TR6

The main objective of TR6 is to bring back the Devil's music and show everyone a good time. The style of music this three-piece plays would be categorized as Psychobilly. Just another label I guess you could say. TR6 won't deny the label but it's just easier to call them a real rock'n'roll band. To get their sound, they take 1950's R&B and Rockabilly, then they add some other types of music, like garage, surf, punk, and a bit of heavy metal to create their mutant Rockabilly mayhem.
     Swell Phil is the guitar man and also provides the voice for the three piece. Frank slaps the upright bass and Tom does all the crash, boom, bam behind the drum kit. TR6 knows how to put on a wild performance. Every show they do tops their previous one. TR6 makes sure to leave a lasting impression on an audience. Having played in many street punk, hardcore, and rockabilly bands, all three of these characters are veterans of the NJ/NY underground scene. TR6 has been playing regularly around the NJ/NY area since late 1997. In Octpber of 1998 headache records released TR6's debut ep 'Psychobilly Mayhem'. Shortly after that, they were off to the UK to play the 11th (and last) Big Rumble (one of the biggest psychobilly weekenders in europe). Since then TR6 has been featured on a few compilations (check out Skully Records 'Black Jacket Racket Vol.2'). Their full length debut cd entitled 'Living on Borrowed Time' was released by Spindrift records in 2000.
     TR6, with their diverse influences, frantic sound and wild stage antics brings a new and original sound to the psychobilly genre. excerpted in part from TR6 website - www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Gala/2597/story.htm
 
"This CD ain’t for the faint of heart, but rather for those deviants into sleaze, sex, sin, and psychobilly. Everything about this disc reeks of pure lowdown rock-n-roll bent on destruction and frothing with a rabid fervor. 'Fuck Machine' is a dirty ditty being rode by a female moaning and writhing from its aural pleasure, while 'Surfin' in a Hurricane' sweeps you into a cyclone of sinister guitar licks and upright rage. This recording manages to avoid becoming monotonous by shuffling tempos and trying different sounds. Much of it is their own brand of raw, unrepentant psychobilly, but in addition '19 Sisco Place' has a much more clean rockabilly feel to it, 'Going to the Nudie Bar' borrows Rev. Lord Skoochie from Inspector 7 on sax, and 'Nuthin’ But Time' is a longer instrumental track of some bluesy delectation. All three musicians blaze on this infernal recording, with Frank's bass-slappin' being especially impressive throughout. A couple other notable cuts are 'Bo Diddley on the Planet of the Apes', which is insane and 'I Want My Guns Back', showing their die-hard support of the 2nd Amendment. All in all, this release rocks - perfect for any activity that results in a headache, strange rash, and tetanus shot the next day." Ben Lybarger - Rock'n'roll Purgatory
