students, swing dance enthusiasts, or

Hell’s Angles, you can bet The Tremors

will have the crowd jumping with their

brand of high-octane rockabilly as pure,

authentic and strong as Tennessee sour

mash.

Through passionate research and

exploration into rock'n'roll history, the

band has created their own unique blend

of style by combining classic Sun

Records era rockabilly with the reckless

abandon of late 70’s punk rock.

Rockabilly music has a universal

appeal. It's the music of Elvis Presley,

Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie

Feathers and countless others who plied

their trade in the neon-soaked, late-night

dives and juke-joints across the new

south when pharohs ruled from

Memphis like in days of old. Its effect on

popular music can still be heard to this

day. No living soul can resist its appeal.

Invading Europe from North

Carolina (USA) with their own

kind of original stomping

rockabilly sounds, here are

Jimmy, Slim & Stretch. The

Tremors are something out your

mamas worst nightmare, mixing

the pill poppin' style of Carl

Perkins and the sex appeal of

Elvis these boys will charm you

with a little dixie fried rock 'n' roll

and send you straight to Mars

with its original alien rock: "The

Scourge of the South."

Their dedication to the

musical roots of rock 'n' roll

comes through in every whipsaw

atomic blast. Through passionate

research and exploration into

rock 'n' roll history, the band has

assembled the finest and most

legendary songs of the 50s.

Throw in some of their own

rockin' original material and

you've got rockabilly as pure,

authentic and strong as

Tennessee sour mash. I guess

you have to be a US Southerner

to know what Tennessee Sour

Mash is, but I think I got the

message here.

Starting off with a hard

pounding, fast paced rockabilly

bopper titled "100 Proof Blues

Boogie", you'll know immediatly

that these guys mean business.

Rockabilly business that is, fast

and loud. Actually, what caught

my attention first was the cover

of this new album "The Scourge

Of The South", 'cause it looks

like 50s horror comic book, not to

mention the looks of the

bandmembers themselves on the

inlay picture... Guitarist Jimmy

looks as if he just had his fingers

in a 220 volt socket, chubby Slim

(how about that contradiction)

appears to have escaped from a

ZZ Top fanclub night, and Stretch

tries hard to tear up yet another

one of his skins. Superb design,

great pictures, and a magnificent

re-design of the Sun Records

label. Very well done!

Only 2 cover songs on this

album, Jerry Lee's "It'll Be Me"

and Warren Smith's "Who Took

My Baby", both these original

Sun tracks got the Tremors

treatment, just as they did to the

Sun label. The Tremors' self-

penned tracks vary from

authentic 50s rockabilly ("My

Kitten is Up a Tree"), to hard

knocking neo-rockabilly with

scorchy lead guitar breaks ("Pill

Popper"), and a little of

everything else in between. Not

for the faint-hearted rockabilly

fan, but great rockin' music, with

a touch of horror, all the way.

THE TREMORS - "THE SCOURGE OF THE SOUTH" BRAIN DRAIN RECORDS ���� OF 5 STARS

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.

Meet The Tremors at

their Chicken Pickin' Rock

'n' Roll Revue and CD-

release party 8 p.m.,

Saturday at Ziggy's.

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. You can see

why Saturday night at their

CD release party — a

seven-band lineup Perkins

put together that he calls

Chicken Pickin' Rock 'n'

Roll Revue at Ziggy's.

Free chicken. Good

music. You can't beat that.

TRADITIONALROD &KULTUREILLUSTRATEDThe Tremors

"Invasion of

the Saucermen"

(Full Length CD) 2006

Brain Drain Records

"Note: red lens should be worn over left eye" that's a quote

from the liner notes of the Tremors latest release "Invasion of

the Saucermen" and for good reason too; the CD comes with 3-

D glasses. The artwork all over the fold out and the CD itself are

all retro looking 3-D "tremorvision" with rockets, spacemen"

planets and all. Very cool to look at and the fun doesn't stop

there... the record is good to listen to as well. Fourteen tracks of

true rockabilly from another planet is what this three piece from

North Carolina deliver; from the first guitar riff through the last

crescendo the record covers it all. The instumental "World War

III Boogie" has a fast paced and all too familiar guitar riff that the

drums and bass have to run fast to keep up with. Then on to the

title track of the record with it's campy B-movie style horror

intro that leads right into their trademark high-octane rockabilly.

