Horse Cave Trio - Curb Service (2006)
%2BCurb%2BService.jpg)
If there is one band that knows the meaning of rockabilly, itís Detroitís Horse Cave Trio. The lineup of Ron DeVore (vocals & bass guitar), Lou Simon (guitar) and Tony Bizon(drums) has soaked up influences along with bourbon, from the bluegrass of Kentucky to the mean streets of the Motor City. Think Elvis and Johnny Cash over at Sun Records in Memphis, and then add a healthy splash of Chicago blues and Eddie Cochran swing.

Hot Boogie Chillun' And The Monorays - Fuckin' Sweet 7'' (2013)
The Hot Boogie Chillun' track is a dance floor bopper and has been popular for many years. The Monoray's track is a moody stroller for the girls and has that Hot Boogie Chillun' feel to it.

The Switchblades - Wild Psychobilly
The Switchblades from Australia create a sound that is aggressive, dangerous, and altogether unique by fusing multiple potent musical styles, from psychobilly to punk to heavy metal and blues. Lyrically influenced by Lemmy from Motorhead, combined with a Poe like inner psychosis; their nefarious lyrics have already led to promoter requests to tone down their performances. But as Harry Crewes said ‘what the artist owes the world is his work; not a model for living.’
The band is an eclectic mix of talented musicians. Jarran Zen, the enigmatic singer, also plays double bass. The lead guitarist, Nic, is a modern day moody blues man with a heavy metal edge. Their drummer, Tanya, provides a punk cadence to the finished songs that is completely in sync with the band’s musical style.
Jarran Zen lives music 24/7 and as a result is a prolific songwriter, but the strength behind the band’s music comes from the fractious relationship between Nic the guitarist and Jarran Zen. Their writing partnership is one of two opinionated individuals who clash on many issues but can compromise on producing music. But, rather than reviving musical genres that have been dead for fifty years, they want to challenge the status quo of the music scene with an innovative style.
