THE GLADEZMEN:
This three piece band of swamp freaks Fu#@ing! Rock! The Gladezmen are from deep in the swamps of south Florida, and it shows in their music, giving them a unique sound and style that’s truly all their own.This psycho trio is able to cover all the bases, from rockabilly to white boy rap!I call it Swampfunkapunkabilly! Maybe I should add that to Wikipedia!

Their new CD “Big Ol’ Monster” is another killer offering from this moonshine-drenched psycho trio. It’s sure to bring the swampabilly out of ya’ and have you dancing a jig like ol’ Jed Clampet from the Beverly Hillbillies! The lyrics and samples from old movies and TV shows are clever and funny. I don’t know; maybe it’s all the gator or possum meat combined with their moonshine-soaked brains that have allowed them to come up with their own unique style and sound. Or maybe it’s just some funky voodoo? I don’t know? All I do know is that I hope they keep it up because I want more!

BONE YARD:
“American Made” is not just the current PR gimmick from our elected idiots; it’s the new CD from Bone Yard. This band of American outlaws claims to be a southern rock band, but I’m not sure I would limit them to just that one category. With a sound reminiscent of bands like Alice in Chains and Soundgarden, you can see their rock-n-roll roots.
This 10-song disk contains rockin’ collections from power house tunes like Broken Halo and Hellz Angel, to lighter burners like “Dying on the vine”. It’s hard to say which song would be my favorite, they are all kick ass! One other interesting note about this album: the cover art is by band member (base) and demented low-brow artist Dog Mac.

BLOODY JUG BAND:

First Drops is the debut offering from The Bloody Jug Band. The lead vocals’ pairing of Cragmire and the lovely Stormy Jean is a nice mix of gravel and sugar.
This six-song EP is a snappy collection of classic country tunes spun with their own flavor, along with some of their own brand of original country honky tonk tunes, played with various unusual instruments, such as the one-string upright bass made from a wash tub and a stick, or moonshine jugs and a wash board, giving them a real down home good ol’ boy sound.

Amber Alert! Amber Alert! There are some escaped sick-O-mental patience and know
gator molesters on the loose! Lock up your back doors, lock up your kids, lock up your
wife, and for god sakes lock up your gators! They could be coming to a dive bar near
you! If I had to describe the Gladedzmen with one word it would be
Floridacountrypunkafunkapsycoswampabilly!

Tweet that bitch!

Right from the intro on Scallium Anarchs it’s apparent that guys are not from this planet!
Or maybe it just from drinking too much back woods moonshine, whatever it is that
make these crazy Florida rednecks kick out their brand of southern psycho music.
These boys from the swamp can really kick it up!

Psycochargers new disk: Mark of the Psycho. From the first moment I popped the disk in I was drawn into a psychotic haze, where I wake up peddle to the metal, burning rubber in a cloud of smoke, my “Baby Got A Gun”. Heehaw me and Chi Chi’ are going on a run Yea babe it’s gonna’ be fun! Me, my baby and Jimmy Beam are tearing up the streets in my “Psycho Death Machine”. I feel her rumble, I hear her roar.

She’s the craziest bitch I’ve ever seen, sexy as hell and just a little mean! Chi Chi squeals liquor store, Hodjie mart who we gonna rob? She giggles, eanie, meanie, miney, Moe catch a... Stop babee! That’s the one! I slam on the breaks and jam into the lot; she’s already half way out the door as I screech to a halt. Chi Chi jumps out, shotgun in hand, Chi Chi burst through the door and screams give me all your money or kiss your ass good bye! I spit on you, you filthy American whore! Hodjie says just before my baby screamed like Xena and blasted Hodjie all over the wall. Chi Chi grabs the cash and turns, more shots fired as Chi Chi blast out the door!

Psychocharger roars, as Chi Chi dives in headfirst. Chi Chi took one in the shoulder, I watch her “Turn Blue”. Chi Chi’s been living the “Life of Sin” since she was “Thirteen”.

I decide to take her to old crazy Doc, “They Call Him Sadistic” because he always says “I Eat The Dead”. Blood!!! Shock!!! Kill!! Rock!!! We’re on a mission to “Live Fast, Never Die” I love my psycho baby because she brings out the “Beast In Me”, I feel the “Call of The Necrofiend”. Now I’m a “Wanted Man”, I’m a wanted man in California, I’m a wanted man in Kansas City, I’m a wanted man in Ohio, I’m a wanted man...

I woke up in the morning struggling to make my way through the haze. Damn did all that just happen or was it all a dream? I look down to see Chi Chi lying on top of me, naked, except for a bloody bandage… Shit baby we gotta’ go! Psychocharger’s blaring on the radio!

Hot Damn this CD rocks! I love it! Buy it I promise you won’t be disappointed! http://www.psychocharger.com


Jason and the Punknecks: Love Us or Hate Us Hillbilly Rock -n- Roll.

