Travelling on imaginary ROUTE 67 its were this Smolensk-based three-piece got they're inspirations.Their Sinful Way winds from the home base that is Rockabilly to their main goal known as Psychobilly back and forth, tho' not without stopping off at Punk Rock, Blues, C&W, Ska, Surf and even traditional Russian music to ginger up their output.

Get Smart - Get Smart (1987)
Another underrated piece of vinyl from the nearly unlimited treasury of Nervous Records. Superb, up-tempo Neorockabilly with muted Jazz influences, great musicianship - Jonny Bowler, Rich Carso, Roy Philips and Jimmy Fahy- plus a great collection of songs, that includes about a handful of brilliant cover versions, create a wild rocking affair, that should please all kinda billies . Among the best songs are their cover version of Sixteen Tons and My Babe.

Boppin' Kids - Still Rockin' (1987)
In 1984 the Boppin´Kids, still in their teens, started as a visibly underage rockabilly trio. Playing wild rock´n´roll sessions after school in their hot hot hot italian hometown.
Following a few school gigs and some hiccups with the legal system, in ´86 the band signed up with Rock 86/Polygram Rec and their first album "Go wild" immediately entered the national charts with the much celebrated "Tainted Love". Radio, press and national TV recognized their talent and contributed to spread the Boppin Kids mania around. The Boppin Kids loved violation and stretching to the utmost the sounds of many glorious artists, from Johnny Cash, Curtis Gordon, the Sonics, Hasil Hadkins to Motorhead, Tommy Steel and the Meteors, mixing together rock´n´roll, rockabilly, gothic, psychobilly, punk, surf influences and 60´s garage into a galactic 100% Italian cocktail!
In the 80s European climate of rockabilly revival the Boppin´Kids found themselves pushed to fame, with over 200 gigs a year across the country and were turned overnight into a huge and fast success phenomenon? Too fast? Too furious??
With the 1987 EP Still rockin and the 1989 album "Just for fun", their records were played all over Europe, and even in Japan!
