Black Lungs were originally supposed to be on the bill for this show, but main man Wade MacNeil was apparently ill, so they had to pull out. Toronto's Delinquints (so called because there's five of them — ha-ha) were added as their replacement. The group's sound isn't too interesting, but guitarist Beardo Belligerent is quite a talented player....

The Creepshow — Run For Your Life

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 26, 2008 1:31 pm
It's been two years since The Creepshow released their Sell Your Soul debut and a lot has changed for the band since then. Lead singer Jen "Hellcat" Blackwood left to have a baby and was replaced by her sister, Sarah "Sin" Blackwood. Sin's voice is a bit grittier than Hellcat's, but she can still hit the high notes her sister could, and she seems...

BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Horror punk? Hellbilly? Yup, they're real genres and yes, The Creepshow have contributed to compilations like The Zombie Night In Canada. Their debut, Sell Your Soul, suggests why they're in this. Intoxicated showgoers should be wary if asked to sign any "eternally binding" contracts. Grade: 92...

Is it just me, or is the next big rock 'n' roll comeback genre horrorbilly? Over the past few years, a legion of horror-obsessed, hard-partying garage weirdoes have emerged from the tomb to become club darlings, from Horrorpops to Elvis Hitler. The Creepshow are the latest bunch to join the fray. Although this revitalization of ghoulish rockabilly...

The Creepshow Like Honest, Fun Gypsy Punk

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) November 17, 2010 4:20 pm
Punk rock often gets criticized for being too formulaic. This usually involves something to do with it only having three chords, overuse of the word "oi!" or it being snotty. Consequently, that means punk's sub-genres also get caught up in that criticism because they're also based on that same "formula." Psychobilly, for example, gets torn apart...

They say you shouldn't judge anything by its cover, but you can already tell there's something different about The Creepshow's recently released They All Fall Down by simply glancing at its artwork.It features singer/guitarist Sarah "Sin" Blackwood in the middle of a boxing ring, punching out a (much taller) male opponent in a '20s-style, bare-...

The Creepshow's video for the title track to their recently released They All Fall Down is like the horror punk version of Fight Club crossed with Snatch. A bunch of punk dudes square off in an underground bare knuckle boxing ring, thinking they've got it all figured out. But then singer/guitarist Sarah Sin shows up on a motorcycle and schools...

It finds singer/guitarist Sarah Sin, bassist Sick Boy, keyboardist The Reverend McGinty and drummer Pomade continuing where they left off on 2008's Run For Your Life.

The Creepshow have set out to prove they aren't your typical psychobilly band with third album They All Fall Down. While it isn't a total change in direction for them, it does showcase influences they hadn't shown on their 2006 Sell Your Soul debut and 2008's Run For Your Life."Sleep Tight" is a '50s-style, Righteous Brothers and doo wop-inspired...
