If you could mix Creepsville 666, a little Stitch Hopeless, maybe some Devil Doll with the voice of Joan Jett you would get The Creepshow. Sarah Blackwood is an amazing female vocalist and adds a certain artistic flair to this breed of psychobilly/punkabilly sound. It’s not often you run into women who can compete with the agro sounds of some of the hardest psychobilly out there, however when you hear Sarah’s voice you get thrown into the harmonic values her voice holds. Sarah took over lead vocals when her older sister Hellcat became pregnant. Giving new meaning to the term good girl gone bad, Sarah has also performed with “Walk off the Earth” a Canadian Indie band, whose eclectic use of instruments has given them a unique and identifiable sound. You can view any one of their amazing and talented songs on YouTube. The Creepshow has a set of unique lyrics, mirrored after horror films which are written by the band. So here’s the good the bad and the ugly of their latest album? The Good? They hold true to their psychobilly roots, with the amazing sounds of the upright bass, guitar and backup vocals. The Bad? While Sarah is musically amazing and extremely talented, her vocals don’t quite follow through causing you to strain to hear her over the rest of the bad, I would blame it on bad audio production (I’m partial to her vocals myself!) The Ugly? Well, the only ugly were the actors in the video from “They All Fall Down” With a great sound, a beautiful woman to sing you to sleep with dreams of horror and undead eyes you can’t go wrong with The Creepshow.
