(record review)The Brainiax-Rock N Roll Lobotomy(Batcave Records)

1 Comment

The Brainiax are just releasing their new record with the mighty Batcave Records. I listened and reviewed the record for our zine.

These guys are hailing from Portland and I must admit that I have never heard of them prior to this record. The music of The Brainiax can be described as psychobilly, leaning more heavily on the old school psycho bands like Demented Are Go, Batmobile and similar legendary bands. This record contains 10 songs of old school hard rocking psychobilly with some ska influences(Cape Fear), also, I can hear some doo wop rock n roll in No Way. The album is varied and in no way boring, with country influenced The Bastard Sun, for me one of the best songs on the album Devil Doll. Anyway, the best songs come in the last third of the album, namely Hideous Horrific and House On The Hill, being psycho hits for the new millenia haha. Good one.

(record review)THE LUCITONES-Three Moons(Batcave Records)

Leave a comment

Batcave Records continues its triumphant crusade by giving us awesome psychobilly releases, this time I listened and reviewed for our zine the new record by The Lucitones.

Formed in 2015.in Montana, these guys play catchy, contagious like the zombie outbreak, melodic punkrock psychobilly. This new record contains 12 songs. If I must compare the music to some bands, then it would be like a mixture of Koffin Kats, The Rocketz and Stellar Corpses. After the instrumental Bulletproof, the album provides killer tunes like Her Crypt In The Woods or The Temptress, with beautiful haunting melodies in the song verses, great vocals made for singing along, then the anthemic choruses join in, which just make you wanna listen to the record more and more. Most of the songs on this record make me wish that I have wrote them, how good they are. The title track reminds me with its vibe of some old school Hammer horror movie. To sum up the impressions, I love this record, it is awesome!

(record review)VOODOO ZOMBIE-Reviresco(Batcave Records)

Leave a comment

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.
