psychobilly (green)

The Meteors are a pioneering British band credited with creating and popularizing the psychobilly genre, a fusion of rockabilly and punk rock characterized by its fast tempo, distorted guitar riffs, and horror-themed lyrics. Formed in 1980, The Meteors infused traditional rockabilly music with elements of punk, surf rock, and B-movie aesthetics, creating an energetic and rebellious style.

The band's music typically features themes of horror, sci-fi, and macabre humor, with their live shows famously dubbed "Pure Psychobilly Mayhem." Fronted by vocalist and guitarist P. Paul Fenech, The Meteors have maintained a cult following over the decades and are widely regarded as the first psychobilly band, laying the groundwork for the genre’s growth throughout the 80s and beyond. Classic tracks like “Graveyard Stomp” and “In Heaven” are defining examples of their raw, aggressive sound and their dedication to the psychobilly subculture.
