About
The Rocker Covers is a dynamic musical group that originated in 2010, formed by brothers Kris and Scott Milsom, known for their work with The Hawkmen and Coffin Nails. They are joined by drummer Ian ‘Boss’ Bostic. This trio is celebrated for breathing new life into the rockabilly and psychobilly genres by crafting authentic interpretations of modern pop and rock hits. Their albums, including 'Revved Up' and 'New Old Stock', showcase their ability to transform well-known tracks by artists like Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Kings Of Leon into exhilarating, up-tempo rockabilly anthems.
How to Sound Like The Rocker Covers
To capture The Rocker Covers' sound, focus on creating a vibrant and energetic sonic character that blends the classic twang of rockabilly with a modern edge. Their music thrives on crisp, slap-back echo effects and snappy, percussive rhythms that can be achieved with analog delay pedals and vintage-style microphones. The guitar tones are bright and cutting, often employing hollow-body guitars and tube amps to deliver that quintessential rockabilly bite. The bass lines are punchy and rhythmic, supporting the energetic drive of the tracks, while the drumming is lively and tight, using a minimalist kit to maintain the raw, stripped-down feel typical of their genre. By focusing on these elements, musicians can approximate the engaging and spirited sound that defines The Rocker Covers.
