Horropops-Hell Yeah ****
The first lady of psychobily and the presedent Patricia and Nekroman released The Horropops first album Hell Yeah! in early 2004 and it is one of the genres best albums of all time. Psychobiliy was made popular by the likes of Reverend Horten Heat and The Cramps in the late 1970s and the early 1980s. True to the rockabiliy fashion of Chey Atkins, early Elvis Presley, and Eddie Cochren and thick in stand up bass and rockabily guitar the Horrorpops mesh that with dark and sometimes haunting lyrics, while not as dark as The Nekromantix still pretty errie at times.
Songs like the opener 'Julia' and 'Dotted With Hearts' are slower songs that focus mostly on the voice of Patricia. Other songs like 'Ghouls' 'Kool Flattop' and 'Psychobitches Outta Hell' are more fast paced in your face and unappologetic. 'Girl In A Cage' comes across as almost a ska song at times and a harder rocker at others. A very original song. 'Where They Wander' will undoubtably go down in history as the bands signature song, with a killer chorus that is sure to be stuck in your head after you first listen and full of great background vocals this is easily the best song the band has recorded so far in their career. Other songs like 'Baby Lou Tattoo' and 'Whats Under My Bed' are great songs as well that are very catchy and easy to sing along with. 'Horrorbeach' and 'Miss Take' may be throw aways but thats only two songs out of thirteen.
The musicianship is very good here. Patricia is a phenominal bass player, and that its a stand up bass even ups the anti. Nekroman and Karsten are both accomplished guitar players especially Nekroman who also fronts The Nekromantix. Neidermeier is a very solid drummer as well. Psychobily is a very cool genre of rock n' roll that offers something different to the listeners of today. It also transfers you to the 50's when rockabily was popular. The Horrorpops are easily one of the best bands in the genre and this album does a good job of introducing new fans to the music, and while its not as good as their second effort Bring It On this is still a great album that showed promise where there next album took the tourch and ran with it.
