a fantastic solid Psychobilly release that proudly displays it's Rockabilly roots with twangy guitar, thimpin' double bass, and frantic psycho-rockin' Rhythms.
Plenty of seriously stompin' Psycho-Rockabilly originals stand up well against some hard-hitting familiar cover-rockers.
This is the second coming of the Sheffield Psychobillies after the short-lived original line-up imploded in the early 1990s without any releases, and with only a string of memorable gigs and a loyal following behind them.

The Brilliant Corners

At long last a band is being recognised for the influence it has had without the commercial acclaim that some of their songs deserved.
This seminal Bristol band consisted of a nucleus of Chris Galvin (bass) and David Woodward (vocals and guitars) with Bob Morris (drums) plus various others during their ten years of existence.
Through various styles they created a unique Bristol slant on the 80's which was never deemed glamorous by the press or music gliterrati in general. Some may say that the Bristol scene was insular but it was really about being yourself and getting on with things.