I’ve never been a country music fan, but I have to say I love this collection of Hillbilly/country punk songs by the Punknecks, with Wildman Jason Punkneck and his tattooed face rockin’ the guit-fiddle and sweet Polly Punkneck with a voice as sweet as any country star are one of the coolest bands I’ve seen for quite some time. From the very first time I saw them perform I was hooked! This three piece band has more energy and stage presence then most bands could ever dream of. This CD is packed full of some ass kickin’ tunes, and it’s clear that they are as talented as they are irreverent and funny. So don’t miss a chance to see them perform live! You’ll be downing shots and kickin’ up you heels, and dancin' like a hillbilly fool! So get out of your trailer and pick up their CD, kick off your shoes, drink some shine and let the hillbilly in you get out and dance!

Rotting Corpses and Concrete Shoes ….the HIGH VOLTAGE HEARTBEAT of the CREEPIN CADAVERS!

Article: Scott Fisk/Studio 669

Out of a DEVIOUS town in Massachusetts known as ARKHAM comes one of the most vicious, “out for fresh blood” bands to hit the Northeast…the band in mention? ….the“CREEPIN CADAVERS”.

I came upon this band in question on total accident…at a hot rod show..go figure. Their music is maddening, so maddening that if you drop one of their cd’s in your car stereo you’re guaranteed to have bruises on your forehead from smashing it against the steering wheel.. They also claim no responsibility if you get a speeding ticket…

“3 pieces” is all they need when on stage. As a spectator down on the floor you are most certain to have your ears bleeding, your nose bleeding…and anywhere else that can bleed….bleeding…(well its happened to me anyways). On stage they are quite the show, off stage they are very charismatic and genuine…and yes, very professional.

So sit back, grab that glass of jack and read on.

RM: What got the band started in the scene?

CC:We've all been playing our instruments since we were just little cadavers; however Jeff is the only member who has actually been trained in guitar. He studied classical guitar for a few years. Jeff and Al were in a horror punk band and Scott was in a different band of the same nature. As luck would have it both bands broke up around the same time. Scott picked up a King Double Bass (ELECTRIC LIME GREEN) and called Jeff and Al with an idea of something different. Soon the fearsome three some were jamming out old rockabilly tunes such as Eddie Cochran, Elvis and more. After putting their horror punk twist on things the Creepin’ Cadavers were born and soon released their first CD "Welcome to Arkham" after only 3 months of being a band!”


RM: The inspiration behind the band?

CC: “We each have different inspirations...

Al's drumming is greatly inspired by the swinging sounds of Kurt Sodergren, with the originality of Nate Young and the punk rock beats of Adam Carson and a ton of others… too many to write.

Jeff, on the other hand grew up idolizing classic rock guitarists like Jimmy Page and Angus Young. However, his rockabilly guitar influences are greatly inspired by Brian Setzer. Although, for the past 10 years Jeff has had a bit of a man crush on the guitar playing of Chris Cheney.

Scott's biggest double bass influences have to be Vic Victor, the great Kim Nekroman and Sting. All in all, The Misfits and The Damned are probably the biggest reasons Scott is playing music today.”

RM: Does the band belong to any cool organizations…kicked out of any states?

CC: “Al owns his own production company, "Kirby Productions" and we all sort of help out. He has a degree in digital filmmaking and will shoot and edit anything from music videos to feature length films and more. We've been kicked out of quite a few bars for playing too loud, spitting on the ceiling, taking off our clothes and walking on the bar. We almost got arrested on tour in Texas by the border patrol at 7 am because the drug dogs wouldn't stop barking at our van.”

RM: Coolest gig that comes to mind?

CC: “I would have to say the “Double Down Saloon” in Las Vegas. One of the coolest dive bars we've ever been to. All the way across the country and people went nutty for us! It was great plus in Vegas you can rock and party 24/7 there is no “last call” so we had a lot of fun. Try the "ASS JUICE" and "BACON MARTINI" you are in for a treat.”

RM: Where does the band see itself in 5 to 10 years?

CC: “Hopefully we'll be touring the majority of the year whether it be the US or Europe or wherever people want us. We love to play and we love inspiring people with new ideas. If we can live off of touring and playing our music then that’s what we want to do.”

RM: Europe and the U.S. sound cool, but where can we find you now?

CC: “RENEGADE readers can find us all over the country, however it would be easiest to find us somewhere in New England. We play everywhere and anywhere we can. Be it a giant concert theatre or a tiny dive bar, if there are people willing to hear us rock our undead hearts out we are willing to play!”

The CREEPIN CADAVERS have melted many brains, they’ve even inspired me to bust out my yu~ka~lay~lee and wax paper/harmonica on occasion, though I keep the beat like a cracker. Check out this “Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream meets Chocolate Cadaver Blood Blast with extra NUTZ!” band. Their latest album out now is called “THE LAST RIDE”…bring a cushion for the steering wheel, or use the air bag…your choice!.. And hey, if you’re a “gamer”; then listen to their krushing music featured in the video game “WET” from Bethesda and A2M for Xbox and PS3.

ROD~ON!
