Reformed in July 2005, when Johnny Rocket and Lieutenant Green decided to regain their youth by recruiting some young fine musicians to complete the line-up. Playing rock'n'roll and rockabilly across Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, these boys will rock your soul!

REVIEW FROM RAUCOUS RECORDS, JULY 2008- Hard hitting Rockabilly with a healthy dose of Blues Bop. MojoKings debut album boasts plenty of potential dance-floor fillers, lots of great original material, and some outstanding guitar work which lifts the band head and shoulders above the standard Blues-A-Billy Bop.
REVIEW FROM FRENCH MAGAZINE "KUSTOM GARAGE", JULY2008-I got the devil in me . So what ? I also got the devil in me , the brunette on the cover probably got the devil in her. So What ? So...the devil gave them the fuckin power to storm every bar they play in . 13 tracks to make you joining the cause. This CD it's the foot (it's a french expression to mean it's the dog's bollox!) , it's the foot like the pretty one of the pin up in a fishnet stockins on the back cover!!-Mr Ducktail
