VARIOUS ARTISTS
THE NIGHT OF THE ROCK 'N' ROLL MUTANTS
(Pumpkin)
A budget priced global Psychobilly sampler.
5/5
This is a Psychobilly sampler defining the state of the genre now in 2008. It collects bands from the world over and quality tracks at that. The whole gamut of the variations of a musical style that rather than the just ‘refusing to die’ stage it languished in for much of the 1990s, at least in UK, that is back in full flow. This is probably the fist global celebration of Neo- Psychobilly with only The Hangmen and The Go-Katz representing the old school though both bands have evolved alongside the new nutters on the block. Twenty killer tracks too good to pick out a standout in the wordage allowed, an essential purchase for curious and converted alike.
