THE ROCK-IT DOGS WERE BORN AND BRED SOMETIME IN 2002 IN WORCESTER!. SINCE THEN,AND WITH MANY LINE-UP CHANGES,THE "DOGS" HAVE MOVED BASE TO BRISTOL,WHERE BROUGHTON HACKETT HAS REFORMED THE BAND AND IS READY TO LAUNCH A NEW ASSAULT ON THE UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC!THIS BAND HAS GIGGED EXTENSIVELY,PLAYING WITH MANY GREATS,ALL OVER BRITAIN AND EUROPE!THEIR FIRST ALBUM WAS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AND THEIR SECOND IS ON IT'S WAY!!SO LOOK-OUT!!THE ROCK-IT DOGS ARE BACK AND THEY'RE GUNNA BITE YA HARDER THAN EVER!!
"THIS IS SO REFRESHING: PSYCHOBILLY MUSIC PLAYED HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BY WHOM IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, THAT IS FAST AND SPIRITED BY ANGRY YOUNG MEN. THE SONGS ON THIS 12 TRACKER ARE ALL SELF PENNED BAR ONE AND MORE ABOUT THAT ONE LATER. THE ROCK-IT DOGS ARE THE STANDERD PSYCHOBILLY FORMAT, BUT HAVE ADDED THEIR OWN FEEL TO IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S OFTEN CLICHE RIDDEN AND TRUE TO IT'S ROOTS WHILE ON THE OTHER HAND 'MURDER ON THE STREETS' IS ALL ABOUT BEING YOUNG IN 2006 AND STOMPS ALONG WITH AN URGENT VOCAL AND CHANT ALONG CHORUS THAT SHOULD BE AN ANTHEM BUT THE ONE COVER ON THE ALBUM CEMENTED MY LOVE FOR THIS RELEASE, 'TEENAGER IN LOVE' BOUNCES ABOUT IN SUCH A JOYOUS MANNER IT NEARLY BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE. EXCELLENT STUFF.

WIGSVILLE SPLIFFS - The Wigsville Spliffs are rollin’ into Cambridge for a rare show at the Man on the Moon. Formed back in the late 70’s the band played authentic 50’s style rockabilly and by the mid 80’s they had set the local scene on fire and become regulars at London’s infamous Klubfoot, playing with Restless, Guana Batz and Demented are Go amongst others. Fast forward to 2008, Wigsville Spliffs reform for a show stopping come back at the Bedlam Breakout Psychobilly Festival and follow that with a “jaw dropping” set at the Satanic Stomp festival in Germany in April 2009. With a harder and heavier sound and a new release imminent on the legendary Raucous Records the “spliffs” are back!
