Psychobilly? Oh, yeah. I love a good harangue with a twang, a kind of country western ballad gone creepy, and who better to deliver than the Canadians? They are a zombie-loving crowd up in the not-so-frozen north. Take, for example, those Toronto rockers, The Creepshow.
Sarah “SIN” Blackwood (guitar/vox), Sean “Sick Boy” McNab (stand-up bass/vox), The Reverend McGinty (sermons/organ/vox) and Matt “Pomade” Gee (drums) serve up their brain-smashing beats worldwide.
My favorite tune—largely because it’s an old time ballad of a girl gone wrong—is “Zombies Ate Her Brain.” It’s a knee-slapping, foot-stomping little ditty with plenty of pathos.
It’s all good fun, eh?
