Album Reviews

The Creepshow is a Canadian psychobilly band that I had never heard of before until this album arrived on my doorstep a while back. “Sell Your Soul” originally came out in 2006 on Dynamite Records / Crazy Love Records and was followed in 2008 by “Run For Your Life”. Now People Like You Records is re-releasing the band’s debut with a bonus DVD featuring a live show of the band.

“Sell Your Soul” starts off with an intro that immediately sets the mood (think old horror / sci fi movie) before launching into some primo psychobilly with “Creatures Of The Night”… a galloping bass, yummy guitars, a sexy girl called Sarah Sin wriggling around the mic and some nice keyboards atop a catchy chorus. That’s pretty much the formula for every single song on the album but it never gets old. On “Shake” they prove they’ve got the 50s rockabilly flair down pat while “Doghouse” (with guest vocals from Matadors’ singer Hooch) shows they can rock pretty hard as well. For fans of Horrorpops and Nekromantix!