The slap bass is upfront and oustanding through out the tune

and the guitar keeps pace right with. i'm not to sure what the

song "Atomic Jesus" is about and it's kinda hard to catch all the

lyrics (plus there's no lyric sheet with the record) and I'm quite

frankly sure if I like the song either but I still wanna listen to it

over and over. I am however a big fan of the song "Jungle

Fever" it's got a cool drum beat intro with a subtle bass line

complimenting it, and the vocal and guitar kick in to make it all

complete. I also dig the tune "The State Patrol" with its cool

stop and go verse about a state policeman with "an itchy trigger

finger" and the troubles had from being pulled over by him. The

swamp boogie song is compliments of "Late Night Drive-in

Monster Show" this is modern rockabilly at it's best; the bass is

great, the backing vocals are spot on (with the monster growl).

The simple and minimaslist guitar on "Devil's Eyes" really lets

the drum and bass shine on this one, not to take away from the

guitar at all, it's just a well written no fluff song. It's got a Big

Blue (Lee Rockers old band) sound to it kinda bluesy and

definitely danceable. My favorite track on the record by far

would have to be "Workin" Overtime" a funny story about a

guys "Gal" that keeps him in the red and he needs to work

overtime to keep with her and her needs. I'm thinking that the

"gal" is more than likely a "gal-axie" or some other form of

automobile.

Over all the Tremors are a great example of modern rockabilly

with a huge retro/roots rock'n'roll influence, they probably grew

up listening to the likes of Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dickey

Lee & the Collegiates, and the whole Sun Records line up from

back in the day. If your looking for a rockabilly band that doesn't

stretch outside of the roots style and get too deep into zombies,

blood and whiskey like a lot of the new psychobilly groups, give

the Tremors a shot they deserve it! www.tremorsrockabilly.com

ROCKABILLY BABE.COMThe Tremors

Invasion of the Saucermen

Something fell out of the sky today and it wasn’t part of

a dilapidated space station. It wasn’t some object from a

rickety old plane. It was truly a UFO. That is what I

thought until I ripped it open. There I was holding an

object with hints of the past, yet laden with futuristic

visions. Yep, it was the new Tremors CD, Invasion of the

Saucermen. The Tremors have stepped up to the

microphone and taken their upbeat, grownup punkabilly

mixed with retro-horror rockabilly to a new level.

Saucermen kicks off with World War III Boogie. In

traditional Tremors style, Slim, Jimmy and Stretch

reintroduce themselves to the masses with this hopped-

up instrumental. The self-entitled track invades the

airwaves next. Invasion of the Saucermen is a doghouse

driven, fear for you life, ass-kicking testament to the little

men in the sky. Somatose makes it’s way through the

cosmos knocking you out of your chair. This drug-laden

ditty pays tribute to all the things, legal and illegal, that

make us all feel good and giddy about life. This is just

one of many songs that really make this CD a must-have!

Let me introduce you to the infamous Tremors. Slim

Perkins is one of the Southeast’s most notorious and

notable doghouse destroyers. Stretch Armstrong stands

tall and strong as one of the best drummers on the circuit.

Rounding off this cult of personalities is the mastermind

of this futuristic, 1950’s crowd-eating band, Jimmy

Tremor. Jimmy’s unmistakable, frantic voice and manic

style make this band a powerhouse of subhuman

proportions. Catch them live and you’ll know what I

mean. Slim takes control of the situation with, Atomic

Jesus. This double-time anthem plays tribute to a nuclear

savior destroying and saving lives at the same time. Slim

does an excellent job for his debut behind the mike and

the boys pile in for the joyride. (I Ain’t No) Two Timin’ Man

spins by as very upbeat explanation of the touring

lifestyle and the devotion to keeping the little man in your

pants when you have a little Bettie at home. “We keep

blasting out

our crazy rockin’ songs, I’m having fun but just can’t wait

to bring myself back home,” Jimmy clarifies. This is one

of the standout tunes on this saucer. This gang of

degenerates brings it down a notch with the rockabilly

ditty, Treat Me Right. Treat Me Right captures the rhythm

and stylin’ that the Tremors bring to the scene and the

superb songmanship that goes on at their planet.

