![]() ![]() A full drummer had been added to the trio and Koefte can now fully concentrates on the vocals. With Break the Rules, Mad Sin return to Maybe Crazy but instead of returning to the sound of their first albums, they pursue in the way that was announced by Amphigory. Intro – Deep Black zone – Where Will It Go (Dub version) – No More – Fight Back – Sick World – All Hell Breaks Loose – Run To Live – Dirty Lies – Killer – No Mercy – Born Bad – She’s The One – Time Warp – Steal Machine – Where Will It Go Mad Sin – Break the Rules Mad Sin – Break the Rules Later reissued on cd in 2003 by Crazy Love Records – CLCD 64200Ī big “Thank You!” to Semmel for the infos. Discographyġ987 -S/T – Maybe Crazy LP 001 (black vinyl and 433 copies in clear vinyl) Since then Sebastian has played with the Hot-Riffs, The Paralysers and today his “Mark Harman meets Cliff Gallup” guitar style can be heard in The Tin Cans. The Scannerz continued a bit with a new guitar player (Michael) and Gonzo back on drums, playing more in a 60’s beat style but it didn’t last and by the end of the decade the band was no longer in activity. The band kept on with another drummer (Johannes Bokskopf wasn’t able to join the band full time, which maybe explains why you can’t see the face of the drummer on the cover of the album) called Gammel but the musical direction changed and Semmel left the band. Sadly this is the sole release of the band (with the exception of one demo). She sings b-vox on a couple of tracks and lead on two, including the cover of The Ricochets’ Night Ship and the ska/new wave/psychobilly Change Myself. The songs are well done, with a will to make melodic and original tunes. It’s solid neo-rockabilly with a touch of psychobilly featuring an excellent lead guitar and a powerful slap bass with a sound very close to Restless (Vanish Without A trace/Girl Invisible era). ![]() They eventually got a contract with the newly created Maybe Crazy records (later home of Mad Sin, Scallywags) but Gonzo left before the recording because he had to go to the army.The Lp was recorded with Johannes Bokskopf who Semmel knew from another musical project.The album is quite good and has aged rather well. Finally Klaudia Menzel joined the band sharing the vocals with Semmel. Then Pennmütz left and Gonzo took the drums. Murphy stayed with the band for less than a year then left leading Semmel to take over the vocals duties and the band carried on as a trio. Furthermore, it comes in colored vinyl with a superb gatefold sleeve featuring a very nice drawing by the same artist who did the Scannerz’ cover. Two songs, the more ‘traditional’ dare I say, feature a double bass while they use an electric bass for the more garage influenced stuff (Link Wray’s Rawhide.)Ĭrazy, Crazy, Crazy features classic psychobilly and even some historic releases which is a reason good enough to get it. It’s a bit young and rough, but very personnal. The first mini album of POX (Psychobilly Orchestra X) “It’s So Dark” completes the set. Those two songs come from their debut album, a good mix of garage (a cover of Hasil Adkins), and Psychobilly. The Voodoo Dolls were one (if not the first) Swedish psychobilly band. The two covers sound more like the band having fun during a rehearsal than a proper studio recording, and I suppose they were not recorded with the idea to be released (the vocals being rough and approximate.) Classic mid 80’s psychobilly with a light country flair on the guitar for the latter. Criminal Boiz and Ship Of Fools are penned by the band and are quite good. The next four tracks are by the Scallywags. ![]() This is a pure shot of adrenalin and slap bass straight into your brain. The first track is an unissued song by Mad Sin (Blind Spot) featuring the classic trio line-up. Mad Sin: Blind Spot – Scallywags: Criminal Boiz – Scallywags: Ship Of Fools – Scallywags: Double Talkin’ Baby – Scallywags: Your baby Blue Eyes – Voodoo Dolls: Chicken Walk -P.O.X.: Sick Brains – P.O.X.: Boppin’ The Blues – P.O.X.: It’s So Dark – P.O.X.: Psycho’s Mind – P.O.X.: Rawhide -Voodoo Dolls: Poison In Your DrinksĪ very interesting compilation released by Maybe Crazy from Germany. ![]()
