These guys are great. Hard Rocking psychobilly with a eerie edge. Also all the members of the band are mentally handicapped (and also physically as Vic has a wooden leg and Tommy has a glass eye) which is a real inspiration to handicapped people everywhere. It just goes to show what anyone can do if you put your mind to it.

The Koffin Kats are hard to describe.... The best way I can think of is if you take the Stray Cats, the Misfits, and the Reverend Horton Heat and put them in a blender. The music itself is a mixture of rockabilly and punk with morbid lyrics thrown in for good measure. I bought this cd on a whim because I like the genre and they got kudos for being a local band. I loved the cd, but got an even bigger appreciation for them when I saw them live. It's hard to tell how talented they are until you see a stand up bass played upside down, behind the back, and straddled like a horse! It was also cool when the guitarist and bassist criss crossed and played each others instruments on stage! Bottom line, buy this cd - you won't be disappointed. Also, if you have a chance to see them live, go for it. How many nationally known bands hang play hole in the wall venues, hang out in the bar before the show, and are cool as s**t when you talk to them over a beer?

Amazing.
Even more amazing live.
This is all that needs to be said.

I only discovered these guys by pure chance whilst browsing through the rockabilly section in the Australian itunes store and I've been hooked on them ever since.
Psychobilly like horror punk can either be done really well or truely terrible not that many bands actually pull it off but the Koffin Kats have really hit the nail on the head with this album in particular and are definetly my favourite psychobilly band if they keep churning out stuff this good I reckon they'll become cult legends
Check em out you won't be dissapointed!!!!!!

hmmm... no reviews yet... if you have any pycho-inclinations or punkaproclivities you oughta locate a copy. it will make the world a better place, cure cancer and end silly wars. ok, maybe not all that, but it's damn good, I haven't been able to stop listening to it. this is one of those bands that makes all other sounds obsolete. pace yourself though, they only have three albums.
