the guitar and kicks the drum in the unexplored territories of rockabilly-country-hardcore
with sex-oriented lyrics.
With his ultra-light and castors-mounted
hardware, he is an extremely mobile musical
performer who comes and plays
at your place whenever you want.

Sheriff Perkins & His Hatchet Men back when the Sheriff played in kind of a band, circa 2004
|
PRESS
Since Hasil Adkins, a great tradition of One-Man-Band has spread out, with notably Bloodshot Bill, Rev. Beatman and Petit Voodoo.
Sheriff Perkins makes no exception, yet he's more into Garage-Psycho. And that works perfectly, particularly on the terrific Nookie (to be discovered on the Sheriff's MySpace page).
Deep and cold vocals, a good binary rythm, an extremely fuzzy guitar and 4 hormons-and-sweat-saturated compositions. This EP bears no superfluity and no cheating : the naked truth, nothing but the truth, I swear to you. Sheriff Perkins brings us back at the very roots of a primitive, wild and chainsaw-chiselled rock'n'roll.
A 45 rpm bomb of overdriven speed by a savagely fucked-up parisian! The wild 50's & 60's is fully applicated to the vocals, the guitar and the drums, like Hazil Adkins and the Sonics were fighting each others with Carl Perkins and the Cramps as referees. What surprises most about that one-man-band is the fact that the melting-pot worrks at every level, the sound is perfect with controlled extremism (although, that kind of processing is never won yet !), the compositions sound like old-time standards and the Sheriff's haunted vocals will attract the Johnny Cash lovers as well as the Lux Interior fans.
Dig It #39
Sheriff Perkins is a genuinely rock'n'roll one-man-band, a recently growing trend after years of more blues-oriented one-man-bands. Rock'n'roll is filthy, dirty and muddy here, like the man had to travel across a god-forgotten swamp before settling his stuff in studio. Overdrive, reverberation and saturation, forget lo-fi, we're talking no-fi here. Sounds like we're in a southern honky-tonk, where the local hot-shot tries to get himself listened to amidst the saturday night traditionnal general fist-fight. And the fucker get himself heard... before going kicking some ass too ?
442e Rue #70
What we first notice in Sheriff Perkins' Website, it's the homogeneity of the project. A one-man-band with effective graphics, a vintage inspiration and leanings towards auto derision and energy. The cover art of "The naked truth with no bra on", 4-track on vinyl, sets the tone. A pretty cowgirl with a generous breast welcomes the psychobilly fan with a broad grin. So that's what it's all about, a blend of garage music and rock from the '50s, perpetually in keeping with the style of the day and never going to die. Here is a passionate one-man-band, happy to propose what he calls an effective and extremely mobile setup; which may talk to you about Motörhead and Reverend Horton Heat but also certainly dirty stories from his lyrics. This law-enforcer is a wonderful discovery, let us give thanks to the Lords for having made Myspace and given Sheriff Perkins the right to be established among us.
