The Scourge of River City has come to an end. We have been lucky enough to play some amazing shows with some amazing

bands and put an album out.

Nothing macabre, we all feel it is the right thing to do.

Thanks to all who helped us along the way.



"Often lumped in with the psychobilly scene, presumably due to their

effective use of

double bass, Norwich -based four-piece The Scourge

of River City actually peddle a muscular blend of HOT SNAKES snarl and

MURDER CITY DEVILS melody, topped with the taut, DANZIG -

indebted vocals of lead shouter Greg Gittins.



The more upbeat tracks on this self-titled debut mostly resemble early

OFFSPRING - all

polished choruses and soaring backing vocals - but the

jangly Lonesome Tide and almost introspective Heart's Horizon show the

band's versatility, both as a tight and inventive group of musicians and as

strong songwriters. So, not psychobilly then, just damn fine anthemic

punk 'n' roll."

CLASSIC ROCK
