Guitar Slingers
Psycho Cop
4-track EP
(Diablo Records)





The subculture-vs-authorities theme was prevalent in rock 'n roll's halcyon years. (See any 1950s drive-in JD flick.) And it's since loomed whenever outsider cultural phenomena challenge the zeitgeist.

In this futurist fabulation, battle rages between Mega City Punks and Psycho Cops. Abuse of power always merits a pants kick. As depicted in the video, one titular enfant terrible is exaggerated to risibly cartoon proportions -- not unlike Judge Dredd or Robocop.

Swerving psychobilly rockets with the assist of perfectly lunatic guitar savagery. Whenever  Doyley's involved, fierce fun will erupt. Hyper-twists and textured facets abound in arrangements that rivet. 


Recommended: "Psycho Cop," "Mega City Punks," "Blackout," "Whatever Happened To Rock 'n' Roll?"
