This German quartet (guitar - double bass - drums - sax) plays modern rockabilly and rock'n'roll at a frenzied beat that sometimes borders on old school psychobilly (when the "billy" was still present). The saxophone brings a very personal touch and gives them a sound of their own, but if I had to make a comparison, I'd say they could be the little brothers of Hot Boogie Chillun. You'll also hear some Sonics influences too.
Formed in 2005 they've waited 5 years to release their debut album and it shows. They are very well rehearsed and tight. You can hear that a special attention has been put into the arrangements and the sound is powerful, far from your usual "let's release a record 2 months after we got together..." one often finds.
The other positive point is that 12 of the songs are very well crafted originals.
Nervous Breakdown take every good aspect of 80's neo-rockabilly and take them into the 21st century for a sound that owes nothing to the past. A band to follow.
