Back in the Day, 1985

X Invaders

"Storm Boys" b/w "Lover Boy"   single

(Pinner)




Early 1980s English juggernauts X Invaders did release full-length platter X Sessions, but it was not available for present review. This 45, though, proved sufficient for transporting this writer backward to a time and place in which neo-Rockabilly shouted with gleeful freshness and absolutely no regard for status quo strictures. The crisp style's creators sported natty glad rags and took razors to their heads. And X Invaders' amphetemine reading of classic moves spurred to feral footwork cooler members of their generation. Rock'n'Roll will always be.
