Milwaukee wildmen
Milwaukee wildmen is a Holland based band playing so called psychobilly. They are one of the highlights of the second generation of psycho. influenced by bands like Primus, Sick of it All, Life of Agony, Nine Inch Nails on one hand and good old rockabilly/rocknroll heroes like Sonny Burgess, Carl Perkins, Elvis, Stray Cats, The Meteors on the other, MWM melted all of these styles together in an eclectic mix never heard before in the psychobilly scene. CDs until now are:
- 1996 hard times (tombstone records)
- 1998 death's deputy (tombstone records)
- 2000 scars remain (tombstone records)
- 2002 psychosomatic (tombstone records)
- 2004 To the Bone Best of MWM (Tombstone records)
- 2006 Strike Back (drunkabilly records)
As a well recognized dynamic live act, the band played and still is doing gigs all over the world, from St. Petersburg to LA and Finland to Spain supported by a huge and still growing fan base.
New album MWM October 2006: Strike back
These diehard rock & rollers have honed their craft over the past twelve years, goin’ psycho to the bone from Russia to California. And Milwaukee Wildmen always deliver, no matter if they’re playing at a Mexican barbecue where the LAPD storms in to bust ‘illegal activities’, or at a local pub so jampacked that gorgeous girls get drunk just by lickin’ the sweat of your back.
What sets Milwaukee Wildmen apart from the pack is a truly unique style. Their riot-inciting drums, rattling stand-up bass and reigning guitar sounds bring all kinds of good music to life. The psychobilly essentials are firm, but on top of that is a whole lot more: from fierce metal riffing to hardcore speedbeats and stompin’ countryfied chunks to crush a linedance dead in its tracks. Take rockabilly to the extreme, and you’re not even close.
On the brand spankin’ new album ‘Strike Back’ they also live up to their reputation of revitalizing old favorites. Eighties pop hitsong ‘Camouflage’ gets the trademark Wildmen treatment and comes out as a howling blood n’ guts blast of rock. The climax is a morbid tribute to The Meteors, as they dig up the classic ‘Slow Down You Grave Robbing [...]’.
There’s no way to slow down with Milwaukee Wildmen. ‘Strike Back’ brings ten delicious kicks in the head, for those who like their rock as real as it gets. The sort of tunes that’ll stick between your ears like Traci Lords on a hot rod.
By now you’re in the know: ‘Strike Back’ is bound to shake up the party hard, so every wayward soul should enjoy this slice of royal rock & roll...
