The year is 2020 and the world domination of rock'n roll is a long way off. But a small guerrilla troupe is sticking to its mission against all odds: "Improving the world through rock'n roll!" Right at the beginning of the current album, THE RAZORBLADES make it clear: "I don't care if this is a hit, if it's en vogue or any other shit, all I want is play some rock'n roll, gimme excitement, la revolution" is the clear message of the trio around mastermind Rob Razorblade: FIGHT THE MAINSTREAM!
So THE RAZORBLADES don't give a damn about the musical zeitgeist on longplayer No.7 either, but instead cheerfully combine their favorite elements of surf, rock'n'roll, punk and power pop to create a brightly colored sound universe. Rob Razorblade's twang guitar has lost none of its sharpness in 18 years of band history with over 700 shows, but now competes with cool lead vocals and noisy fuzz 'n' feedback elements. "Howlin' At The Copycats" is the most varied album in the band's history and shows the different facets of the Wiesbaden resistance fighters on its four vinyl sides:
1. the SING ALONG SIDE sings about the feeling of being different from the rest of the world, everyday life "on the road" and essential rock'n'roll problems such as bad weather - The Clash, The Cure and Madrugada send their regards.
2. on the ELECTRIC SIDE, twang melodies, handclaps, organ sounds, Moog basses and sixties grooves magnetically draw your feet to the dance floor.
3. the SURFY SIDE delivers surf twang at its best - Dick Dale's spirit hovers over the Californian beach.
4. only those who haven't heard CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT SIDE may still claim that green day pop punk, wave melancholy, Motown grooves and surf guitar don't go together.
In 2024, the mission is still to push forward. And so the Razorblades rock'n'roll circus is going on tour and ensuring a good mood throughout Germany and the surrounding countries: THE ROCK'N'ROLL GUERILLA IS BACK!
