We’re still doing the American roots stuff, mixed with a little Crampsey vibe, but it’s so much more this time around. Our new album is a journey, not just back to the early days of the band in the 1990s, but also to my own musical beginnings - bands from the 80s, bands from the 50s, everything from the Cure to Little Richard and Elvis. With a refreshing hint of deadly soul, Speedbuggy is a force to be reckoned with as they stand alone among the imitators. Effortlessly showcasing their rock and roll chops, the band weaves between swamp billy blues and cow punk twang. “Sonic West”, the latest release from Speedbuggy USA, shows a band comfortably in their prime. Prior to the release of “Sonic West” the band sat down with seasoned journalist Janiss Garza for a quick chat: We give nothing less than our all and shake the stage like an earthquake.” On stage, Speedbuggy USA delivers an explosion of raw energy with true passion and plenty of grit. Real stories about real people that seem to be lacking in songs these days. “We write songs about hard jobs, rough life, bad breaks, drinking, and loving.
“It’s honest heartfelt music,” says Speedbuggy USA’s lyricist and front man, Timbo. A style loud and proud enough to cut through the noise of clubs, festivals, and roadhouses across the globe packed with crowds looking for something different but familiar. So many influences, it’s impossible to peg just one. There’s also plenty of Los Angeles history in there, including influences from Rank and File, X, The Cramps, and Tex & the Horseheads thrown into the mix as well. Inspired by rock and roll sounds of The Clash, The Who, Johnny Thunders, and The Rolling Stones, along with roots of Little Richard, Elvis, and Johnny Cash, as well as the hard twangin’ Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens. Thundering razor-sharp guitars, rumbling bass, and infectious drum grooves with howling dark vocals.Īrriving at their unique sound through the prism of experience, Speedbuggy USA’s persistence and love is for some of the greatest music of the past. Speedbuggy USA is one of the hardest playing bands in rock music, putting their nitro-fueled swampbilly, soul, cow-punk brand on the soundtrack of our lives… And the style? That’s theirs, too. It’s the musical equivalent of a juggernaut rampaging its way across the Southern states, its precious cargo rocking and rolling in the vast space behind the driver, and with no stop sign capable of putting a halt to the speeding behemoth.
The sound that Speedbuggy USA offers is direct, almost unstoppable. 02 - Dailey & Vincent - Hillbilly HighwayĠ3 - Damion Suomi & The Minor Prophets - CamelĠ7 - Danny Paisley & The Southern Grass - Blink Of An EyeĠ8 - Dave Favours & The Roadside Ashes - Better Daysġ8 - The Deadly Snakes - Everybody Seems To Think (You've Got Some Kind Of Hold On Me)Ģ1 - Deadstring Brothers - Like A California WildfireĢ3 - Dean Alexander - Reaching For Straws
