The Bank Robbers

Delinquent Rock'n'Roll Gang

(FOLC Records)

The band's stout Neo-Rockabilly is enough to prompt purchase; it rouses to a degree recalling parties that thrived despite broken windows. Eddie, Bo, and Dick Glasser touches further validate goneness. Seven slices in, the debonair "Berlin Cafe" raps its diamond-tipped walking-stick; Jazzy elan, with all the polish of a high-hat nightspot dancefloor. (Sign on the door: "No wolves allowed.") Thereafter comes bop's bold reentrance.

Recommended: "Black Sue," "Hip Hip Mama," "Knockin' At Your Door," "I Fooled the Devil," "Berlin Cafe," "Leave Me Alone," "Darling, Please"
