The Booze Bombs - Rockin' Off The Grid (2009)

The Booze Bombs are quote, Rockin' Off The Grid, on an album with the same suitable name. They are a 50's style rockabilly band from Germany, and they will knock your socks off at the sock hop, so to speak. "All Night Long" is full of energy and life, but at the same time is a little subversive and dark, makes me want to dance all the way down to the Workman's Emporium and buy a leather jacket. My favorite track is "Friday Night Blues", so far it gets my vote for best song of 2009, the vocals are sensational. When it comes on in my car, I feel like James Dean in a Honda Accord, super cool with a very economical style. The band can sometimes have an almost punkish feel, but for the most part, like on "Rock Me Baby" stay very traditional, which I like, not many bands do that now-a-days. Annie Leopardo* on the vocals was definitely born in the wrong decade, she wails with a deep sultry voice, then gets real high with sharp pitched yelps, very cool. People with GTOs must own this, and if you are hosting any 50's style dance parties soon, "Rockin off the Grid" is a definite cannot miss.

*Any chick named Annie Leopardo must sing in a rockabilly band, and chances are, that band will be REALLY good.
