[Machine Translation] The Aichi Prefecture-based hard rockabilly/R&R trio APACHE CROTALE completes their long-awaited third album, their first release in six years since their 2017 7-inch. With a new drummer, Takashi, formerly of FREAKY STYLE LOCA and other bands, this album features the speedy and poppy side of APACHE CROTALE, based on vocalist & guitarist Slim's hard-hitting vocal style and skillful guitar work, and Mr. Bassman's nimble slap bass. In addition to a number of new songs that combine the speedy and pop aspects that are APACHE CROTALE's forte, the album is rich in variety, including a new recording of the popular "Boogie" from the first album and a cover of THE SPECIALS' "DO Nothing", showing APACHE CROTALE's evolution over the past six years. The album's sound, which is sure to appeal to a wide range of listeners as well as rockabilly and psychobilly fans, shows APACHE CROTALE's evolution over the past six years, and at the same time, gives the impression of further success in the future.

愛知県を拠点に活動するハードロカビリー/R&Rトリオ、APACHE CROTALEの2017年の7インチ以来、実に6年振りのリリースとなる待望の3RDアルバムが完成。新ドラマーに元FREAKY STYLE LOCA他で活躍してきたTakashiを迎えての本作は、ヴォーカル & ギタリスト、Slimの硬派なヴォーカルスタイルと巧みなギターワークにMr Bassmanの軽快なスラップベースを基調にしたAPACHE CROTALEの持ち味でもあるスピーディーかつポップな面を兼ね揃えた新曲の数々に加え、1STアルバム収録の人気曲「Boogie」の新録やTHE SPECIALSの「DO Nothing」のカヴァーを含むバラエティーに富んだ内容となっており、APACHE CROTALEの6年間の進化が伺えるのと同時に今後更なる活躍を感じさせるサウンドはロカビリーやサイコビリーファンはもちろんのこと幅広いリスナー層にアピールできる1枚。
