The Grave Brothers vs Adios Pantalones – Clash Of The Primitives
Split CD/LP 2013 Drunkabilly Records
Last year Drunkabilly Records released ‘Clash Of The Primitives’ a split record with ‘The Grave Brothers‘ and ‘Adios Pantalones‘. ‘Clash Of The Primitives’ is a record that gives a good representation of what Drunkabilly records is all about: “For all your alternative Psycho-Rockabilly, Country, Surf, Rock’n’Roll, Garage needs.”
The first six songs of ‘Clash Of The Primitives‘ are by ‘The Grave Brothers‘, a band which members are/were active in other bands: The Tall Boys, The Andrews Surfers, Fifty Foot Combo, The Mudmen, Unite Against Society and lots more. Musically, their songs are also the most interesting contribution to this record with a sound that varies from punked up country and bluegrass to county infused psychobilly. For the fans of ‘Moonshine Reunion‘ with a twist of some pyscho punk rock. ‘Adios Pantalones‘ on the other hand must mainly rely on their solid old-school psychobilly (influenced by bands as ‘The Meteors‘ and Demented Are Go‘) with a high dose of humour and fun to stand their ground. 7,5/10