Shaken’ From Seizures is one of my faves as Jimmy and

the boys get into the groove of the music and gives you

the album’s toe-tapping icing on the cake. I’m not going to

ruin the rest of this CD for you. I will say that it is a rare

occasion that a band can top their debut CD. But the

Tremors pull it off, keeping it real and in that same

loveable Tremor’s fashion, all the way down to the 3-D

artwork on the album.

Somewhere, Hank, Elvis and Joey are all standing

around nodding to the rocking sounds of Tremors.

BLUE SUEDE NEWSSUMMER 2005North Carolina's hard rockin' trio the Tremors

deliver earth shakin' Rockabilly on their latest mini-

CD. The cool thing is vinyl lovers can snatch up an

explosive (looking) 4-song EP made out of glow in

the dark vinyl! That's a limited pressing of 500. The

CD also glows and boasts two bonus tracks, the

fuzz guitar Cramps style original "Pill Popper" with

wild screams ans Carl Perkins' "Her Love Rubbed

Off" in a Neo-Billy version. Both vinyl and CD

contain Warren Smith's "Uranium Rock" in a fast

version and Mack Vickery's entergetic "Drive-In".

Their own "Lovin' on My Mind" and "Make with the

Shake" are fun, high energy rockers. Mix the

coolest SUN Rockabilly with the Cramps early

Rockabilly covers and you'll come up with a style

that the Tremors have down. -GMB

ROCKABILLY MONTHLYJUNE 2005Tremors "Uranium Rock" (Slave)

By D.C. Larson (Rockabilly Monthly)

Profiled in Rockabilly Monthly in January, North

Carolina's bone-rattling Tremors are back with an

incendiary 6-song CD that is also available as a cool

glow-in-the-dark green 45 with picture sleeve.

Split half/half between choice covers and must-hear originals, this disc is a

fine complement to their earlier "Scourge of the South" CD. Jimmy Tremor

(guitar/vocals) Slim Perkins (stand up) and Stretch Armstrong (drums)

collaborated in penning addictive boppers "Lovin' on My Mind" and "Make with

the Shake". As is to be expected from the Tremors, loose-jointed rockabilly is

heavily laced with toxic slam-bang punk fever, and let sparks fly where they

may. The frantic "Pill Popper" first appeared on “Scourge” and is a worthy

addition.

Well-picked and somewhat obscure covers include the title song (Sun's Warren

Smith), "Drive-In" by Mack Vickery and Carl Perkins' winking “Her Love

Rubbed Off.” That this CD contains only six songs may have kept it from

"Editor's Wallet" distinction, but then 6 are enough to hold us until the next full-

length Tremors release. Soon, guys.

BLACK CAT ROCKABILLYwww.rockabilly.nl/ reviews/uraniumrock.htm

The Scourge of the South is back with a vengence. With another great

design in black & white on Slave Audio Documents. If you haven't heard

of the Tremors before, you must read their bio and review of their

previous CD release first...

This new mini-album is something special, apart from the fabulous

cover design and the superb tremulous music, it's released on CD as

well as vinyl. The EP contains 4 tracks and is pressed on mint green

"glow in the dark" vinyl. Looks sharp! The inside is a large folded

collage of band pictures, very well done.

The mini-CD contains 2 bonus tracks. One is an alternate of the

smash hit from their prevoius album "Pill Popper", the second a

version of Carl Perkins' "Her Love Rubbed Off". It all starts with the title

song, Warren Smith's "Uranium Rock", brought to you Horror Bop

Tremors style. This always was a great song, and this new revived

version... well you just gotta rock!

"Make with the Shake" and "Lovin' on My Mind" are both Tremors

originals, written by Tremor, Perkins & Armstrong. Two great fast paced

rockabilly songs with superb slapping by Slim Perkins (don't you just

love this guy). Jimmy Tremor's slightly distorted guitar makes the

unique Tremor sound that'll make you're skin crawl.

