Issue #2
THE HOTROD HILLBILLIES
In our last issue, Nicky & Patches were high-tailin’ it out of Texas. About the time
I Finished up writing those pages I came across The Hotrod
Hillbillies, and their rockin’ tune “Dragstrip Demon” summed up the mood perfectly.
It's a dirty, dusty, sand-in-your- teeth, Texas tune
that conjures up images of scenes right out of “From Dusk Til Dawn.” |
| Seemingly
just as easily as they portray the gritty side of Texas, these Hillbillies can flip around
180 degrees and crank out some fun, fast songs about
drinkin’, fast cars and faster women. “Bitch” is your
perennial break up tune with a high degree of honesty as they are able to harmonize the “C-word” which is such a rarity with bands these days.
And finally, we have my favorite song of the bunch, “She’s My Chevy”. A steady rocking tune that will
be as at home in any garage as the sound of a ratchet wrench.
The Hotrod Hillbillies have a variety of sounds all of which
feel definitively Rockabilly. To prove it, the guys have set up this month’s
FREE RoadTrip CD on our website for ya’ll.

Issue #1
VULTURE CLUB
It’s all about the attitude! And Vulture Club have got a SICK, SICK one! I first happened upon this band on
MySpace. Their main profile song “It’s The Attitude” had gotten stuck in my head before it even ended and had me doing something I rarely ever do, battling MySpace’s incredibly slow servers day after day just to get another listen!

If you’re a fan of bands who can really find the pocket and pump out hooks so catchy that they will have you humming them later in the day after the very first listen, then be sure to give these guys try!
If “horror movies set to music” is your thing, then their track “Zombie Bob” will have you tapping out a B-movie right on your steering wheel. They’ve even included a cover of Nirvana’s “About A Girl” that vocalist Brutus assures us will have Kurt rolling in his grave!
Vulture Club are definitely a cool and talented bunch of cats, and to prove it, they have set up this month’s
FREE RoadTrip CD for you
all.
