Tom Walbank
|
Born in 1969, Englishman Tom Walbank discovered blues at fifteen after seeing John Lee Hooker's brief appearance in the Blues Brothers film. After furiously studying the harmonica stylings of Sonny Terry, he spent many a year performing in the bars of Edinburgh, Scotland, with devout Hun Steve O'Connor. He then spent five years in the San Francisco Blues scene with his new Yankee bride, then continued his journey to Tucson, Arizona, where the rent is cheaper and he has become respected not only by the blues crowd, but also among rockabilly, punk, and indie fans as well. His music refuses to be a caricature of the music he loves, instead coming off as sincere, vital, and original. Mudhook Vol. II takes it title from an amagalmation of Muddy Water and John Lee Hooker, and those ghosts definitely haunt this recording. You'll hear slide guitar, harmonica and a deep, throaty voice that sounds like it could belong to a bluesman twenty years his senior. What you'll not hear is slick, over-produced hotshot blues masturbation, nor a mawkish re-working of blues staples. These are all original compositions invested with heart and soul and recorded on reel-to-reel for a true warmth. If you wonder what a Brit could possibly know about Delta Blues, you'll be pleasantly surprised, as Tom is not only an encyclopedia of blues history, but also has managed to add his own voice to the latest chapter.
Bands Tom Walbank has opened for include Dick Dale, Holly Golightly, Robert Belfour, T Model Ford, Paul Jones, Calexico, Giant Sand, Neko Case. |

Legendary Hucklebucks 11 songs
|
The Legendary Hucklebucks were born during the cold Pittsburgh winter of 2001. As veterans of underground Pittsburgh bands the Ultimatics and Social Outcast, their shared lust for "roots music" and rockabilly eventually brought these boys together and got this train-a-rollin'. But make no mistake, this ain't your daddy's old school rockabilly- this is 21st Century Raunch-N-Roll! It's updated, hellbent and nasty, beefed up with blue collar attitude and venom. With just the right amount of cynical snarl, this guys play dirty, snotty ROCK & ROLL-A-BILLY with the mutated genetics of punk rock and old school metal thrown in for good measure.
The band delivers their unique sound wherever they can, including all the local juke-joints and rock-n-roll dives, as well as shows opening for Lee Rocker, Southern Culture on the Skids, the Twistin' Tarantulas, the Legendary Shack Shakers, and the Cramps. They are willing and able to gig with ANYBODY. They even kicked off the 2003 Pittsburgh Blues festival, and have sonically raided town fairs, wedding receptions, bowling alleys, Fire Halls, VFWs, and one axe-throwing contest in the swamps of Mckeesport. This disc is the follow-up to their debut split CD with Satan's Teardrops, and shows the band hitting full stride, ready to overtake their peers with a sonically twisted masterpiece. |

Kill The Hippies 77 songs, Double CD |
For well over a decade this "77 style neoteric Punk/Wave, spazzoid 3-piece" has been slogging it out in just about every DIY space across the country... at least whenever they have a steady line-up and a van that runs. Other times, these daytime telemarketers spent their nights as pillars of the Kent, Ohio, punk scene. The core of the band has always been Matt (guitar) and Melissa (bass), sharing both the vocal and songwriting duties, and they are now joined with a fresh drummer known to the world only as Bobby Robot. For years the band’s output has consistently gained them critical acclaim from the punk rock press. There are no inflated egos or phony posturing. No dress code, paint-by-numbers bullshit… and no over-produced, soulless claptrap. Instead, Kill the Hippies write intelligent songs with of oft-times poetic turns of phrase and even some political content, yet they also remember not to take themselves too seriously.
With this double-disc CD release, Kill the Hippies have collected all of their songs from all their 7" records, all their compilation tracks, and countless additional unreleased material that spans everything from the very early days to the current era of greatness and splendor. With 77 songs, you’ll get more than a little taste… it’s more like an avalanche of flavor. |

The Straight 8s
Catalog #: RRP-021
|
The Straight 8s have become one of the most respected purveyors of modern Rockabilly (with elements of Swing, Surf, and other precious debris), earning not only the acknowledgement of respected scenesters and the enthusiastic approval of neophytes, but also the begrudging appreciation of those grimacing loathers of all things 50's. "What's their secret?" you ask. It's their pure love of this music that gives it honesty, allowing retro elements to reconfigure into bright new constellations. It's also the capturing of that wild glint in the eyes of the first rock'n'rollers and making you swear it was their own. It's their ability to do what ten thousand of other bands do, but do it better. This disc doesn't sound tired or uninspired, but instead growls, bumps, and bites as this Rockabilly beast keeps evolving.

