Their work Bye Bye Blues is like the compilation of best things made in blues, rockabilly and early rock-n-roll, add to this a bit country, swing and surf and you will get an awesome record. The whole production is retro so you will get awesome experience while listening to this record, its like hanging out in a pub somewhere in Texas or riding a 50^th Chevy. Of course the combination is a bit strange because early rockers were not very bit fans of swing, but in this case it works. I hope Quentin Tarantino will read this and put them on the soundtrack of one of his new movies.

Bit similar to Mad Marge and the Stonecutters but totally different. While both of these chix take most of their influence from good old rockabilly Marge is more about punk and Imelda is totally about jazz. So it can be best described as swing/jazzabilly. Of course we still have the female hot rod rockabilly vocals but big part of the record is still very jazzy.

Love Tattoo is a definitely my personal hit of the summer. It has the raw rock power and calm cocktail jazz bit of unmixable but almost all the songs are hits. While my personal two favorites are Smokers Song and Love Tattoo I still like the clicking upright bass in Johny Got A Boom Boom and gentle melodies of Knock 123 and Meet You At The Moon. The rest of the record is pure rockabilly nothing exceptional just keeping you in the mood between the top tracks.

Psychobilly or Psycho was born in GB in late 70^th. It was like music for people who considered rockabilly to soft and punk – to simple. Originally it is a simple mix of rockabilly with punk guitars and lyrics mostly about horror movies and related stuff.

This band is one of the examples of best modern underground psycho bands. It is way better that dozens of newcomers on these scene and even some of the old school feelas. The stonecutters play very catchy and danceable psycho/rockabilly and Mad Marge presents one of the most spectacular voices I ever heard in psycho. She’s the exact mix of the retro singing techniques with rude punk approach, perfectly holding the balance between these two styles.

Their 2005 debut “Mad Marge and The Stonecutters” kicks off right from the first song “Monsters” and just swings into a whirlwind of hot-rods, rock-n-roll and black humor. While many of the modern bands still keep searching for some new sound, bands like this present the things that were making people crazy for fifty years. With a little modern twist of course.
