Andrew I really liked it. It really reminded me of Blood Brothers, even though I can't really stand them anymore, I liked the similarites.

Psychobilly recommendation
 

I'm sorry if there's an official recommendation thread in the punk forum, I searched and didn't find one. I'm sorry if this is a taboo subject here that recieves nothing but flames, I'm not a punk regular, I wouldn't know.

That said, what is the best/most standout psychobilly album in your opinion. I feel like getting one or 2 for christmas. So far, all I have in the genre is the first 2 Tiger Army CDs (and I have a feeling these aren't exactly considered deep into the genre).

Thanks for any help.

Phenomanauts.

Either of their albums (Rockets & Robots or Re-Entry) are amazing pieces of work.

The Cramps - Songs The Lord Taught Us
Anything by Reverend Horton Heat

Tiger Army
The Cramps
Koffin Kats

Tiger Army
Nekromantix
Demented Are Go!

Or go [url=http://www.wreckingpit.com/psycho/bands.php3]here[/url].

The Cramps or the Pits. Those are my favorites.

[QUOTE=jcs497]That said, what is the best/most standout psychobilly album in your opinion. Blah blah blah.

If you want mad cred, and good primer into psychobilly, try the Meteors, they're probably the first proper psycho band. As far as albums go, try for [i]Wreckin' Crew[/i].

Other good bands to introduce you are Demented Are Go, Three Bad Jacks, the Quakes, Nekromantix, etc.

And for some genre clarification: The Cramps are a good proto-psycho band, but don't be expecting the revved-up sound you may be accustomed to. The Reverend Horton Heat isn't true psycho either, but rather just punkabilly, and the Phenomenauts are basically just rockabilly, [i]maybe[/i] punkabilly.

Ok. This is my first post so no one shoot me.
I reccomend- The D4.
They're a New Zealand band that's been around for a while but just undergone a major revamp.
I saw them last night when they were support at the Foo Fighters concert.
But then again they're not really punk.

you're supposed to recommend bands to people who ask for recommendations really. That's why it says "personally".

Reccomend me anything that sounds like Saves The Day.

New Found Glory lol



Kidding. Try Lifetime.

Massive Attack
or
DJ Shadow

Mmm, trip-hop. If you don't like it at first, it may or may not grow on you.

[B]Andre:[/b] I know Andre's got the same romnaticised version of the old west like I do and loves the great american singer-songwriters like Johnson, Williams, Guthrie and Cash too so he should love Bob Dylan. Dylan was just about the biggest Woody Guthrie fan imaginable (Listen to SOng to Woody or Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie) and starting off imitating him but soon became much, much more. He also played with Cash (Girl From North COunty, Nashville Sessions.) A Woody fan will love his folk albums Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, The Times They Are A-Changin', Another Side of Bob Dylan, and John Wesley Harding, a country fan will love Nashville Skyline and Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, and any sort of music fan will love Highway 61 Revisited, Bringin' It All Back Home, Blonde on Blonde, Blood on the Tracks and Desire. He combines country, blues, rock and folk along with some of the best lyrics ever written. Everyone should listen to him.

Can someone recommend me the best Demented Are Go album?

[QUOTE=Ghostfire3]Can someone recommend me the best Demented Are Go album?[/QUOTE]Listen to Mad Sin instead. They're a lot better psychobilly.

Demented are Go did an album with Ian Stuart, under the band name of The Klansmen.

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]Listen to Mad Sin instead. They're a lot better psychobilly.[/QUOTE]

I already do listen to Mad Sin.

Well then stick with them.

I'm not a big fat stupid!

Reccomend me something that sounds like The Aggrolites.

Recommend me something that is crust.
