  Psychobilly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychobilly is a genre of music generally described as a mix between the British punk rock of the 1970s and the American rockabilly of the 1950s.

The psychobilly music of the early 1980s (The Meteors, The Sharks, Batmobile) was similar to punk rock or 1960s garage rock (with obvious rockabilly influences), but the psychobilly of the late 1980s and the 1990s (Nekromantix, Demented Are Go, Mad Sin) had a different sound which was a bit harder.

All debates over definitions and origins of the word “psychobilly” aside, the Meteors are the band that first spawned psychobilly as a music scene and subculture in the early 1980s…and have been running with it ever since.
With perhaps an exception or two (Meteors during different periods), the upright (or stand-up) bass is the most integral component of psychobilly music…the instrument is both the genre's link to rockabilly and the key to its development.
That means we support the traditional aspects of the psychobilly scene such as its ties to 50s rockabilly and garage music…but we also give the thumbs up to the current influences of Metal and Goth on the genre.
