:]

here they are.

4.Don't Give A Toss
5.Guy Fawkes

7.The Adventures of the Krewmen

the band's story goes like this: "Krewmen" formed originally in 1982 by Tony Mc Millan. At that time, the pure sound of the band Rock-a-Billy. From 1982-84 played "Krewmen" lots of gigs around the UK, mostly in small pubs and clubs. Beginning of the year 1985, the band was selected, Elvis Presley's former band in "Elvis, the musical" to play, which is 9 months by USA / Canada, and toured the UK. After returning from Canada had "Krewmen" various offers from labels from the UK, France, Holland, Sweden and the USA. They were about to move to contractually bind itself to "Lost Moment Records", as two members of the band decided to leave the band in order to do other things like car washing and in local pubs.

little info on spellbound (from their website bio): When you look at the Psychobilly movement of the 1980’s, Ireland is not a country that springs to mind as having played much of a part. However, in 1986 the bars and clubs of Dublin were quite literally crawling with demented rockabillies and quiffed-up mutants. There were plenty of live bands for them to follow too (for those, at least, who weren’t making the weekly trek to psychobilly ‘Mecca’ The KLUBFOOT at London’s Hammersmith Clarendon), The Klingonz (who quickly moved to London to save on bus fares!), Sharkbait (who disbanded at their peak when lead singer Dave Finnegan landed a leading role in Alan Parker’s motion picture ‘The Commitments’),there were Punky and ‘Cramp-ish’ bands like The Gorehounds, Kill-Devil Hill and the Boneshakers, while The Kroozers, Those Handsome Devils and The Crazy Wolves stayed closer to a ‘traditional’ 1950’s sound. Spellbound was formed in 1986 by brothers Frankie and Adrian Hayes, who came from Bray, Co Wicklow, 15 miles south of Dublin City. Unlike other Irish bands of their time, Spellbound decided to head directly to mainland Europe, where their 1988 debut album ‘Mystical Madness’ was very well received and notched up many thousands in sales (amazingly, that album was never released in their home country). The boys blazed a brief trail across the rockabilly and psychobilly festivals of Germany and Scandanavia before, it seemed, vanishing back into the ‘Hellfire’ woods of County Wicklow.

get them both.
really good.
more from them if you want, just ask.
