Anyone listen to this genre?

I like Tiger Army, but trying to find more bands.

It's like punk, rock, and country combined.

I´m really at a loss as to how to define this genre. I think the true ones are gone. It´s getting harder, and sometimes a bit trippy. Both are OK with me.

I´m listening to alot of Europeans who do it, with a tinge of surf and a bit more heavy handedness mixed in.

The only thing I really think about when I think about rockabilly is George Harrison.

Get a copy of Bad Music for Bad People. This should be in everybody´s library.

I like it small doses. Big fan of the Reverend Horton Heat and one of my best friends is about the biggest Cramps fan on the planet. I'm not sure the Groovin Ghoulies count, but they are fun.

Scratch Acid did perhaps the best rockabilly song ever "Greatest Gift".

True rockabilly I'll take Southern Culture on the Skids over anyone.

pyscho - I've always like Rev. Horton Heat. Great to see live.

He's generally classified as country, but damn, he's as true rockabilly as it gets: Junior Brown.
