The Sharks – First and Last Live The Sharks – First and Last Live In the end, it doesn’t matter if you call it Psychobilly or Rockabilly or whatever, you must own this album, that’s all you need to know. Both Wilson and Whitehouse, who share the vocal duties, show a solid mastering of their instruments and a knack for writing songs that stay in your head. The music is punchy and aggressive yet melodic and clean. Their songs are about vampires, skeletons, ghosts (trains and rockers), and Charlie, a schoolboy who cuts the head of his classmates and family with a chainsaw. While Rockabilly bands are happy to sing about girls and boppin’ all night, the Sharks embrace the Psychobilly idiom with a delectable pleasure. Their sound is closer to Restless than the wildness of the Meteors or the garage sound of the Ricochets. “Phantom Rockers” the Sharks’ debut album falls exactly somewhere between those two categories. There’s a thin line between Neo-Rockabilly and Psychobilly.
