      I've just heard this fantastic new band called The Rip Em Ups yeah? See they're really good. http://youtu.be/fkbxD_UJH6o

      Through them I found the magnificent A-Bones. I also really like the Jim Jones Revue.

      But I'm stuck! All I wanna hear is good old fashioned new rock and roll. Not too over the top. Not too garagey. More 50s style I suppose. Please help. I will return favours using positive feel good comments. Mikebails.

      The No Tomorrow Boys are not really rockabilly if that's what yer after, but they have plenty of "50s style."

      Thanks Alison. Yeah I dunno if I mean rockabilly or just straight up Little Richard style rock and roll really. But I like it cheers! I've not really got anywhere in my quest. Maybe some Nick Curran and the Lowlifes.

      Ha! I was just going to mention Nick Curran.

       

      Well, hell, if you like that, you should check out the Swingin' Neckbreakers...

      I HAVE that EXACT dress that they're wearing.... It IS an empire waist dress. I think the last girl sitting down forgot to pull it over her empire, but Hey she's happy.  Anybody know who the NEXT J-Pan Girl "guitar mama" band is? Shonen Knife, 567s, etc. are kinded dated now (still good, still wonderful).

      I thought Alison's choice was great (they're also local  boys) and WOW! who did their video. I love it.  I seems like you can find a g'zillion psychobilly bands, but harder to find good more purist 50s-style rock, but heres a good 'un... from Mad Jack and the Hatters:

      The Rip 'em Ups are fantastic.   I'm going to see them next weekend in Massachussetts, as a matter of fact.  As far as bands in a similar vein, I can recommend the Delta Bombers, along with many of their labelmates on Wild! Records (Luis & The Wildfires, Don Juan y los Blancos, et al).

      I've been enjoying The Night Beats' new album Sonic Bloom lately. They're somewhere between Thee Oh Sees and The Black Angels
