THE GODDAMN GALLOWS play „gutterbilly” or „hobocore”, a unique blend of country, blues, rockabilly and rock and roll, „but still with just enough hardcore and punk influence to make your parents hate it.”

It was founded as a trio in 2004 somewhere in Michigan, in the heart of the rust belt. Once it was named as steel belt because of the grade of industrialization. The decline occurred gradually, as rust eats iron. It started in the middle of the past century, in the heyday of American dream. But a nightmare came to the end of the century: shrinking cities, abandoned industrial buildings and homes, high unemployment and crime rates – just because the economic courses were changed during the dreaming. For example there is Motor City, aka Detroit, where a music empire, the Motown, was established on the black workers. More than 1 million residents ran away from there, and the city lost 61.4 % of its population (1950: 1 849 568, 2010: 713 777).

The band moved forward West, where they lived in abandoned buildings, squatter camps, storage units and shoebox apartments, and mainly on the road. Where they picked up stray musicians along the way during endless tours, so the band is a quintet today, and you can find there such instruments like accordion, banjo, mandolin and washboard too. Fortunately their drive has taken them to Budapest at RNR666 PARTY. Here are more smashing shots about that frantic show by Márk Martinkó.

You can hear the latest album The Maker here. New album is coming in 2017.

In 1992 when the coach of the gothic country band Denver Gentlemen temporarily broke down David Eugene Edwards went forward with 16 Horsepower, while Slim Cessna has found his Auto Club, a christian, but apocalyptic country band. And so punk, that Jello Biafra signed them for his label Alternative Tentacles. (For what he was critizised by the dumb punk community.) But the new album ‘The Commandments According To SCAC,’ will be released soon by their own label SCACUNINCORPORATED in the US, and Glitterhouse Records in Europe.

PINK SLIP DADDY

was a psychobilly punk band in Philadelphia from the late 80s up to 1995. Next year 12 Golden Country Greats was released by Ween with Ben Vaughn as producer.

The band was reformed in 2012, and in 2016 they have „returned to rock action with a vengeance, having recently played a string of calamitous live shows and a new 7” EP, a rollicking, raucous heartfelt celebration of the music of teen pop idol Fabian Forte, and the golden age of Philadelphia rock ‘n’ roll.”

Fabian’s music career lasted exactly so far while Elvis Presley as a sergeant of US 3rd Armoured Division served in Western Germany between 1959-60. A short film about Fabian, the manufactured idol.

But more important that here is a 7″ vinyl with 3 new songs on French label Kizmiaz Records. The first ones after 22 years

so PINK SLIP DADDY  is a psychobilly punk band in Philadelphia again. And you can find some old songs on their soundcloud free to download

Singer Andy Savage said

As I see it, humanity is something that’s partly performed and party instinctual. Like puppets, we sometimes are controlled by parts of ourselves that we never really become acquainted with, but are always there. This song is me confronting that shadow
