The Meteors

The Meteors are often credited with giving the psychobilly subgenre – which fuses punk with rockabilly – its distinctive sound and style.

Formed in South London in 1980, they are considered the first verifiable psychobilly band with their blend of the “themes of horror, punk and rockabilly”.

Their albums In Heaven (1981) and Wreckin’ Crew (1983) are considered landmarks of the early years of the genre.
