Thomas Gun - The Rotten EP



This is the new EP from legendary musical pyscho Tommy Gun

As many of you may or may not know Tommy has played in and still plays in many new and upcoming bands that you should all check out, these include: Nuke And The Living Dead and The Hubies(review and interview coming soon!) among countless others.

This is a solo/acoustic EP and is a brilliant introduction into this guitar-weilding madmans world, psychobilly songs with a slight country feel and a fresh original sound to them.

'The Rotten EP' starts with a song about all things horrific!! and what is more horrible than horror movie re-makes! 'Stiff As A Board' is an enjoyable, sing-along tune that would sound just as good with a full band behind it. But i think the acoustic treatment gives it an extra level of eerieness.

The next song, 'Motor Psycho' is my personal fave, i love it from the first riff to the last! Brilliant clever lyrics and easy on the ear. Then comes 'Family Business', in my opinion this is the weakest song on the EP but this does not mean its a bad song, not at all. Then the last track 'ZTP' which i have since found out stands for 'Zeke The Plumber', this song has a very Doo-wop feel to it with the clapping, woah backing vocals and off course the doo-wop breakdown. Another awesome song and a brilliant song to end on!

If you are bored of the same old pyschobilly/horror-themed music then Tommy Gun is definately for you, and remember keep a look out for that MOTOR PSYCHO!!!!!
