Voodoo Zombie are probably the best known psychobilly band from Chile, they recently became a part of Batcave Records family and released their new record. I listened and reviewed the record for our zine.
The album contains intro plus ten songs. The music of Voodoo Zombie is psychobilly with horrorpunk influences. All of the songs would not be what they are without great voice of the singer Katona Katrina whose trademark voice sounds better than ever before. There are some faster and for me outstanding songs like for example El Mesias, but also slower, seductive rock n roll beauties like Existencia Infernal. I have two versions of that song on this record. Yes, you got that right, all of the lyrics are in Spanish language, so maybe you and I don`t understand all of the stuff these guys are singing enough, but I understand enough Spanish to know what the song titles are about hehe. You will have no problem with the songs like Zombiewalk or Un Mejor Cadillac. This is a great record from a great band. Check it out and also other great stuff at Batcave which is a small label, but has some great releases.
Family Meeting, melodic punks from Toronto, Canada just released their final record via Thousand Islands Records. I listened and reviewed the record for our zine.
The record contains 3 songs of beautiful, melodic and technical skatepunk. I love the diversity in the pace, atmosphere and awesome melodies of No Honour Amongst Steves. The title track is for me the best song on this record with the chorus that made my head spin and my skin get goosebumps and made me wish that I wrote this song. For Months Of Rain made me somehow sad, realising the fact that this is the final record for this band, and I only discovered them. But, the music will carry on and the smiles on the faces of us, listeners will be eternal, knowing that the legacy of this great band will remain in memory and ears and our hearts forever.
Reverend Horton Heat have been around since 1985.delivering their ferocious mix of psychobilly, rockabilly, punk, country and surf. Now, with renewed strength and mighty Victory Records to support them they have a new album out, which I listened and reviewed for our zine.
The album contains 11 songs. I have never listened to this band prior to this record, now I am ashamed I haven´t payed more attention before. You may call it this, you may call it that, but basically it is above all rock n roll. And a contagious one. The energy this band provides is just infectious and makes your day better and brings back joy and smile upon your face. From the melodies of Sunrise Through The Power Lines to Viva Las Vegas cover that sounds more alive than ever in their version, accross Dont Let Go Of Me and the awesome title track, this band delivered one mighty new rnr record.
