This is a fantastic psychobilly band who are particularly big in the US. This genre of music gets very little publicity which is a shame because if people heard these tracks they'd definitely be chart toppers, particularly 'miss take', 'Where they wander', and 'Julia'. If you haven't heard this genre of music before then this is a great place to start. I guess Psychobilly is best described as 50's rock n roll infused with punk. I'm trying to think of a band that's similar to them that's well known...I guess they sound like No doubt sometimes, only with more attitude, and with a more solid genre. Patricia's voice is really awesome. I'd say this is their best album.
Album Notes: The Horropops: Patricia (vocals, upright bass); Kartsen, Nekroman (guitar, background vocals); Niedermeier (bass, background vocals). Recorded at Ventura Recording Studio, Ventura, California.
Album Reviews: Entertainment Weekly (2/13/04, p.72) - "Crypt-obsessed bombast abounds, along with [an] engaging wealth of girl-group hooks." - Rating: B+
