Psychobilly Sampler Volume 1 • CD
Twenty-five wild Psychobilly blasts from the Fury Records era, bringing together some of the most exciting names from the British and European scene between 1987 and 1995. Psychobilly Sampler Volume 1 is a fantastic snapshot of the era, featuring The Sharks, Mad Sin, Skitzo, Shakeout, The Go-Katz, The Lost Souls, Clear Rats, Demented Are Go, Banane Metalik, Wigsville Spliffs, The Nitros, The Falcons, The Caravans, The Rednecks, The Klingonz, Something Shocking, The Termites, The Griswalds and The Surfin' Wombatz.
Originally released by Fury Records, this collection captures the raw diversity of the late-1980s and early-1990s Psychobilly scene, moving from hard-edged Psychobilly stompers to Neo-Rockabilly and Garage-influenced Rockin' sounds. The result is one of those compilations where there's always another favourite waiting around the corner.
Highlights include The Sharks' Deathrow, Mad Sin's Human Fly, Banane Metalik's Killer Banana, Wigsville Spliffs' Buzz Outta You, Skitzo's Deep River, The Nitros' Destruction Road, The Go-Katz' Livin' In Your Shadow and Demented Are Go's Straight Jacket. There's also plenty of darker material from The Klingonz, The Griswalds, The Termites and The Surfin' Wombatz, making this a superb introduction to the wilder side of the late-80s Rockin' underground.
With 25 tracks and over an hour of music, Psychobilly Sampler Volume 1 is an essential compilation for anyone interested in the classic Fury Records Psychobilly scene. Whether you're revisiting the era or discovering these bands for the first time, this is a seriously strong collection of Psychobilly, Neo-Rockabilly and Rockin' mayhem.
