To be honest...they are like a breath of fresh air as they incorporate that hardcore feel into the tracks. The likes of King Kurt, The Meteors and Guana Batz will always have a fond place in my heart but nothing stays or sounds the same forever. Accept that and enjoy what the next generation brings. Fuck...I'm getting old and wiser. lol Er…I certainly don’t look down on Tiger Army and I’ve been into British Psychobilly since the early 80’s.

As the site URL says "Lifestyle". Back when I was 22 and greasing my hair back wearing my engineer boots and rolling my smokes in my sleeves you were about what...7 years old? It was about a lifestyle, heavy iron(rods), music, tattoos, a style or way of dressing, and we were called greasers, then it was called rockabilly. It's all about little things like Zippo lighters, Converse hi-tops, and white t-shirts. It's not just about music, granted music IS a huge part of the, now called "scene". Take for instance, Sailor Jerry, That's not music, yet it's a major part of the Rockabilly scene, and it was also a huge part of being a sailor back in the day. It's about a different time and living a lifestyle, it's about the music that was happening at that same time, and the things all around it. The how tiki bar thing is also a part of "The Scene", read the article about that here as well. The person who says it is only about music, someone who "dresses up" to go see a band, as opposed to someone who greases, and had dirt under his nails, and listens to the music on a daily basis, I would call a poser. We may not be as Hard core as your wrecking pit site is, or your heavy iron sites are, but then again we are covering a lot of different topics. I hope that makes a little better sense and maybe you will approve of our web presence. I also wanted to say that you’re wrong that it’s just about music. As the site URL says “Lifestyle”.

I am sure at one time you were a newbie somewhere and looked for guidance/direction from your older, more experienced peers, did you not? I'm also positive you probably danced in front of the mirror, alone until you got it right, after going to a website or dancing lesson to learn how to swing dance or something like that, right? ;) You're on a few car forums and such, helping people out, I am sure you learned some of that from others, did you not? Maybe you might write some car articles for our junior members, or something like that. You might think this site is a joke, but we have a lot of people come here for a lot of different reasons. It's an info site for people to come and learn, sorta like the wrecking pit you belong to. Anyway, thanks for the conversation and corrections, I'll make a note of it and change the article when I get a chance. BTW is that a Por Pie hat you're wearing on xPeeps?

This site in general is a joke. Seriously? How to comb your hair and pout on lipstick and cuff your jeans? Rockabilly and Psychobilly isn't about fashion or hairstyles,it's about music. Music that created a stir,created a whole new scene and survived decades even through the two genre's near demise.

Of course Psychobilly was in the US way before Tiger Army, but they were successful at bringing it more to light than most other bands in the US at the time. I have a clue, we know what we are writing about. Maybe you would like to re-write the article? Can you do better?

Are you guys idiots? Psychobilly had been in the US before Tiger Army even formed with bands like Photon Torpedos,Terror Train,Los Infernos,Calavera,and many more. Tiger Army is the worst band to use for the American Psychobilly movement. They are the reason why many people in the UK look down on US Psychobilly.
