THE MEMPHIS MURDER MEN
Demo from upcmoming "Bloody Bottles and Broken Hearts"
It's an interesting genre, the "Horror Rock 'N Roll" scene, if that's the right term. A lot of it is influenced from The Misfits, and I'm sure these guys are fans of Glen Danzig's old band. Having said that, these guys are going to have a broader appeal as they are not full-blown punk and contain some good old fashioned Rock N' Roll into the mix. Put it this way, I was very pleasantly surprised as a lot these bands tend to be more about the makeup and acting scary. These guys can play, the drumming is dead on, the backing vocals are tight, the guitars are blistering and frontman "Screamin" Elvis Sleaze can carry a tune. Granted, I've only heard 4 songs from their upcoming album, but if this is any indication, the will definately be worth picking up. Again, let me reiterate, this material is for more than just the Horror Rock and Punk crowds, fans of rockabilly, Rock, Glam and even Metal will appreciate the way they attack the music.
*side note, the singer looks a bit like Val Kilmer!
