Let it Burn

What do your songs talk about?

Well, we talk about horror tales, it can be a real horror tale or fancifulbut we talk about problems of society and politics, running away a little bit from thepsychobilly apolitical scenario. For example, “Exploitation” is about AnimalExploitation, and we talk about this in a exploitation horror gender scenario.the lyrics portrays the the lyrics portray the suffering that millions of animals spendevery day in the hands of the agricultural industry and how it accelerates thedestruction of the environment, so we end up being politicians but do not escapethe scenario of horror and psychobilly.

We play mostly in Brasil around our town, but we already played at “PsychoCarnival”, one of the main psychobilly festivals worldwide. we made a Argentinatour in 2019, played about 4 nights around Buenos Aires and one of then was “GoPsycho Fest”, one fo the main psychobilly festival on Argentina.We co-staged with Jayke Orvis, Mickey Classic and Freeborn Brothers and MulletMonster Mafia in Brasil and with our brothers from Argentina Jinetes Fantasmas,Ghost Bastards and Rancho Relaxo.

Psychobilly and Underground Scene have LOT of good bands playing today, like isaid before the bands on argentina, we also have here in Brasil the Spit FireDemons, Mullet Monster Mafia, Voodoo Brothers, Time Bomb Girls, and fromCuritiba we have Sick Sick Sinners, Rabo de Galo...but the scene but the scene isalways renewed and several good bands emerge from the sewer and so theunderground scene and real rock’ n roll never dies
