The Drugstore Cowboys deliver a high-octane blend of Rockabilly, Rock 'n' Roll, Country, Blues and Surf on their explosive debut album Crash And Burn. Formed in Britain in the late 1990s, the band took the classic sounds of 1950s Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly, added a healthy dose of their own attitude and produced a powerful modern Rockin' sound.
The band's influences are easy to spot, with The Stray Cats, The Paladins and Reverend Horton Heat providing useful reference points, but Crash And Burn is very much the work of a band with its own identity. Alongside original material such as Crash And Burn, Ready To Go and Neutron Shake, the album features inspired versions of Rock 'n' Roll favourites including Flying Saucers Rock 'n' Roll, Rocket In My Pocket, Crawfish and Goo Goo Muck.
With its combination of Rockabilly guitar, pounding rhythm, hot-rod attitude and raw Rock 'n' Roll energy, Crash And Burn is a superb example of 1990s British Rockabilly at full throttle. An essential choice for fans of The Paladins, The Stray Cats, Reverend Horton Heat and high-energy Rockabilly with plenty of horsepower.
