One of the biggest talent emerging from the ever-expanding Russian scene has to be THE MAGNETIX. Hailing from Tula, south of Moscow the classic three-piece has been making a name for itself within a few months of existence. Formed by former Stressor guitar ace and lead singer Taras Savchenko , doghouse maniac Dimitry Bikov and skin banger Alexander Vtorov the threesome stunned the Psychobilly microcosm earlier this year 'With Their Amazing First Album' (literally !!!). As their initial offering has been well received since day one and did all well with the critics, it was decided to keep on spreading the word of distortion-free guitar playing, zombie-free song-writing and all-crazy stompin' sounds as soon as possible and to waste no further time to nail a follow-up release again on Germany's premier Crazy Love label...BOO-BOP-A-BOO'.....From first guitar go, these Sputnik kats make sure that didn't intend to reinvent neither the wheel nor Psychobilly as a genre when they were booked into the studio in January 2011. These guys just created a full-blown Rockabilly frenzy that was most popular during the mid-eighties heyday of this type of music and leaves the listener with the shadow of a doubt whether this release is a long-lost gem from the good ole days or just an instant classic (the later one more likely!). Saying all that THE MAGNETIX are far more than copy-cat Batmobile or an 80's Psychobilly cover band and the second album teems with cool compositions, infectious enthusiasm and healthy variations of speeds and themes. Just to prove me right I'd like to mention that eleven out of thirteen tracks are originals. The album kicks off with the wild, soon-to-be band anthem It's Magnetic Me and the rockin' doesn't stop until final touches of their tribute-ish cover of the Rochee & The Sarnos rarity Woman Eater are given. Though fillers are indistinguishable, other highlights include the wild stomping Caveman Beat, the furious re-recording of Stressor holdover Asteroid Rock, the catchy Squarehead, future dance floor filling instrumental Out-Of-Space Theme and the wild boppin' Tastes Like a Martian. Strong buy for anyone who is into traditional Psychobilly sounds and wild Neo-Rockabilly craziness.
