Surf/Rockabilly/Pyschobilly

[ESmorz]

Hit me with all the best bands you have. I have been stuck in a rut with these genres for awhile now and have a hard time finding anything new that's worthwhile.

I tend to lean towards the more punk influenced Psychobilly mostly, but I love a nice slow reverb guitar piece as well.

Saw the word 'surf.'
Don't know if this has anything to do with it.

i think the genre was at it peak during the late 90's/early 00's.
I liked the bands with the more authentic sounds.
usually they came from europe (esp sweden).
Of course the orginal stuff and the obsure stuff from the compilations were fun too.

The stuff you posted is really more psycho-billy.
Psycho-billy & rockabilly aren't the same.
Didn't really care for it too much when it got diluted in punk,
even though I enjoy certain types of punk.

You might like the annual 'Viva Las Vegas' weekend festival that takes place in Vegas every Easter holiday.

The only thing remotely Psychobilly I ever listened to was Tiger Army.

Ah fuck my life... Psychobilly*

I usually proofread better than that.

Some Tiger Army is a guilty pleasure even if it is kinda poppy Emobilly.

[chitownguy]

Batmobile

Ill post some more when I remember some names and find videos.

[ms!3]

tiger army is ok. along with other related bands.

hardcore/thrash is over everything in my book though.

nothing beats ss decontrol, gang green, gg allin, black flag, mdc, ect.

Cant go wrong there.

If you want good surf rock check out your local REAL used record shop. Itll be vinyl but it sounds better. Plus youll find stuff there youve never heard and will never hear of again!

[ESmorz]

My dad has entire book case full of vinyl. Most of it being surf rock and psychedelic.

It's what I grew up with.

[ronmcdon]

good call with Gene Vincent.

Here's a couple of the orginial stuff I can think of.
Good place to start would really to check out the 'Sun' stuff.
Then go on to some of the better compilations.

Carl Perkins - Honey Don't (not the most accessible, but i love this Sun artist)
QR30qLKyLBw

Wanda Jackson - Funnel of Love

I might start my own thread for good early soul and RB

[cesar_240]

kexp.org (great radio station in seattle) hosts an awesome show 'shake the shack' every fri that you can play on their site.
It's a great way to introduce yourself to a lot of the rockabilly, surf, 50's country/hillbilly music, etc including some of the newer artists.

[moocowmoo]

fmS4keLLEr4

kak0ZKSeKcw

fhAtxTYTV1I

i like this thread a lot im so glad everyone here isnt a pure dubstep shuffling rap only type of person. lol I like everything but have always like this kind of music. try getting out of a 240 at a car meet and having a big psychobilly pomp... lol the looks you get are classic. lol

[Gizmo_S13]

Listen to my homies band The Straight Jacket Psychos they're badass trust me.

[moocowmoo]

Listen to my homies band The Straight Jacket Psychos they're badass trust me.

always down for some good local music. on facebook or myspace? or they got a website? lol

[Gizmo_S13]

Naw, they're getting more and more known though. The singer and I used to be best friends running in the same crew but we just outgrew all that drama shit. Now were both rolling in different cars hahahaha

They're on myspace.

[jacobs13]

My neighbors company is viva las vegas and they run the rockabilly weekend in vegas, I even got to work on his 1932 hot rod, if you see it I did the the instrument cluster haha

[gearhead55]

I listened to a lot of rockabilly and psychobilly stuff for a while, but i kinda grew out of it. Its cool but there just isn't enough differentiation between the sounds of different bands. Its great music to watch live though, and i love the art, cars, and tattoos associated with it. My tattoos are kind of a mix of japanese irezumi and american traditional...

One song that fits more into the old school 'surf' category that always kicks me in the gut though:
KwVSSzcuOls

while the dead milkmen aren't a rockabilly band, this song does fit into that category i think. I think a lot of you guys that are into old school stuff will know them. I love this song because it is such a departure from their sarcastic/comical stuff. Good rockabilly/surf guitar is timeless...
