Debut Album - When Lifes Comes Knockin'

No-one will like it

So... why on earth would four people, along with two double basses, four guitars, a drum kit and various other paraphernalia decide to pile into a van and undertake a seven-hour journey to a recording studio in sunny Hampshire UK on what turned out to be one of the hottest days of summer 2018?

"They won't like it" they said.

"They won't know how to label it"

"It's not rockabilly enough"

"it's too modern",

"too jazzy",

"it's too hard",

"it's too soft",

"it's, it's it's!..."

Well... you know what it's like when you're told you can't do something? ;)

We hope you like it :)

LATEST NEWS

“A modern rockabilly band fronted by a feisty femme vocalist are attracting attention already with this 13-track debut album on shiny. That lady on lead vocals is Nicola Carla and like the rest of the band - Kurt Fox on bass, Dave West on drums and Johnny J on guitar - she was born a few miles away from the Liverpool Cavern Club. The band name was inspired by the Imelda May title and there's some fine writing complemented by excellent picking from Johnny J. We are likely to be hearing more from these seasoned musicians.”
