Details
A Swiss rockabilly combo, the Hillbilly Moon Explosion exists in the middle ground between the traditionalism of many rockabilly revival bands and the rougher, spookier sound of psychobilly. Founded by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Emanuela Hutter and bassist/vocalist Oliver Baroni, their music has more than its share of retro twang, with Hutters polished, enigmatic singing blending with the sometimes raucous, sometimes moody guitar lines, and they add dashes of punk, lounge pop, country, and even ska to season their evocative mix. The band staked out their trademark sound on 2002s Introducing the Hillbilly Moon Explosion, they fully hit their creative stride on 2011s Buy Beg or Steal, collaborated with psychobilly veteran Mark Sparky Phillips for 2019s The Sparky Sessions, and showed off their rocking and sultry sides on 2024s Back in Time.
