Psychobilly

Psychobilly is a musical style that combines elements of punk, rockabilly, and rhythm and blues. It emerged in the late 1970s in the UK and US, and is known for its upbeat, energetic sound. The style is characterized by fast tempos, distorted guitars, and often, double bass. The lyrics typically focus on themes of horror, rebellion, and death. Its history is rooted in punk, rockabilly, and surf music, but it also draws influences from metal, jazz, and blues. Psychobilly bands often feature horror-themed imagery, such as horror movie posters and monster masks.
