DEADBOLT! The self proclaimed "scariest band on earth." Is it true? Not in the least. But these are some scary good tunes. (I likingz to be witty.)
Shrunken Head, their debut full length, is a crawling, surf infused rockabilly gem. You've got more reverb than you can handle, catchy riffs, a constant drum pulse, and Harley Davidson's signiture low, raspy spoken word vocals about all things from cheesey horror flicks to being a postal worker. The sound is straight from a swamp, and truly can be captured by the term they coined, voodoobilly. What's more (not so much on this release) is the band's trudging pace is enhanced by using 2 basses, which they call THE WALL OF THUNDER. Regardless, this album is Cramps worship at its finest, and is a must for those who like '50's rock and an air of spookiness to their tunes.
