Stray Cats

The Stray Cats were the leaders of the rockabilly revival of the eighties, attempting to bring back the original style of rock in a world of synth-based rock, alternative, and metal. Due to their notable success, artists like Aerosmith, George Thorogood, and Van Halen also participated. Frontman Brian Setzer would go on to form The Brian Setzer Orchestra, a jump blues revival group who would become successful in the "swing revival" of the late nineties. The Reverend Horton Heat would later create a combination of punk and rockabilly in the form of "psychobilly". The Stray Cats had two bestselling albums and four hit singles with Bring it Back Again being an additional rock hit.
