But he took the next step and recorded immortal classics like Brand New Cadilac and later Jet Black Machine.Vince Taylor’s myth is based on his wild, ecstatic live performances, which in those late fifties days must have eclipsed anything seen or heard up to that time ...

The whole world was Twisting during the early 1960s. It was the dance craze to end all dance crazes, bands around the globe jumping on the bandwagon to add their own variations to the theme. We ended up with a massive repository of Twist recordings, two dozen of them comprising ‘On The Dance Floor With a Twist.’ Naturally, the man who started it all, Hank Ballard, is aboard, though not with the anthem that you might expect. Jerry Lee Lewis tearing through I’ve Been Twistin’ ...

HISSING is an extreme metal group based out of Seattle, WA.
