Artist: THE CREMATORS / Title: “S/T” / Genré: PSYCHOBILLY / Format: CD-EP / Label: HEP TOWN RECORDS /

I received this record some months ago, but haven’t reviewed it until now. It’s not that it’s bad, cos it isn’t. They’re a good bunch of lads who have played with the likes of The Last Resort and if you like psychobilly, I think you’ll like this. It’s just that over the last few months, I’ve grown tired with fast and loud music. I’ve listened to punk and it’s subgenrés for 20 years+ and want to explore some different music, so recently, I’ve been listening mainly to country, bluegrass and cajun. In fact, this review marks the end for now (maybe I’ll come back!) of this blog.

But enough about me.

I really like this record, they play a good mix of punk and psychobilly. Some tunes are more punky in their energy, whereas some are more 50′s rockabilly in their sound. You can’t review this record without mentioning the guitars either, cos I really like ‘em, as do I the voice of the vocalist. He could easily sing with an oi! band as well as with a psychobilly band, he’s got loads of bollocks to it, as well as a melodic singing capacity which I like.

If you like psychobilly, you’ll like this record, so get it if you’re smart!
