Review by Tamara Desiatov

God Save The King: A Psychobilly Joyride You Didn’t Know You Needed Alright, buckle up, folks, because God Save The King by Various is here to slap you awake with its wild mix of rock ‘n’ roll swagger and psychobilly chaos. Released in 2005 on Rockin’ Raven Records (shoutout to the US!), this album feels like a greasy diner breakfast after a long night—messy but oh-so-satisfying. Now, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t your grandma’s Elvis tribute record (though she might dig it). This is psychobilly through and through—twisted covers, raw energy, and enough attitude to make a biker blush. Tracks like “Viva Las Vegas” and “(You’re The) Devil In Disguise” are standouts that stick in your brain like gum under a barstool. Take “Viva Las Vegas,” for example. It’s got that sleazy, stomping vibe that makes you wanna grab a pool cue and start hustlin’. Whoever took on this classic didn’t just cover it—they threw it into a deep fryer and served it up extra crispy. By the time the saxophone kicks in, you’re ready to gamble away your rent money—or at least pretend you’re cool enough to do so. Then there’s “Devil In Disguise.” Oh man, this version? Pure fire. They stripped down the sugary coating of the original and turned it into something darker, grittier, almost menacing. If the devil himself decided to moonlight as a lounge singer, this is what he’d sound like. Every note drips with bad intentions, and honestly? I’m here for it. Other tracks like “Milk Cow Blues” and “Little Sister (Live)” keep the energy cranked high, while deeper cuts such as “Long Black Limousine” add some emotional weight to balance out the party vibes. And hey, who doesn’t love a good live track? “Little Sister” has that loose, sweaty charm that only comes from a band playing their hearts out in front of an amped-up crowd. But wait—what’s this? An untitled track sneakin’ in there? Bold move. Feels like finding a bonus slice of pizza at the bottom of the box. Whether it’s intentional or not, it adds a dash of mystery to an already unpredictable ride. So yeah, God Save The King may not change your life, but it’ll sure as hell make your playlist more interesting. It’s the kind of album that reminds you why music exists—to shake things up, ruffle feathers, and maybe even scare your neighbors a little. Final thought: Listening to this record feels like crashing a wedding where everyone secretly hates each other—but they’re all too polite to admit it. Weird analogy? Maybe. But then again, so is this album. And that’s exactly why it works.
