Influences:The RoadKings we're never a traditional rockabilly band...that's the reason they could draw more than the 40 or 50 rockabilly nazis in each town...god bless the punks! We listened to everything from Johnny Caroll to the Misfits, from Joe Clay to the Clash and the Cramps, from Johnny Horton to early ZZ Top, Fabulous Thunderbirds and Stray Cats...we did everything we could to NOT put on a great little re-creation of the 50's...we would intentionally try to make it a hybrid just to piss the traditionalist off...no matter how great of players the neo-billies we're, we hated their lack of imagination and the lack of sex onstage...it was all about being raw and honest.
Sounds Like:If Johnny Horton, Joe Strummer and Danzig all grew up in Texas and started a band it would sound like the RoadKings....rawk on muther-truckers!!!
Type of Label: Indie
