Dear fiends and fiendettes, it is time for some psychobilly mixed with punk on the pages of this webzine. Rocker Arms from Holland are veterans of the scene being formed in 1999. and playing with some lineup changes until now. This is their new record which I listened and reviewed for this webzine.
The record contains seven songs of psychobilly mayhem with a lot of punk influences thrown in the song structures for good measure. “Joey” is a melodic song leaning heavily on punky riffs, psychobilly guitar work and nice melodic vocal lines. “Closer to me” is a more of a classic psychobilly song again with nice melodic chorus and some surf influences thrown in. “Free Beer 4 All” also owes more to the band˙s psychobilly roots than to punkrock but it is a very heavy sounding song nonetheless. “Don`t tell me” is a hymn to freedom, not living caged by boundaries and being truely free of conformism. “Dressed in red” starts as a horror psychobilly song with whispered word, thunder and has that old school black and white horror movie vibe. It is for me maybe the best song on this record. “Punk Nr” is just what the title says pure blood punkabilly song, fast and strong instrumental. “28” closes the record in the energetic fast and wrecking psycho style. This is a great record so if you are a fan of such music have a grab on this one!
Awesome label from USA Batcave Records recently treated us with releasing the new Stellar Corpses e.p. Now, it is time for rerelease of the classic The Brains first album “No Brain, No Pain”.
This is the remastered release of the first classic album by the Montreal psychobilly legends. First coming out 13 years ago, in now far 2005.this album shows this band as it was in their begginings, fast, a bit rawer and melodic. Led by Rene DelaMuerte Garcia, The Brains became one of the best psychobilly bands in the world and for sure one of my all time favorites. This album contains 12 songs of melody, darkness, gore, the trademark Rene´s vocals and with the titles like “Taste Your Blood” and “Dead Corpses” you just can´to go wrong. It was recorded in only two days with really low budget and the interesting liner notes tell the story how Rene was sick during the recording, so there are some interesting facts not known before. This remastered release of this album does justice and presents the history of this great band to some new kids in the scene.
