Fletch Cadillac - S/T EP



Fletch Cadillac are a Horrorpunk/Rock 'n Roll 4-piece from the UK, there sound has a very punky edge but incorporates the fun of psychobilly. This S/T Ep is their debut release and is such a strong debut.

First Song 'Headstones' is a perfect opener and really sets the listener up for the next three tracks, fun and strong guitar lines, driving bass and drums and the brilliant use of gang backing vocals.

'Time To Die' is the next song and it starts with the engine of a hot rod starting up and then kicks in the trademark catchy riffs and driving punky sound. The vocals on this track are very original and in my opinion this will definately be a fan favourite.

Next, 'Strangers Follow', this is maybe my favourite track, i love the intro riff and i find the drums reminiscent of psychobilly and maybe slightly ska influenced. I love the lyrics in this song too, covering everything a horrorpunk needs including the underworld .

And finally we get to 'Boogeyman Said', this is tied for my favourite track, its most definately the most fun track on the EP, pure horrorpunk from start to finish. Gang backing vocals and plenty of 'woahs' make this song a sure live favourite, but it works just as well if not better on CD.

Also included on this EP is the video for 'Time To Die', which tells the tale of the band kidnapping a young lady to feed to their undead fans! Goresome!!
The production of this Ep is near immaculate and really shows the cadillac boys talents. If your a fan of Calabrese or Blitzkid among others, you will love Fletch Cadillac

'Music to ride a hot rod to hell to'
