French rockin' trio Wolfoni bring together straight-ahead rockabilly, vintage country influences and a subtle streak of psychobilly darkness on North Coast Killers. Originally released in 2021, this 11-track vinyl LP is a lively roots-rocking set that moves between classic rock ’n’ roll, country, psychobilly and garage punk, with Wolfoni putting their own stamp on material from several generations of rebellious music.
The album's varied selection reaches back to the rockabilly sound of Charlie Rich and The Jiants, while also embracing favourites associated with The Ramones, Restless and Mike Ness. Tracks such as “I Won't Cry Over It”, “Ice Cold”, “Lonely Week-end”, “Riot In The Cell Block #9” and “Makin' Monsters For My Friends” showcase the band's broad musical appetite, delivered with a tough, energetic rockabilly approach.
A strong choice for fans who like their rockabilly with a darker edge, North Coast Killers offers a varied set of covers that connects 1950s roots music with later rockin' underground sounds.
