EPILEPTIC HILLBILLY'S

 

Tales From The Underworld (2011)

After reanimating THE EPILEPTIC HILLBILLYS -a footnote in the early story of The Radiacs- in 2010, the Oxley bros didn't waste any time to come up with their excellent Tales From The Underworld, released on Alan Wilson's Western Star label. The Sheffield-based three-piece laid down eight wild rockin' originals and scattered four odd cover versions just to make them completely their own. Decent twangy guitar, a healthy rhythm section and non-stop rockin' vibes create a fantastic brew of wild stomping Rockabilly, Hillbilly and Garage with traditional horror movie lyrics in the main. Exactly! That's what was started to be called Psychobilly some three decades ago. With absolutely no weak track on the album, it's hard to pick any highlight but I would like to suggest Stranglehold, Frozen, Underworld and Hillbilly Stomp and their top-notch covers of I Hate You and All Black & Hairy for a first listen.
