Their music has a high-energy feel that’s perfect for dancing, and their lyrics often have a fun, tongue-in-cheek vibe that’s reminiscent of the genre’s early days. Bands like Emery Villains, and others like Brian Setzer, Reverend Horton Heat, and Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, are all helping to carry the torch for rockabilly music, while also pushing the genre forward.
