Psychobilly Freak-Out

Now although this is a Rockabilly blog, I thought that today I would talk a bit about Psychobilly.

I kept seeing the word Psychobilly while researching things for this blog, so decided to find out what Psychobilly actually was.

It turns out that it is a mixture of fast Rockabilly and Punk-Rock!

Now being a proud mohawk wearer and being into Punk-Rock myself, I really couldn't picture how this would work. After listening to a few bands though, such as the Cramps, the Koffin Kats and the Meteors, it turns out that the mixture of the two genres is actually the perfect blend! I love it!

The songs are often about horror, violence, lurid sexuality and other topics generally considered to be taboo. The good thing though is that songs are not all doom and gloom, but instead fast and often presented in a comedic or tongue-in-cheek fashion.
