HELLBOUND LIVIN LOVE Classic Hellbound Billy track showcasing the band's romantic side while maintaining their signature edge. A fan favorite that demonstrates Dave Garlow's vocal range and the band's ability to blend traditional rockabilly with modern sensibilities.

Hellbound Livin Love

Hellbound Billy is the brainchild of singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Garlow, who founded the psychobilly trio to channel his passion for authentic 1950s rockabilly with a modern supernatural edge. Featuring the tight rhythm section of Sweezy on upright bass and Roeper on drums, Hellbound Billy delivers raw, uncompromising rockabilly that bridges the gap between classic Americana and underground horror punk.

THE RESURRECTION
After establishing themselves in the rockabilly scene with tracks like "Hellbound Livin Love" and "Dead and Gone" (available on all major platforms), Hellbound Billy went silent. Now, several years later, the band has risen from the grave with their most ambitious project yet: a four-album, 52-song opus that chronicles the complete rockabilly experience.

Their comeback begins with "Hellbound Resurrection," the first EP from their horror-themed debut album "Lucky 13 Nightmares." Tracks like "Hot Rod Hearse," "Zombie Hop," and "Drive-In Massacre" showcase the band's ability to blend B-movie aesthetics with driving rockabilly rhythms, creating what Garlow calls "music for the undead and the unhinged."

THE SOUND

Hellbound Billy's sound is deliberately analog and authentic - no digital tricks, just three musicians creating the same raw energy that made rockabilly dangerous in the first place. Garlow's low tenor vocals can shift to high tenor yelling when the songs demand it, while his guitar work provides the twangy foundation. 

Sweezy's slapping upright bass drives the locomotive rhythm that defines true rockabilly, and 

Roeper's drums keep the whole machine running with precision and power.

THE VISION

The band's upcoming four-album series represents the full spectrum of American rebellion:

"Lucky 13 Nightmares" - Psychobilly horror and supernatural themes

"Atomic 13" - 1950s social commentary and atomic age anxiety

"Thirteen Sins" - The classic sex, drugs, and rock and roll lifestyle

"Thirteen Crowns" - A tribute to rockabilly and psychobilly legends

THE LEGACY

As both performer and copyright owner of the Hellbound Billy brand, Dave Garlow has built something that honors the past while pushing the genre forward. 

With Sweezy and Roeper, he's created a band that sounds like it could have stepped out of a 1950s honky-tonk or a midnight creature feature - and in the world of Hellbound Billy, those might be the same thing.
