ADIOS PANTALONES – PLAYTIME!!

As soon as Adios Pantalones burst onto the scene they stood out. These were young lads playing fast old-fashioned psychobilly that blew yer pants off. After their 2009 demo and split album Clash Of The Primitives – the splendid platter from 2013 with cowpunkabillies The Grave Brothers – they set sail to The Yellow Tape in Ghent for authentic analog recordings. It might have taken ’em almost ten years to come up with their first long-player, but it’s been well worth the wait. Sound- and songwise “Playtime!” is a time warp to the heyday of psycho in the mid-eighties, with bits of hillbilly lunacy thrown in for good measure.
