Frenzy- In The Blood
release date: September 14, 2010 on People Like You Records
Frenzy is an UK psychobilly act formed in 1983. They are made up of Steve Whitehouse (Upright bass & lead vocals), Steve Eaton (Guitars & backing vocals) and Ad Seviour (Drums & backing vocals). This is their 13th album and this is the first time I’ve heard of them. “Time Machine” starts off this album with fast-paced instrumentation and a neo-rockabilly feel to it. Highlighted tracks on this album include “Hero” (definitely psychobilly and if you’re not familiar with such, just imagine Chris #2 of Anti-Flag on stand-up bass), “Johnny Rocket”, “In The Blood” (arguably one of the stronger tracks), “Forever Ticking Clock” (similar to the first track and has a very old-school Stray Cats feel to it), “Adrenaline” and “Dark Winter” (longest track and probably the strongest of all). In conclusion, this is another fun psychobilly release and this year has been chock full of a few. It’s a style that I feel is highly unappreciated and Frenzy is another group worth checking out if you’re a fan of the style.
