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 […]

Nekromantix: Dead Girls Don’t Cry Label: Hellcat Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 2004 It’s return of the psychobilly band that croons instead of just yelling. Dead Girls Don’t Cry is the follow up to the very excellent Return of the Loving Dead. The songs were written in a very short period of time in the […]

Transplants: Transplants Label: Hellcat Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 Just when you thought you’d seen it all… Dang, even the venerable Tim Armstrong wants to cash in on frat-rap. This is another Rancid flavored project that Armstrong started after messing around with some computers and popular culture. Essentially, Armstrong wrote, played, programmed everything. Then […]

Label: HellCat Release Date: 2001 Review Date: 2001 He disappears for a decade or two and then suddenly he’s back. Can he still cut it after all these years or will it be weak like so many so-called comebacks? It comes as a relief that Rock Art and the X-Ray Style is quite enjoyable, if […]

Push ‘n Shove is another smooth installment of rocksteady Jamaican roots music. Don’t say “Ska” because you won’t be getting the picture. Push ‘n Shove picks up where Right on Time left off, with 14 tracks of island beats and horn sections. Each Hepcat release is more polished than the previous. Push ‘n Shove is […]

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros: Rock Art and X-Ray Style Label: Hellcat Release Date: 1999 Review Date: 2000 Hats off to Hellcat for releasing a new Strummer record, but what else would you expect from them?

Gadjits: Wish We Never Met Label: Hellcat Release Date: 1999 Review Date: 2000 Now that No Doubt has ruined so-called “Ska” for the commercial masses, what are they rest of the bands suppposed to do? The Gadjits are all from the same gradeschool or highschool or whatever. They mean well, but ultimately they are just […]

Tiger Army are a 3-piece psychobilly band from the SF area. They are led by the talented Nick 13 who writes the songs, plays guitar and sings. Adam Carson from AFI plays drums, and the rest of AFI sing backup. They come across as a hardcore version of The Meteors. Fast and rockin’. Songs deal […]
