“The Belgian Bombers” - the Seatsniffers
Av Steinar Kallander

Voodoo-beat i Bo Diddley-format, autentisk rockabilly ala Carl Perkins, svett Swamp-blues, Biker-rock eller Little Richard-sax fra helvete er ofte sukker og gjær i hjemmebrenten fra Be-Ne-Lux!

The Southern Kings.
The Southern Kings
Av Thomas Øyen

The Southern Kings er en skikkelig godbit for de som liker country og honkytonk med akkurat passe dose rock'n'roll innabords. For dette bandet har jeg aldri hørt makan til, og jeg tviler på om jeg får høre det igjen. Så derfor gjelder det å nyte det lille som finnes.

Intervju med Brian Setzer 23. februar 2004
(Sakset fra Setzers hjemmeside.)

Which Stray Cats song is the best to play live?
I used to like the all-around rockers like "Rumble In Brighton" and "Something Else" but now I kind of like the more Rockabilly songs, you know, the ones with a little more swing to them, a little more bop to them. I love playing the ones with the tricky little guitar solos in them because there's always a good chance that I can mess them up! Les mer..
