Back In the Day, 1999
Frantic Flattops
Rock-N-Roll Murder
(Get Hip Recordings)

Their meteoric rise and fall left behind three CDs, of which Rock-N-Roll Murder was the last. By this moment, they had transmogrified from the straight rockabilly unit of previous waxings into one that incorporated punk, Mex, and strident brass into their presentation. Those discs, and indefatigable touring, resulted in a plethora of fans who doubtless mourned the band's premature dissolution.

Recommended: "Stick Around," "Sugar Daddy," "Trail of Tears," "All I Wanna Do," "You Better Move," "Matador del Mar," "Burnin' Love"
