Psychobilly was one of the biggest youth cults of the 1980s, remembered for the followers’ gravity-defying quiffs and aggressive “wrecking” dance. The music became an adrenalized mix of rockabilly and punk featuring lyrics often inspired by horror and science fiction films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlood On The Cats\u003c\/i\u003e was the first compilation to try to define psychobilly and many fans’ first exposure to a genre that, at that stage, was still unformed, being part of a worldwide movement inspired by punk but devoted to primitive rock ‘n’ roll of the 1950s and 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of the groups included here played The Klub Foot at The Clarendon Hotel Ballroom in Hammersmith which opened in 1982 and soon became the psychobilly scene’s focal point, only closing in 1988 when the venue was knocked down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeader P Paul Fenech claimed that “only The Meteors are pure psychobilly” and the London group certainly kicked off the movement. They are present here in their original line up with ‘Graveyard Stomp’ from 1981, as well as the Fenech-lead later trio with their Top 3 Indie Chart hit ‘I’m Just A Dog’ from 1984. Offshoot bands The Escalators and The Tall Boys also feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC ONE:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlood On The Cats Original Album\u003cbr\u003e1 Alien Sex Fiend – Wild Women (Version)\u003cbr\u003e2 Sunglasses After Dark – Swamp Baby\u003cbr\u003e3 Bone Orchard – Fats Terminal\u003cbr\u003e4.
