“Cross Contamination “
Holland's oldest Psychobilly band in its original lineup has teamed up with the seasoned men of PETER PAN SPEEDROCK, and each band showcases what they can do with five songs from the other band.
BATMOBILE kicks things off with five tracks from PETER PAN SPEEDROCK. The first song “Hellalujah“ is a classic Rockabilly horror punk song delivered with a dark vocal tone. It fits perfectly with old B-movies. The next song hits the gas pedal a bit harder. Here, Psychobilly is offered that swings between modern hardness and the classic pure Psychobilly a la THE METEORS. A rumbling guitar paired with the dry attack of the double bass sets the pace here. A nice piece. A typical BADMOBILE track. The following pieces slow down a bit again, but are still played in the familiar and beloved BATMOBILE manner. A bit over the top, with the atmosphere of wonderfully terrible B-horror films. Combined with the distinctive vocals and the clicking bass, the songs have a completely unique insane atmosphere. An atmosphere that makes you love BATMOBILE.
PETER PAN SPEEDROCK takes over from track 6, starting strong with the legendary song “Transsylvanian Express“ by BATMOBILE. Motor Rock'n'Roll meets psycho madness. The guys do this quite well. Not necessarily innovative, but very solid, the song is enjoyable. The band from Eindhoven hasn't really convinced me live so far. Somehow, it all felt too much geared towards hard Motor Rock'n'Roll. I'd rather listen to MOTÖRHEAD if I want to hear that kind of music. However, on this split CD, the band shows that they can indeed vary their sound. The songs still strongly resonate with the band's unique sound, but there's something about the songs that excites me. Is it because they are BATMOBILE songs, or because PETER PAN SPEEDROCK really put in the effort? Whatever it is, the second half is also enjoyable.
So on this split CD (which is also available on vinyl, of course), there is great Psychobilly, as expected, and crazy Motor Rock'n'Roll with a psycho and rough trash influence. A fine record!
