Back In the Day, 1996

The Belmont Playboys

Wolf Patrol

(Deep South Records)


North Carolina's Belmont Playboys shook the 1990s scene to pieces, and those hip to the tip enjoyed the hell out it. The combo sported confidence-to-kill cat-style and unholstered chops fearsome enough to cash the check. In their rock-ribbed, disciplined output, Hillbilly slouchings kicked it in a thoroughly Rockabilly detonation. 

When the Belmont Playboys strode stages, when their discs spun (Wolf Patrol was their second) , they were the uproarious rebel music no less than any other pomped rowdies that dipped calloused digits into Murray's tins.

Wolf Patrol was reissued in 2007 by Amalgam Digital.

Recommended: "My Boy Flat Top," "Paralyzed," "Bull By the Horns," "One and Only," "Right Around the Corner," "Caravan," "One Woman Man," "Got It Made (In the Shade)," "The Only One"

Video: "My Boy Flat Top" / "One and Only" (live, 1996)
