Comment:

Until this weekend, the only Pyschobilly bands I was familiar with were The Reverend horton Heat, Southern Culture on the Skids and the Legendary Shack Shakers. A friend lent me "The Psychobilly Sickness" documentary and after a couple of nights of researching and downloading I put together this compilation and learned the following (apologies if this is all common knowledge but it's all new to me and this is my attempt at a primer.)
Psychobilly is a marriage of Punk and Rockabilly that began officially with the Meteors in London in the early 80's. The first mention of the term Psychobilly was in Johnny Cash's '76 opener here, referring to the most interesting Cadillac I am aware of. The Rockabilly revival of the late 70's and early 80's was clearly a precursor to the movement and many of the bands cite the Stray Cats as an influence. The Cramps are actually predecessors to the Meteors but while they don't accept the Psychobilly classification, they are related and another strong influence. The Meteors maintain that they are still the only pure Psychobilly band in existance.
The original Scene faded in England and the States in the 90s but remained strong in Japan, Germany and the Netherlands and has resurfaced throughout Europe and the Americas. The common themes of death, horror movies and hot rods are consistant throughout, as are the trademark Upright Bass, excessive Tatoos and extreme hairstyles.
Title is from the Psychobilly equivalent of the Mosh Pit ("Wrecking" is slam dancing with punches instead of pushes) and is also the name of the websight where I got alot of my information. Thanks to French Connection for the Legendary Shack Shakers' tune. Link if you dare.
