It's been a while since a Psycho thread.

gregulus · 09-25-2005, 09:30 PM

It's been awhile since I've seen a Psychobilly thread grace these boards, so I thought I'd start one...

I'll start with some of my favorite bands like Demented are Go, Necromantix, The Meteors, Mad Sin, Rev. Horton Heat, The Cramps (even though some don't consider them psycho) and many others.

One of my first shows was Demented are Go when they toured the states and I was amazed at the energy and the sound of the music. I was wondering what you guys thought of the genre.

AIRIC · 09-25-2005, 09:35 PM

I like and dislike a lot of it.

Excursions · 09-25-2005, 09:36 PM

I used to be a big fan but the only bands I still listen to on occasion are The Meteors, The Cramps and The Sharks.

EightMilesHigh · 09-25-2005, 09:39 PM

Omg! I was just thinking of making this thread today.

Earlier today I bought Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps. Does not dissapoint.

I'm looking for soem Reverend Horton Heat, too.

Psychobilly is so awesome.

I kinda only like tiger army... I have a "demented are go" and a "batmobile" record on my computer but I didn't like them too much.

I'm not a big Tiger Army fan, myself.

Brain Toad · 09-25-2005, 10:28 PM

I can't stand Tiger Army. And people who call Horrorpops psychobilly should be punched in the face.

Demented are Go, Mad Sin, Batmodbile, 12 Step Rebels, and many more are all awesome.

One half billy, one half punk rock.

TheNowhereman42 · 09-25-2005, 11:28 PM

Mad Sin are playing tomorrow, but I can't make it unfortunatly. Demented Are Go! are really badass. I heard the new Horrorpops album sucked balls

ThisUserIsAPipebomb · 09-26-2005, 07:00 AM

Rev. Horton Heat is psychobilly?

I've heard alot about him/them but I didn't know it was psychobilly.

I've been meaning to check out him/them for awhile.

nitzguy · 09-26-2005, 09:12 AM

i like the 12 step rebels and Demented are go!... the Bassist from 12 step rebel's was crazy live... duirng one of the songs, he put his Double Bass up on his shoulders behind his head(like how guitarists do) and was playing a solo.... it was so funny, because the crowd just stopped what they were doing... and jaws just dropped... good show

MILF Hunter · 09-26-2005, 11:33 AM

I listened to the Best of the Frantic Flinstones as I walked home from college.

skateMASTERbater2 · 09-26-2005, 11:57 AM

Mad sin is one of my favorite bands, they're just awesome, everyone should listen to them. New album is out sometime in october.
I also love the astro zombies, the meteors, the cramps, cenobites and demented are go

wicky428 · 09-26-2005, 12:22 PM

Mad sin are awesome. My favourite psychobilly band along with the cramps.

Zion Gates · 09-26-2005, 02:59 PM

my favourite physcobilly band in nekromantix...my first show was rancid, and tiger army came, they played an amazing show

YoungSavage77 · 09-26-2005, 04:34 PM

Anyone like the Devil Dogs? They're not exactly psychobilly, but rockabilly mixed with punk, on the rock and roll side.

Skidmark Steve · 09-26-2005, 04:38 PM

He is more on the rockabilly revival side

Read both mine and El_Shiznit's posts in that thread.

In short, psychobilly is blending rockabilly (which had a revival in the 80s, which lead to psychobilly) with punk, making it faster, with a lot of references to horror movies, hot rods, etc.
