"Deadbolt's music combines surf rock, goth, psychobilly and blues sound with unusual and offbeat lyrics, a style the band dubbed "voodoobilly."" -from Wikipedia.

&feature=share&list=PL920DAC84DFEAA8D4

The band has produced such memorable (essential driving music) classics as:
Roadside Cross
Swahili Bob
I should have killed you
The day I got spine back
Burn, Lil' Debby, Burn
It's a Creepy World
Hell Dorado
Creepy and Weird
Tijuana hit-squad
Dad Why Did My Friends Explode?
