Sgt. Bilko's Krazy Combo
Buried In a Box of Broken Dreams
(Roobarb Records)

While the roster has seen permutations over the years, Berni Bilko was a constant sparkplug from the band's early '80s busking. During its incipient phase, English Psychobilly hurled Union Avenue shadings with boisterous Punk acculturation; the sound was spartan, and witnessing the development of something wonderfully crisp roused one to allegiance. Berni's lyrical pen sometimes ventured along idiosyncratic boulevards, but the playing was ever forcible and representative of a fashion now termed "old school."
That classification to one side, abundant merit yet resounds.
