A short lp that is the
only testament of the
short career of this
Belgian psychobilly band
that had a bright future
in front of them. They
started in the mid 80's
under the name of Riot
Guns and evolved into The
Jekills. The band never
ceased to progress until
the death of Sergio their
bass player that marked
the end of the band.
Released in the late 1989,
this self titled album
quickly sold out its
initial pressing of 1000
copies and was re-released
by Tombstone. The band is
clearly influenced by
Batmobile both for the
music and the voice but
with enough personnality.
The album is not flawless
far from it. The sound is
a bit thin, it's not
always in tune and
there's a couple of
filler, for example
"Marilyn Monroe"
x-rated tribute to the
famous actress ("I'd
like to f*** her"
doesn't represent what I
consider to be great
lyrics). But at least
half of the songs are
very goog uptempo
psychobilly numbers with
good slap-bass including
Nobody's in the street,
Girl is Mine and la
Ballade du Chomeur that
reminds of Los Carayos.
