RamTatTa - GREEN MOON SPARKS – REBEL WITH A CURSE

With GREEN MOON SPARKS, there is an Italian band on “Rebel with a Curse” that performs with great ambition. I would categorize their style as “Psychobilly with a lot going on.” The band plays rocking Psychobilly, with a touch of Neorockabilly, where a variety of musical styles make the individual songs sound very diverse. The first two songs on the CD are modern Psychobilly, followed by a country, almost hillbilly-like piece. The subsequent songs are more in a rocking, punk-rock, and country style. However, the double bass can always be heard, which ultimately brings the songs back into the realm of Billy music.
Overall, the band has many good approaches, and the songs are certainly enjoyable. Nevertheless, I can’t feel more than sympathy for the band. I can't even pinpoint exactly why that is. The ingredients are solid. Perhaps it’s the vocals that might be a bit too aggressive and thus sound somewhat forced. Maybe it’s the rocking style. Or perhaps it’s simply the production. I can imagine many songs from the album being quite a hit live. On CD, they catch my attention, but they don’t really move me. It’s a shame, because what the four guys from Padova in Northern Italy deliver is by no means bad. So don’t be fooled by the slightly psychedelic cover, and give it a listen. GREEN MOON SPARKS definitely have potential.
