DEL SHANNON'S 'RUNAWAY' FROM BEDLAM BREAKOUT 4
A SLIGHTLY OLDER VIDEO FEATURING SCOTT ON DRUMS FROM THE JUNCTION IN BRISTOL.
THE ROCK-IT DOGS Were CONCIEVED SOMETIME IN 2002. THE BRAINCHILD OF THREE FREINDS, ALL FROM DIFFERENT BANDS AND BACKGROUNDS BUT WITH ONE COLLECTIVE PURPOSE.........TO ROCK!
THIS ORIGINAL CONCOCTION OF MUSICAL MALFORMATIES CONSISTED OF
BROUGHTON HACKETT, BIG DANNY-O AND BOB-KAT. THEY STARTED A BAND DECIDING TO PULL INFLUENCES FROM ALL THE MUCICALL STYLES THEY WERE INTO; ROCKABILLY/PSYCHOBILLY, PUNK, JAZZ, SURF, SKA AND OF COURSE, DODGY HORROR B-MOVIES
THEY PLAYED A BUNCH OF SHOWS AND RECORDED A CRAPPY 8 TRACK MINI ALBUM AND THEN BOB LEFT THE BAND.
THE GUYS QUICKLY FOUND HIS REPLACEMENT IN VINCENT BLACKSHADOW AND BEGAN REHERSING OLD MATERIAL WITH HIM WITH THE PLAN BEING TO WRITE A BUNCH OF NEW SONGS.
MORE SHOWS FOLLOWED AND NEW SONGS CAME ROLLING IN, THIS TIME WITH A FASTER, MORE PUNCHY SOUND. THEN CAME ANOTHER, SLIGHTLY LESS CRAPPY 8 TRACK (BOTH HAVING BEEN RECORDED IN HACKETT'S BASEMAENT) WHICH WAS SENT TO EUROPE. THE PEOPLE AT CRAZY LOVE RECORDS LIKED THE BAND, AND DECIDED TO SIGN THEM UP!
SINCE THE RECORDING AND RELEASE OF 'CHILLS, THRILLS AND BLOOD SPILLS', THE ROCK-IT DOGS HAVE PARTED WAYS WITH BIG DANNY-O, ONLY TO MAKE WAY FOR NEW SLAPPER FRANKLYN STEIN.
THE BAND CONTINUE TO GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH PLAYING UP AND DOWN THE UK INFECTING CROWDS AT EVERY SHOW WITH THEIR OWN BLEND OF PSYCHO, PUNKABILLY AND SKA.
WATCH OUT FOR THEM IN A TOWN NEAR YOU SOON!
NEWSFLASH!!!!!
AFTER A YEAR WITH THE LINEUP OF HACKETT, STEIN AND BLACKSHADOW THAT SAW AROUND 150 SHOWS IN THE UK, FRANCE, SPAIN, AUSTRIA AND GERMANY, THE TRIO HAVE PARTED COMPANY.
FRANKLYN AND VINCENT HAVE MADE WAY FOR NEWCOMERS FORMER B*MOVIE HEROES DRUMMER SCOTT AND FORMER R.I.D ROADIE TURNED BASS PLAYER, DOCTER JEFF JEFFERSON.
THE ROCK-IT DOGS ARE BUSY REHERSING MATERIAL NEW AND OLD AND LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY SHOWS ALL OVER THE WORLD AND A POSSIBLE NEW ALBUM IN 2007.
SCOTT HAS SINCE LEFT THE BAND MAKING WAY FOR DRUMMER NO.4 AND NEW ADDITION CARL LEE LEWIS, THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST POWERFULL INCARNATION THE BAND HAS SEEN TO DATE!
SO WATCH THIS SPACE, CAUSE THIS TIME.........THEY'RE TAKING NO PRISONERS!!!
"THIS IS SO REFRESHING: PSYCHOBILLY MUSIC PLAYED HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BY WHOM IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, THAT IS FAST AND SPIRITED BY ANGRY YOUNG MEN. THE SONGS ON THIS 12 TRACKER ARE ALL SELF PENNED BAR ONE AND MORE ABOUT THAT ONE LATER. THE ROCK-IT DOGS ARE THE STANDERD PSYCHOBILLY FORMAT, BUT HAVE ADDED THEIR OWN FEEL TO IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S OFTEN CLICHE RIDDEN AND TRUE TO IT'S ROOTS WHILE ON THE OTHER HAND 'MURDER ON THE STREETS' IS ALL ABOUT BEING YOUNG IN 2006 AND STOMPS ALONG WITH AN URGENT VOCAL AND CHANT ALONG CHORUS THAT SHOULD BE AN ANTHEM BUT THE ONE COVER ON THE ALBUM CEMENTED MY LOVE FOR THIS RELEASE, 'TEENAGER IN LOVE' BOUNCES ABOUT IN SUCH A JOYOUS MANNER IT NEARLY BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE. EXCELLENT STUFF.
