The Meteors

About The Meteors

Combining a revved-up variant on the classic rockabilly sound with a tongue-in-cheek obsession with horror movies and cartoonish violence, the Meteors were the U.K.'s leading psychobilly outfit. The Meteors were the brainchild of guitarist and vocalist Paul Fenech, who first made a name for himself in the late '70s as a member of the British rockabilly group the Southern Boys. The band remained a popular attraction in the United Kingdom and Europe, touring frequently and releasing recordings at a steady pace throughout the '80s and '90s, though it gained only a cult following in the United States. ~ Mark Deming
