It was in the summer of 2000 in Coimbra (Portugal), that some friends started playing together for the love of fun and rock ‘n’ roll. As psychobilly/surf band The Speeding Bullets they successfully toured all over the country, but it wasn’t until they celebrated their 20th anniversary that they agreed to take the step to go to a studio with their most popular songs. And lo, finally here’s their debut album Space Rumble, a collection of 12 hits that have stood the test of time, matured and perfected along the way. It’s an exciting mixture of rockabilly, surf rock and garage punk, inspired by sci-fi and b-line movies, part instrumentals and part vocals, which perfectly reflects the live energy and excitement of the dexterous four-piece. It’s never too late for good music.
Space Rumble, recorded by João “Jorri” Silva & Henrique Toscano and mixed by João Santiago, is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Chaputa! Records. Featuring Bruno Malo (double bass, vocals), José Rebola (guitars, darbuka, vocals, sonoplasty), Tiago “Nakata” Coelho (guitars, vocals) and Luís Duarte (drums, percussion, keys, vocals).
