Choppertown: From the Vault Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Άλμπουμ · Rock · 2006
Fans of Choppertown: The Sinners Original Motion Picture Soundtrack who pined for more music and less dialogue need look no further than this companion soundtrack From The Vault. Southern California psychobilly band the Whitewalls open with “Conquistador” and bring out some twangy surf guitars before detonating with an explosive, driving tune with a touch of the Misfits. They roll further into early-‘80s-influenced horror-rock territory on “Misery” before the harder-hitting “Tracks to My Tears” throws old-school punk back into the blender. The Heathens similarly make good use of those testosterone-pumped backing vocals with ‘50s-inspired greaser lyrics. The Harbortown Saints from Long Beach successfully braid bygone skate-punk with rootsy rockabilly to sound like the sons of the Cramps (especially on the infectious “Six Hours” and their namesake tune “Harbortown”). Of course the toughest tunes here belong to the Highway Murderers whose “Let’s Get Murdered” is as enjoyable as it is intimidating.
