Originally the very first band to appear on the Raucous Records label, The Go-Katz emerged during the formative years of the British Psychobilly scene, combining traditional Rockabilly with the speed, attitude and DIY spirit of Punk. Forty years later, the band return with The Go-Katz Will Survive, the definitive retrospective celebrating both their remarkable career and the 40th Anniversary of Raucous Records.
This twenty-track collection traces the band's journey from their raw early recordings through to their later, more accomplished work. Five songs are making their first appearance in any physical format, while favourites including Nightmare, Living In Your Shadow, Real Gone Demented Hillbilly Kat, Maniac and I Will Survive capture the energy, humour and individuality that have always set The Go-Katz apart.
Forty years after becoming the first release on Raucous Records, The Go-Katz Will Survive brings together the definitive collection from the band that started the Raucous Records story. The perfect introduction for newcomers and an essential addition to the collections of long-time fans. Some anniversaries look back. This one turns the volume up!
