The Ricochets

The Ricochets were one of the first wave of Psychobilly bands, springing forth from the Rockabilly scene. Their drummer and bassist both played in the Guana Batz later on, and the drummer also played with The Meteors and The Highliners. Classic early Psychobilly,lots of tracks.
The Ricochets started out as the backing band for Marney Webb (look out for his 'Still searchin' - a great track), and were originally known as 'Pink And Black'. They were a pretty average covers band in the beginning, but a girl that hung around with them had some cool ideas.

Griswalds

KINGS OF LONDON POP PUNK the GRISWALDS are one of the few surviving mid 90’s UK pop punk bands . Three Ramones worshipping teenage losers, Ben Nuthink (vocals, bass), Steve Legend (vocals, guitar) and Paul Spazm (vocals, drums) got together in the summer of 1995. We each bought our first instruments the Christmas before and began writing songs about horror and sci-fi movies, drinking and our extensive bad luck and limited good luck with girls.
