The Matadors' Sweet Revenge doesn't feel particularly inspired. Every track is about getting shit-faced or dying, but that's probably what you'd expect from a frontman named Hooch who claims he's dead. Still, the self-proclaimed horrorbilly creators will have you wanting to dance with standouts like "The Devil Taught Me How." And we're...

The Matadors — Horrorbilly 9000

in
By Steve English (CHARTattack) May 16, 2006 4:01 pm
With nary a drum snap, guitar lick or heavily-pomaded hair out of place, The Matadors prove that while psychobilly is hardly the most inventive of genres, it's still a helluva lot of fun. On Horrorbilly 9000, these London, Ontario bar circuit vets display a flair for re-electrifying old trends. There's little here that Reverend Horton Heat hasn't...

The Matadors — The Devil's Music

in
By Dan "The Mouth" Lovranski (CHARTattack) December 14, 2004 2:48 pm
These psychobilly madmen have been tearing up Southern Ontario clubs for the past couple of years with an out-of-control rock 'n' roll wildfire. The band takes the same basic concept to songwriting that has worked since the days of The King, but these guys turn it up to amp shattering levels with songs about lust, evil, death, black magic and...

This was mostly a silly, borderline useless psychobilly record until track 10, "Bush Party Handjob." When you're from a small town it's entirely true... getting a hand job at a bush party is pretty much the most important thing in your life.

The Matadors Like Their Booze And 'Billy

If you haven't seen The Matadors and their devilishly infectious and bourbon-soaked live show that combines sordid songs about zombie sluts with vicious doghouse bass, what in tarnation are you waiting for? The group have been blazing a trail in Canada's horrorbilly scene for 10 years and, with their new Horrorbilly 9000 album and current hectic...
