Geschichte
Die Band wurde 1979 zuerst unter dem Namen βThe Legendary Raw Dealβ gegrΓΌndet, nannte sich aber schon bald in βThe Meteorsβ um. Bandleader ist der SΓ€nger und Gitarrist P. Paul Fenech aus London. Seine Wahlheimat ist Mailand. Die oft mit der Band in Zusammenhang gebrΓ€uchliche AbkΓΌrzung βOTMAPPβ bedeutet βOnly The Meteors Are Pure Psychobillyβ.
Stil
Beeinflusst vom Rock βnβ Roll und Rockabilly der 1950er Jahre sowie vom Punk begrΓΌndeten The Meteors die Stilrichtung Psychobilly mit. Ihre Texte bewegen sich dabei hauptsΓ€chlich im Horror-B-Movie-Bereich. Politische Texte oder Aussagen werden dagegen strikt abgelehnt.
