Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Solid meat-and-potatoes British rockabilly.......2004-02-01

The Batz are a bit like the Stray Cats ... in fact there is a decent live cover of "Rock This Town" near the end of the disc. As a rule, the guitar work is not as strong as Setzer, but the riffs are pretty sharp and the singer of the Batz is better. My only complaint with this album is the first half of the disc -- the songs sound too alike, and the guitar is too "clean" in the mix. However, in the second half of the disc the production adds a nice edgy, reverb laden sound, such as in "Streetwise" and "Electra Glide in Blue." If you are looking for other obscure psychobilly bands, check out The Road Kings self-titled album (the one with the cards on front) -- it's absolutely brilliant.
