Any Psychobilly genre fans here? (need help)

Mercury · 10-31-2011, 11:02 PM

I was listening to the radio late last night and there was this trippy DJ who was playing all kinds of weird shit and this psychobilly type song came on and, fuck, I can't remember the lyrics...

First of all, I wasn't even aware of this genre really. I knew about Rockabilly, but this Psychobilly stuff is like Elvis in a horror film on PCP.

So, any fans?

The song I'm looking for was really strange. It was really fast and the lead singer was very distorted and everytime he'd say "Psycho!" some crazy backup singer girls would repeat "Psycho!" in frantic voices.

It's a long shot, but worth a try.

Thx.

I'm a big psychobilly fan. Hard to tell what song it was with your description though. Heres some to check out, maybe you can find the same style...

I'm into it, this stuff it right up my alley.

It's like to see stuff going more 'roots' but still with a modern twist...

Some of the newer stuff... Thinking 'Robot Hive/Exodus' near the end, but maybe there is similar stuff along the way...

But I wouldn't call this psychobilly necessarily....
Clutch has always been just 'stoner metal' in my head or just a straight up rock band, as they gotten older and matured, from their hardcore roots.

Self-Titled is still my favourite Clutch album, since we're mentioning the band!

I think this would make a great concert. I do not like the Hits from a Bong cover, it reminds me of those "punk" covers of shitty late 80's early 90's pop songs, kind of campy.

**SageTree** · 11-02-2011, 06:42 AM

B movies are all about the campy... it's part of the style... so maybe that is where this one comes from stylistically?

adventure · 11-02-2011, 07:21 AM

I don't get the same effect. and even with B movies I think campy is often code for shitty
