The Sons of El Roacho

"Can You Dig It Sucka?" is the first Sons Of El Roacho album, and is a fantastic solid Psychobilly release that proudly displays it's Rockabilly roots with twangy guitar, thimpin' double bass, and frantic psycho-rockin' Rhythms.
Plenty of seriously stompin' Psycho-Rockabilly originals stand up well against some hard-hitting familiar cover-rockers.
This is the second coming of the Sheffield Psychobillies after the short-lived original line-up imploded in the early 1990s without any releases, and with only a string of memorable gigs and a loyal following behind them.

Batmobile

In 1983, childhood friends and schoolmates Jeroen Haamers (guitar) and Johnny Zuidhof (drums) formed the Dutch rockabilly band Batmobile
Recruiting Jeroen's brother Eric, the band began playing local venues, covering the likes of Elvis Presley, Johnny Burnette and Gene Vincent. After a few years, the group decided to start writing their own material. Their songs were heavely inspired by the rockabilly past but infused with a restless and manic energy. This sound, combined with their purportedly wild live shows, attracted people from the psychobilly scene towards the band.
