Horrorpops: Hell Yeah!
Label: Hellcat
Release Date: 2004
Review Date: 2004
Another Nordic import, this is about the freshest package to come out of the punk/psychobilly scene in some time. It’s got sex, rock, punk, Phil Spector girl group pop, goth go-go dancers, and a stunning female on stand up bass and lead vocals. The overall sound is a hybrid that could be likened to the Living End. Part rockabilly, part punk rock, part bubblegum. The Horrorpos don’t just stick to one genre, or for that matter, one blend, but the end result flows without interruption. Patricia’s voice sometimes sounds like Souixie Souix, sometimes like the Gwen Stefani (but not in an annoying way). Her delivery is sometimes tough, sometimes impish and always playful. She’s the total package, but hands off boys, cause she’s married to guitarist Nekroman whose day job is bass/vocals for the Nekromantix. As with the Nekromantix, the backing vocals are a big part of the song. I really can’t say enough about how catchy this stuff is. It’s your reason for living! Live shows are a plus. Get into them before they become HUGE!
