The Buddy Holly of Garage Punk. Best known as the upright bass player with Swiss Punk-Rockabilly trio The Peacocks, Simon Langhard steps out on his own for Alone, his first solo album. Blending the spirit of 1950s Rock 'n' Roll with the raw energy and attitude of Garage Punk, this 2026 album reveals another side of one of Europe's finest Rockabilly musicians.
Recorded at DALA Studios in Winterthur, Switzerland, Alone features Simon Langhard's distinctive songwriting across twelve tracks, including Good Days Have Gone, Last Day, 99 Percent, Friend, On The Outside Looking In and The Observer. Langhard combines classic 1950s Rock 'n' Roll songwriting instincts with a distinctly modern Garage Punk edge, while retaining the melodic qualities that have made his work with The Peacocks so distinctive.
With its mixture of 1950s Rock 'n' Roll, Garage Punk, Psychobilly and melodic songwriting, Alone is a fascinating new chapter from a musician already well known to fans of The Peacocks and the European Psychobilly scene. Pressed on striking pink vinyl, this limited-colour-vinyl edition is a particularly attractive addition to any collection of modern Rockabilly, Garage Punk and Rock 'n' Roll.
