HELLBILLYS THE HELLBILLYS "Torture guards" CD (Nickel and Dime record.com, Release DATE: May 2006) Rather interesting mixture here, because are members of DEMENTED ACRES GO and CHRISTIAN ON PARADE to works. And in such a way the 15 Songs then also sound themselves. Psychobilly meets «80er-Hardcore meets Rockabilly! In addition now and then double bass on speed Metal basis. Musical influences of both volume are to be noticed really clearly, whereby the Psychobilly portion lies nevertheless somewhat more highly. Can even present to me, which MISFITS Ghouls can be angefixt! ãTorture guards "came 1995 for the first time on the US label ãRansom note record "raus and now on ãnickel and Dime record "as rem aster was again-published. An extremely alternate-rich thing, although it is absolutely not my sound TRACK. Nevertheless, goes already somehow into order. ( * * * ) Ralf material Shock Hellbillys : Torture Garden CD (Nickel and Dime Records) I really enjoyed the "Cavalcade Of Perversions" best of 45s comp from these San Francisco psychobillies, who's been around since 1989. "Torture Garden" is a re-release of their 2nd LP of 1995, no frills punkabilly with some metal influences, I mean, "Demons" sounds like Metallica's "Motorbreath" with double bass slappin'! This is incredibly uncool and silly rock'n'roll, which gives it a wonderful charming we-don't-give-a-fuck-about-trends feel. If you dig: Meteors, Guana Batz, Demented Are Go Jens HELLBILLYS: Torture Garden: CD A reissue of one of my earliest and favorite psychobilly memories, 1995's Torture Garden is just as good as I remember it. Rumbling, thundering, gory goodies that feel like a neck being crisply snapped from behind. A good, strong thrust of timeless classics like "Bondage A Go Go," "Bucket 'O Blood," "Useless Man," "Nitro Ghouls," and Elvis' "GI Blues." Originally on Ransom Note. ÐJessica Thiringer (Nickel and Dime: www.nickelanddimerecords.com) HELLBILLYS "Torture Garden" CD HELLBILLY sind bereits vor TIGER ARMY in den Staaten auf dem Plan getreten, die Verbreitung von Psychobilly zu fšrdern. Ihre letzten Alben gingen dabei in eine extrem schnelle Richtung, lie§en aber nie die Rockabilly-Roots verkennen. Ihre stŠrkste Platte war aber ihre erste, die jetzt wieder auf dem Markt erscheint. Neben den TOMBSTONE BRAWLERS ist dies eindeutig eine der besten Psychobilly-Bands aus den USA. Die Gitarre klingt zwar ein wenig nach Metal, aber die Soli passen hervorragend in die Songs. Und der SŠnger beherrscht seinen Job, was will man mehr? (08/10) (30:04) (Robert Noy) OX-FANZINE #86
