Spellbound

Live 'n' Loud At the Earthquake

(Diablo Records)



As is ever the matter in superior Psychobilly, frenetically slapped doghouse blusters at the fore. But it does not throw out capital racket alone; it enjoys reliable mates in six-string marauding, mercilessly pummeled skins, and bellowed snarls of stentorian manner.

Diablo has reissued this 2022 disc with a new cover, and is making these rumbustious recordings available in both vinyl and digital forms. 

Unfortunately, the members of Spellbound have since set out on disparate routes. But they have to their credit some 40 years of European wrecking and, of course, this rowdy document by which they can be appreciated into perpetuity.

Recommended: "Last Breath," "Locked Away," "Old School Boogie," "Johnny Roy," "You Scare the Shit Out Of Me," "White Lines," "Joe"

Video: "Old School Boogie" (studio version)