This is the long-awaited Second Coming of Uncle Scratch's Gospel Revival, and the Lord isn't the only one who will be pleased. Satisfy your spiritual craving with this epic journey into the minds of two Jesus-loving crusaders. Your heart will be won over instantly once you hear this heavenly racket! Never before have Jesus freaks freaked out so gloriously. Their pure hearts lift you up while their foul mouths bring down the devil. This devout duo has been known to take their missionary message to the sidewalks outside the many local dens of iniquity where the misguided cavort in an alcoholic stupor to the beguiling sounds of sin. Brother Ed gives a biblical thumping to his drum kit made from cardboard feed barrels and metal milk crates, occasionally pausing to make the sign of the cross with the tattered sticks. All the while Brother Ant proselytizes through a megaphone as he abuses his battered Stratocaster in an effort to exorcise the screeching demons within. Evil has never had such a powerful enemy. Uncle Scratch are God's answer to Slayer. They are that beacon of light atop the Stairway to Heaven. Take that second step, brothers and sisters, and get closer to your eternal happiness. Buy this CD.

Al Foul 12 songs
|
Frontman of Tucson's Al Foul and the Shakes, who has been making music for over 15 years, has now gone it alone. As a one-man band. Al has been able to focus more on whittling his distinctive songwriting and inimitable style into a sharp point that pokes through the trends and fashions to get at something timeless. All the cuts on this album were recorded live with Al simultaneously singing, playing guitar, and drumming in the basement of producer Naim Amor (www.amormusic.com). No overdubs or fixes will be heard on here – just the real deal, what you might hear if Al were playing at a party in your living room. The only things added in post-production were the occasional handclaps and a violin in the background of Frankie Lane’s "Wanted Man." Al’s unmistakable vocals never waver throughout the disc, brilliantly capturing the character of each song with a broad, smooth voice coming from deep inside his beer-soaked guts. Whether it is a desperate love song or the ballad of a troubled troubadour, Al Foul can sing it with a degree of sincerity that cuts to the bone.

Lords of the Highway 13 songs
|
Following on the heels of 2003's already unavailable "Lost In Sin," this latest offering from Cleveland's Lords of the Highway
marks their 5th full-length, and promises to be the brightest point in their 13 year history.
"Degreaser" builds upon the Lords' distinctive and often unpredictable, sound. Dennis, Sugar, and Pete all take their turns at the mic, steering the band down side-trips to county fairs and exotic lands. Perhaps most striking
is the evocative power and lyrical quality of the instrumentals,
which often take a ponderous tone that contrasts with the primal
psychology erupting elsewhere with a deranged twist. "Get In
Your Pants" belies simple locker room machismo with its eccentric
phrasing and creepy charm, while "Get Lost" saunters across the
speakers with a reciprocating sneer. You'll also hear Pete's
eerie croon on "Legend of 369" and "Phantom of Cool," in addition
to a hillbilly-punk/square dancin' take on the Misfits' "Die, Die My
Darling.". Throw in a pair of cautionary tales about the real cost
of drinking ($100 Hangover) and curvy scenesters with attitudes
(Rock'n'Roll Bitch), and you have something that transcends your
average retro act. By the end, the Lords of the Highway will have you shakin' like you got the DTs.

HIGH ROLLERS |
From the deepest crevices of the rockabilly landscape (Prescott, Arizona), comes a band that can not only get people dancing on the tables, but can drink them under those same tables as well. The High Rollers play super-charged rockabilly with the fervor of punk rock hoodlums. Their sound connotes both their fellow statesman Al Foul, as well as the more well-known rave-ups of the Reverend Horton Heat. If you like it raw, loud, and rockin' as hell, this is the CD for you!

LEGENDARY HUCKLEBUCKS / SATAN'S TEARDROPS
|
This is the third official release by New Hampshire’s emissaries of evil, Satan’s Teardrops, fresh on the trail of a stunning full-length on Spindrift Records in 2003, and a previous split 7” with Boston’s Photon Torpedoes. Here you get more of their customized mixture of the best 50's rock 'n roll, punk, country, and psychobilly insurgence. Satan’s Teardrops play like they met the devil at the crossroads and ran that sorry bastard down.
The Legendary Hucklebucks were born during the cold Pittsburgh winter of 2001, and more than pull their weight on this split. A shared lust of roots music and rockabilly brought these boys together, but make no mistake, this ain’t your daddy’s rockabilly, this is 21st Century Raunch & Roll - updated, hellbent and nasty. These 7 songs will keep you drooling like one of Pavlov’s dogs as the Hucklebucks lay down the rock-n-roll with urgency and conviction.
