The Detonators "R'n'R Keeps Me Alive" My Heart Records MHR 001
Release date: December 11, 2011
Running time: 16:18, 6 tracks
“R’n’R Keeps Me Alive” is the second recording released by the Serbian band The Detonators. The band from Novi Sad has been playing around Serbia and Europe since 2010 and they released their 16 track debut album titled “Nuthin’ to Lose” in Spring 2011. The “R’n’R Keeps Me Alive” EP was issued at the end of 2011 and recorded by the current line-up: Schmuck (vocals, guitar), Peter (accordion), Yanbo (bass , background vocals), Boris (drums, background vocals) and Mix (mandolin).
The Detonators have been described as Rockabilly with Irish Folk and Psychobilly influences. I find some “folkabilly” similarities with the likes of Jamie Clarke’s Perfect (for instance, on track no. 2 “Down & Out”) and punk with a folk twist similarities with the likes of The Buccaneers or The Porters (just listen to the opening track “Next to You”). The accordion on “Lost in Paradise” is also an evidence that The Detonators love The Pogues too, but maybe the biggest influence of the band is Social Distortion.
The band is really tight and their sound based on accordion and mandolin is really accomplished. Some people could say that they are not really original, but this is not totally true. These Serbian guys have worked hard on their own sound and this EP is definitely a strong release if you like punk with folkie instruments. Enjoy!
Tracklist:
1. Next To You 2:03
2. Down And Out 2:47
3. Pictures From The Other Side 3:43
4. Ain't My Day 2:04
5. Lost In Paradise 2:47

Hi Steven.I know that they have releaesd the album, but their label has not forwarded a promo copy yet. There is a plethora of albums to be reviewed (Delilah's Revenge, The Royal Spuds, Irish Moutarde, The Dead Rabbits, Jasper Coal, Benjaming's Band, The Stubby Shillelaghs) and some singles/demos (Stöj Snak, The Scarlet). I'll contact them later. Thanks for the feed-back!
