Here we`ve got the fastest and wildest Krewmen album of them all. It`s not recommended for people using a pacemaker. At this point the Krewmen started to experiment with Rockabilly/Psychobilly untypical chord sequences and it really worked out fine. Another new thing to the psychobilly scene were the song-lengths. "You`ve got it", "Evil Living Dead" and "Shout" all take about six minutes. Although the songs rock until the last second. Mark and Tony (and ofcourse the other two krewmen) at the top of their form. More than a psychobilly classic.

The second straight excellent album from the Krewmen. The unique voice of Mark Cole and McMillan´s guitar and songwriting abilities makes "Sweet Dreams" another true classic of the genre. This album contains absolutely no weak track. Highlights: You´ve Got It, Sweet Dreams, El Toreador, Snake Man and You Lied.

This is the second Krewmen album released in early 1987, and I should say this is still their best. Great dark songs, cool lyrics and talented musicians. All orginals, except "Shout" wich was recorded live (haha, another psychobilly joke). Maybe The Krewmen wasn't very impressive when playing live (however I can't imagine it), but on the record they are Aces. Here they finally developed their own style: psychobilly with original metal guitar sound by Tony McMillan and expressive vocals by Marc 'Mad Dog' Cole.
