One Way Ticket To Insanity is a gloriously unhinged blast of Dutch Punk-infused Psychobilly from The Southern Way, combining raw Punk energy with Surf, Horror and Rock 'n' Roll influences and plenty of darkly twisted attitude. Released in 2007, this 13-track assault delivers maniacal vocals, demonic harmonies and a wonderfully chaotic edge, with New Nightmare, Absithe Dreams, Have You Ever Been In Hell, Costa De La Muerta and Casa Cockroach establishing the band's wonderfully warped approach from the outset.
The Southern Way keep the Punk attack firmly to the fore, tearing through songs such as Football Is Fun, Zombified, Hard To Be Seventeen and March Of Beelzebubs Children with a rawness that gives the album considerably more bite. The title track, Oblivion and Back In Line complete a compact and consistently energetic set that never strays far from its central combination of Punk aggression, Psychobilly attitude and gleefully macabre subject matter.
Contemporary coverage described The Southern Way's sound as “hysterical Psycho Rock”. One Way Ticket To Insanity is a seriously wild ride.
