The Prowlers come from Grimsby on the East coast of England and have been playing the rockin' circuit for many years now, although the band itself is relatively new. The Prowlers came together as a band after spending the last 15 years playing for other well-known Rockabilly acts such as The Riot Rockers, The Blue Devils, The Rockets and The Blue Dots - to name just a few. However, they continuously found themselves disillusioned with the safety playing cover versions, when they were writing so many songs they felt they should be playing and recording. So they got together to realize what is known as The Prowlers - and what turned out to be a great band project. Their debut album entitled "Watch Out For The Prowlers" was released on Tune'a'Fish Records last year.
With their second album release on Cherokee Records, the Prowlers again prove their skills as songwriters and musicians - and that they have reached the goal they have set themselves: KEEPING ROCKABILLY REAL! The new CD album "Hot Sauce" contains 16 previously unreleased songs, 12 of which were written by the Prowlers themselves, most of them by their lead singer and guitarist, Paul "Greggs" Gregory. Their style is unique and stands out from the mass of contemporary Rockabilly bands. Their musical influences range from Hank Williams and 50s Rockabilly through early Neo Rockabilly.
The Prowlers have played extensively around the U.K. and Europe with their perfomances becoming ever more popular. They will play at Hemsby in October and will go on a European tour in autumn.
Line-up:
Paul "Greggs" Gregory - vocals and guitar
Robert "Rockin' Rob" Thomas - lead guitar
Guy "Triggsley" Trigg - double bass
Simon "Coppz" Coppin - drums