Last but certainly not least is a very fast rendition of Mack Vickery's

"Drive-In" that'll knock you off your feet. As with the "Scourge of the

South" album, not for the faint-hearted rockabilly fan, but damn good

rock'n'roll music.

BLUE SUEDE NEWSFALL 2004The Tremors / "The Scourge of the

South" / Brain Drain Records BD-6

Primitive, right in your face punked up

hillbilly - The trio's revved-up Rockabilly

has the determination and attitude of

Psychobilly paired with unpolished

hillbilly charm. The CD certainly sounds

like a genuine home recording. Their

influences span from SUN artists (the only

two non-originals are SUN Records

songs) to Esquerita and Reverend Horton

Heat. Lotsa fun after a few beers, I can

imagine. -GMB

GO TRIAD MAGAZINEThe Tremors

"Invasion of the Saucermen"

(Brain Drain Records)

On their second full-length album,

"Invasion of the Saucermen,"

Greensboro's favorite rockabilly sons

are in their finest form yet, causing more

up-tempo commotion than you might

expect and certainly more than should

be allowed. Nearly every song here is

meant to rattle the rafters in traditional

rockabilly fashion, and what might be lost in variety is made up for

in spades by the primordial goodness of the band's vintage rock

boogie. The Tremors is based in Greensboro, but the band hasn't

limited itself to tearing up the Triad. If the band's consistently

spastic live show doesn't net it the title of best rockabilly outfit

working, then this latest release should seal the deal. The Tremors

has never been bashful about its love of '50s kitsch, and "Invasion

of the Saucermen" finds this in full-effect with extra-terrestrial

artwork in full 3-D (glasses included). It somehow manages to

surpass even the nuclear coolness of the amazing glow-in-the-

dark "Uranium Rock" EP. But although the packaging on this

album is top-notch, it wouldn't be worth much if the tunes didn't

appropriately shimmy and shake. Not to worry; "Saucermen"

brings the rockabilly goods. Jimmy Tremor's strung-out yelp has

the nervous jump of Carl Perkins on his way to rehab, and his lean

guitar attack gives these songs the sparse intensity of your

favorite Sun Records cuts. As for the rhythm section, it's firing on

all eight whiskey-fueled cylinders as Slim Perkins' slap bass goes

toe-to-toe with snare-acrobatics of drummer Stretch Armstrong.

The Tremors are equally at home reworking the familiar Southern

traditional "Crawdad Song" or on one of the 11 originals found

here. "Atomic Jesus," for example, is textbook Tremors: Southern

spirituality meets a radioactive 1950s mentality in a head-on

rockabilly rave-up. In short, "Invasion of the Saucermen" does

double time from start to finish and rarely lets up. The Tremors'

rockabilly express train will keep on a-rollin' in 2007 with

performances Friday at Elvisfest at Local 506 in Chapel Hill. Be

there or be square.

JUMPING FROM 6 TO 6Invasion Of The Saucermen

Brain Drain Records - BD08

How can I resist a band that shares its name with one of

my favourite movie (yes I admit I love “arty” movies

ahahaha), an attractive 3D designed cover with glasses

and songs called “Invasion Of The Saucermen”, “Atomic

Jesus” and “World War III Boogie”? I simply just can’t.

The album opens with an instrumental and then you’re

bound to a journey through this trio’s own brand of

traditional (Idle Hands, Kenny Parchman’s Treat Me Right),

fast (Somatose) and super-fast rockabilly (Atomic Jesus)

with predominant slap bass. “Late Night Drive-In Monster

Show” has a tempo similar to the “Munster Theme” and

could be coined as psychobilly while Two Timin’ Man is

their own vision of a hillbilly tune. Apart of “Treat Me

Right” the other covers are Charlie Feather’s Jungle Fever

(great haunting jungle beat) and the traditional “The

Crawdad Song” which receives the Tremors treatment :

fast, raw and wild. Fourteen songs in thirty minutes

(almost half of the songs are under the two minute mark),

no time to loose and everything is said.
