Big change is that the early psycho bands like, the RICOCHETS, BATMOBILE and RESTLESS are now called neo Rockabilly or old school Psychobilly and we don't know were that puts us ?That's why we call our music maximum rockabilly (hell it's all rock and roll anyway)

Beavershot plays revved up guitar crazy, maximum rockabilly taken to extreme and anything in between. If you like the Reverend HORTON HEAT, Brian SETZER, BATMOBILE and other bands like that then maybe you'll like beavershot to?But listen to the album and make up your own mind.

11) About the cover of your LP: If you had to choose between the Car or the Girl, which one shall you take?

The car because even after you ride it a hundred times it's still great (most girls get boring after a few rides) and a car is also a lot cheaper.
