About Me

Get ready....Lock your doors, Hide your trash, and Guard your women.... Here come those beer guzzli'n, tattoo sporti'n, cowboy hat wearing, womanizing, dumpster diving throwbacks from the rebel days of rockabilly.....THE SPEEDKINGS!!!!! We're a little 'ol rockabilly band from northeast Pennsylvania playing anything from Johnny Cash to Mike Ness to The Misfits or anything we damn well please all mixed together in a special blend of Western Rockabilly dipped in Americana and sprinkled with just a little Surf all served up Rock n Roll style! So fire up your hotrod, circle the wagons and wax your board cause we just might be a commi'n to a town near you! *****
