The Long Tall Texans

I have to say its early in the year, but The Devil Made Us Do It! Is definitely a contender for ones Album Of The Year list. Right from the instrumental intro that is Taxi Im hit with that rockabilly vibe and by the time I hit Kamikaze Killer Im straight off the seat and into the imaginary mosh pit of my mind!!! The driving standup bass sets the tone, the guitar has that lovely surf punk feel to it and the vocals lead you fairly and squarely down the punk/psychobilly path. The grin factor then hits the roof with Sex And Beer And Psychobilly and here Im bouncing off the walls. The horror imagery comes to the fore on one of the stand out tracks of the album I Fell In Love With A Zombie, but my favourite has to be the Deliverance Hillbilly stylings of What Part Of Fuck Off Dont You Understand? I mean what a title!!! I can definitely pick up The Cramps in I Used To Feel Funny and then the drums that kick in album closer Feels Like Ice really hammer home where the influences come from.. great stuff. Go out and buy this now, its stunning stuff, and back catalogue here I come,
