The Meteors

UK psychobilly band

The Meteors, originators of the psychobilly sound, have defined and expanded this unique genre since their formation in the United Kingdom in 1980. With their driving blend of rockabilly rhythms and punk ferocity, they’ve consistently delivered high-energy performances and a prolific catalogue, standing as a pillar of the British alternative music scene. Their influence is unmistakable among fans of psychobilly, and their recent album release, 40 Days a Rotting from April 2024, underscores the band’s enduring creativity.

The Meteors continue to command the stage, recently headlining at The Ferret in a bill that also featured Zombina & The Skeletones and Pike. Their electrifying live sets remain central to their identity and legacy. The band’s extensive discography includes landmark albums such as The Power of 3, Doing The Lord’s Work, and the classic Psychobilly, showcasing a dedication to innovation within their genre. Iconic tracks like "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky," "'K' Is for Chaos," and "40 Days a Rotting" have become staples for both devoted followers and newcomers to their unmistakable sound.
