Rockabilly breakcore anyone?
I got this album of part oc a cheap package that contained one or two I really wanted, and on first listen I didn't really get the appeal of this, but after a couple of tries I started feeling it.
A really strange mash-up of styles with rock-n-roll guitars and rhythms, riffs half-stolen from heavy metal greats, odd camp vocalisations, 80s glam rock styling, and all sorts of distorted electronics from glitchy minimalism to noisy buzzsaw gabba taking in a sort of electroclash feel along the way.
Difficult to classify, and not necessarily going to be your cup of tea, can get a bit wearing at times, but very inventive and unusual, and a bit of a breath of fresh air if you fancy something different.
