The Tremors
"After playing together for just two years, The Tremors debut CD, 'The Scourge of the South', is a sign of good things to come for this Greensboro trio. Founded in the roots of rock'n'roll, The Tremors serve up a healthy serving of rockabilly. Music this good shows that the Gate City does have a musical soul. That is, if you look for it. From the opening track, '100 Proof Blues Boogie', to the final 'Tremors Bop', The Tremors get revved up and never slow down. Guitarist Jimmy Tremor (formerly of the Greensboro-based Ubangi Stomp), bassist Slim Perkins and drummer Stretch Armstrong show off their musical chops by getting back down to the nitty gritty of rockabilly. Sure, the lyrics won't win any Pulitzer Prizes. But hey, they don't need to. The music is about having fun, and The Tremors pull it off with ease. While most songs are originals, there are a few covers thrown into the mix including, 'It'll Be Me' and 'Who Took My Baby?' With solid, entertaining music like this, The Tremors are sure to kick some life into the Triad's music scene."
".... While lesser men have wasted away trying to answer that very question, The Tremors' dedication to the musical roots of rock and roll comes through in every whipsaw atomic blast, but no more than on the thirteen ass-kicking and name-taking tracks that make up The Scourge of the South. More than just a baker's dozen of unlucky songs of bass-slapping, echo-dripping, unruly rockabilly bop by Greensboro's Dixie-fried deviants - The Scourge of the South is no shady politician or Mexican drinking water, but a testament to the bastard love-child of blues and country that is rockabilly. Raw and wild tracks like '100 Proof Blues Boogie', 'My Kitten Is Up a Tree' and 'Pill Popper' are rockabilly as pure, authentic and strong as Tennessee Sour Mash - while songs like Jack Clement's 'It'll Be Me' and Warren Smith's 'Who Took My Baby' serve as a sinful homage to some of the finest and most legendary songwriters of the 1950s (material that often works its way into their tremendous live shows). Scourge's last chapter, the self-referential slingblade, 'Tremors Bop' will have your toes tapping and your mouth laughing — even if you don’t get all the inside jokes. Rockabilly has a universal appeal and The Tremors know it - mainly because they've been hooked on it ever since hearing their first Sun Record. Making up this unholy trinity are Slim Perkins, 'The Sultan of the Slap Bass'; Stretch Armstrong, 'Pagan Skins Extraordinaire'; and Jimmy Tremor, a 'Howlin' Six-String Fiend'. With influences ranging from '70s punk to glam to virtually anything with a Sun label on it, The Tremors have one of the most original sounds in the Triad, due largely to the fact that rockabilly is still as pure as it was in its early days. 'We're not trying to do anything too new here', admits lead cat Jimmy Tremor, 'We’re writing our own songs but we also don't want to see rockabilly kept in the past or frozen in time.'." ESP Magazine
