Sell Your Soul by Creepshow
Creepshow
The Creepshow band hail from Burlington Ontario and were formed in 2005. Their music fuses a fondness for classic horror flicks with a punk-flavored take on high-octane rockabilly which has earned them the title Canada’s reigning monarchs of psychobilly. The Creepshow is known for their fast-paced songs filled with lots of backup vocals and sing-alongs in which the whole crowd can participate, which makes for a great live show.
The band has seen a few changes in members over the years, but they have maintained a loyal fan following extending from Europe to the United States.
Sell Your Soul was Creepshow’s first album released in 2006 by Stereo Dynamite, Produced by The Creepshow and Steve Rizun, and distributed by EMI Music Canada.
At that time, the band line up consisted of:
Sean “Sickboy” McNab – Upright Bass / Backup Vocals
Jen “Hellcat” Blackwood – Guitar / Lead Vocals
Paul “The Reverend” McGinty – Keys / Backup Vocals
Matt “Pomade” Gee – drums
Other Contributors on the first Album Save Your Soul were:
Steve Rizun – Recording, Mixing and Mastering.
Orchard Studios – Drum and Bass Recording.

Zombies Ate Her Brains
Our particular favorite track here at Zombie Pit is “Zombies Ate Her Brains”. Then again, we may be biased. If you want to sing along to the video above, here are the lyrics:
I’d to tell a little story
About a girl from far away
You might feel bad, you might feel sorry
About what happened, so they say
Well once upon a time there was a sweetheart
A pretty girl with lips of red
She took a walk down by the graveyard
And out of nowhere something
Grabbed her head!
I heard that zombies ate her brain
(zombies ate her brain, zombies ate her brain)
That’s how she turned out this way!
Sometimes you’ll see her walking downtown
Not many notice the undead
Can’t ask the girl a simple question
Because she’ll never ever understand!
Because those zombies ate her brain
(zombies ate her brain, zombies ate her brain)
That’s how she turned out…
That’s how she turned out…
That’s how she turned out this way!
Sell Your Soul Verdict
Sell your Soul is fast, frantic and full of fun. Creepshow are a bunch of very talented musicians and the lead singer Jen Blackwood has an outstanding voice. With this great selection of songs we think Creepshow will have those zombies rockin’ in the aisles. Long may the Monarchs of psychobilly rule!
