This is the debut album from the Hangmen was originally out Kix4U Records and includes fourteen songs of raw, wild rocking, authentic Psychobilly with a solid variation of tempo . Despite the low quality of the production and the minimalist sound of what was originally recorded as demo tracks, many of them are very pleasant and a sneak preview on their later output. The long deleted twelve inch vinyl is still waiting for a re-release of any kind.

Shakeout - Dissonance (1995)
Shakeout began in 1992 when brothers Marty, Paul and Rich Scoulding got together with drummer Shane Hubbard in the Norwich area of the UK. The idea was to take the basic Rockabilly/Psychobilly template and add a touch of 1970's New-Wave, Skate-Punk, Brit-Pop, Ska and whatever else we liked at the time to try and be a little different from all the Demented Are Go copy cats that seemed to be springing up everywhere.
Shakeout gained a good reputation and played all over England with just about every decent band on the Rockin' scene - Meteors, Demented Are Go, Guana Batz, Long Tall Texans, King Kurt, Restless, Frenzy, Rattlers, Lost Souls, Caravans, Radium Cats, Frantic Flintstones - you name them, Shakeout played with them.

Teenage Zombies - Zombiefied
The Teenage Zombies were formed Oct 2010. Ginge, Phil and Rich had played in many bands together, the most known was Dead Jeff. Still wanting to play music,Ginge and Phil decided to go back to their roots and start a Psychobilly band. Unknown to us,we found that lyrics and Riffs came out easier than any band we'd been in before. We were full of it. After only 6 months we were back on a stage and playing to well recieved crowds. About a year later, we recorded our 1st demo 'The Dead Rock'. Only 3 copies got sent out, because Alan Wilson (The Sharks) liked what he heard. June 2012 we went down to Bristol and started recording our album 'Zombiefied' Which was then released on Western Star Records.

The Ducky Boys - Near Death Experience
The Ducky Boyz is a psychobilly, surf-punk band originated in Athens – Greece, which first played in 2002. After (too) many live-parties and two demos, they released their first album “No Regrets” in 2005 with the precious help of the fully independent Greek label Blind Bastard Records.
After the world had know them better and with some changes in the members (they begun at 2002 as a four member band then they were a trio and then they changed their drummer), they brought out at 2008 a 7″ single with the name “Near Death Experience” again in Blind Bastard. This single was produced in Greece and in Germany by “Mad Dog Recordings” from Paul Fenech personally (yes, the all powerful Meteors leader…).
They continued rocking the underground scene of Athens making concerts with The Meteors, Mad Sin, The Last Drive, The Monofones.

Tabaltix - Sex Plugs & Rock 'N' Roll
Born out of the need to have something new worth listening to, The Tabaltix exist to do just that. Hailing from northern California, they have won over a dedicated fan-base with their infectious rhythms and impeccable style! Part of a new generation of psychobilly, The Tabaltix bring the roots of psychobilly together with a space-aged slap in the face! Blending many influences, while never forgetting their roots, these boys have produced Musical ambrosia which will appeal to young and old alike. Jolting, rhythmic bass, throbbing drums, and a guitar so clean that you could eat off of it, they take an old-school Psychobilly sound and make it something completely their own. The Tabaltix are definitely classic Psychobilly for the modern age!
Route 67 - I Kill My Love
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.
The Yancatooz - Let's Woy (1991)
This is another Psychobilly classic from Belgium, released on 12” vinyl as well as compact disc in September 1991. The trio created good vibes with a wild rockin’, tight sound and excellent musicianship. The thirteen-track -all of them originals- gem, that was distributed on the obscure Little Circle label, has never been re-released and is definitely said to be a long-lost collector’s item these days.
Thee Waltons – Get Out Yer Vegetables (1995)
"Hide away yer daughters, stow away yer beer
Lock up yer livestock Thee Walton boys are here!!"
Thee Waltons created havoc from 1986 to 1996 with their unique blend of twisted hillbilly rock 'n' roll. They toured the country playing with the likes of Screaming Lord Sutch (R.I.P), The Damned, King Kurt, The Meteors, The Highliners, Slade and even Showaddywaddy !! They released three albums, a single and two live videos as well as appearing on several compilations under record deals with Raucous Records and Cherry Red Records.
Rawheads – Inferno (1995)
Rawheads was originally formed by Lutz (drummer) and the guitarist Ralph in the mid 80s. In the begining of the 90 the lineup was complete with the frontman of the band Betoncombo, Heske on bass and Kosche now on vocals. Playing his unique style with a blend of psychotic lyrics, a beat and a heavy punk guitar rock and roll they just played a few small gigs in local clubs. Having good connections with local promoters they ended up opening for Krewmen. However, time did not stop and in 1990 Heske wanted to leave the band as well as Kosche due to personal problems. Later after some line up changes they opened for Blood On The Saddle in the summer of 92 and played in several parties and was time for a vinyl. In early 1993 the first EP " Follow That Demon" was recorded at MusicLab Studio in Berlin. It was released by Mental Disorder Records later that year. Rob was asked to play with the Mad Sin when their original bassist Holly took a little slack. Rob recorded the album " A Ticket Into Underworld " with them and toured through France and Germany. However he was still a Rawhead and had not left his band aoriginal in hand. Having gained some experience he returned at the end of the year and continued playing with the Rawheads. In the fall of 94 the first Wild Cat Weekend in Berlin was promoted by Björj and Udo. The Rawheads played with the Meteors, Demented, Polecats and many others. At the end of the year , everything pointed to the studio again and in 18 days the band recorded their highly acclaimed album " Inferno " in Octosound Berlin. In the spring of 1995 they played on the 3rd Munich Psychobilly Festival, the biggest gig for in the band's history. After that, the CD " Inferno " was released by Mental Disorder Records and distributed by Rumble Records again.
Then there was silence ... Marco left the band after a severe fight with Lutz because of a girl. The band would never be the same....
The Loveless - Tales From The Grave (1985)
Another almost forgotten treasure in the history of Psychobilly is this ten-track cassette that was originally out on Fragile Records, just moments before the first big wave of Psychobilly broke. This U.K. outfit created some excellent, raw e-bass Psychobilly, heavily influenced by the earlier Meteors releases and the ongoing Garage & Trash disease, before eventually imploding without leaving any trace other than this tape and a piece of 7” vinyl. Highlights are Plague Dogs, Monster Klub, Sadist and Halloween.
