The Noisy Boys
"Dedicated to overcoming all the restrictive stereotypes of the fifties, The Noisy Boys, formed in the Autumn of 1999 in the Lake Geneva region (Switzerland), strive to pass on the fun and authentic energy of more or less obscure songs taken from the vast songbook of fifties rock 'n' roll and rockabilly. For Laurent, Bob, Alex and Walt this is not a parody nor a caricature. The energy and the pleasure they feel when playing songs of cult heroes like Charlie Feathers, Billy Lee Riley or Jimmy Wages, as well as the worthy exponents of today's rockabilly scene - Eddie & The Flatheads, Phil Trigwell & The Thunderjets, The Sureshots, Wildfire Willie - only make sense to them if shared with an audience. 100% pure affection, efficiency, and total dedication to recreate the spirit of a time when the kids discovered the electrification of music... that's The Noisy Boys. All tracks on this CD were recorded absolutely live, with two vintage valve microphones, valve pre-amps, valve optical processors and a vintage tube tape recorder. Play it loud!! That's what it says in the liner notes, so that's just what to do - play it loud! The first track is titled 'If You Love My Woman' and it's a grand opening. A fast rockabilly bopper with hot guitar licks and loud vocals, sure to rock your socks off. Jimmy Wages' original Sun recording 'Mad Man' is next on the menu, Jimmy is one of my all time favourites, and these noisy guys do a great tribute with this wild rockabilly song. It was about time that someone did a good cover of The Lonesome Drifter's 'Eager Boy', because this song was disappearing into obscurity and it's one heck of a song to remember, both the orginal as well as this hard driving cover. 'Gee Whizz' picks up more speed again after a slow start, and it's rocking hard all the way from then on. Alton Guyon's 'Coffee Baby' is another obscure type of rockabilly, revived pretty damn well. Hold on to your hats cats! Next is Johnny Night's 'Rock'n'Roll Guitar' and this gang even does a better job than The Planet Rockers on 'A Night At The Twist And Shout'. Way to go! Time to slow down and catch your breath with Ronnie Self's 'Three Hearts Later', a slow bopper with a greasy slapping bass. Billy Barton's 'Keep On Lovin' You' picks up speed again and 'Snaggle Tooth Ann' is back, after Darrel Higham (Bob & The Bearcats) and Goin' Ape, now The Noisy Boys revive this old classic. Same goes for Billy Lee Riley's 'Rock With Me baby', an all time favourite of every rockabilly greaser. I really don't have any idea who did the original version of 'Rock Bop' (The Wildcats - Australia - RW), but it sure rocks and bops, like everything else on this album. Great guitar break! What seems to be the last track of the album is The Infernos' 'Local Boy', a big dance hit at the Hemsby Weekender a few years ago, played with great enthusiasm. And then there's a little surprise at the end of it all, there is no mention of a 13th track on the cover, but it's there, a 50 second guitar breakdown to close one fabulous album by this fantastic Swiss rockabilly quartet." mainly by The BlackCat 2001
"12 of the best from Lake Geneva, Switzerland and recorded using authentic valve equipment. Great authentic sound and a good stroller called 'Coffee baby'. Buy it for track 8 ... wow!" Wildcat Pete
Les premiers enregistrements de ce groupe sont une explosion à la figure! C'est du rockabilly puissant et rugueux, au son chaud. Ce premier essai est un chef d'oeuvre des 'rough boys', qui sont ensemble depuis juste un an. Bien que le groupe s'intégre dans la tendance 'authentic', ce CD va attirer une audience beaucoup plus large. N'importe quel amateur de rockabilly sauvage trouvera satisfaction ici. Le premier titre 'If You Love My Woman' en est l'exemple! Ecoutez comment ils ont transformé 'Eager Boy' en un stroller groovy parfait ou le son monstrueux de 'Coffee Baby'. C'est sûr, vous serez convaincus!
Die erste Aufnahmen dieser Gruppe sind eine Explosion in der Gesicht ! Das ist mächtiges und rockabilly, im warmen Ton. Dieser erste Versuchist ein Meisterwerk des 'rough boys', die seit 1999 zusammen sind. Obwohl die Gruppe in der Tendenz 'authentic' sich integriert, wird diese CD eine viel breitere Audienz anziehen. Irgendeiner rohes rockabilly Liebhaber wird Genugtuung hier finden. Der erste Titel 'If You Love My Woman' ist das Beispiel! Hören Sie auch zu, wie sie 'Eager Boy' in einen vollkommenen groovy stroller verwandelt haben oder der ungeheuerlichen Ton von 'Coffee Baby'. Das ist sicher, Sie werden überzeugt sein !
