X-Ray Cat Trio release their third album through Property Of The Lost on 18th November 2022. Recorded at Hohm Studios over the summer of 2022, this is their first STEREO adventure but like all previous endeavours, it is 100% analogue tape recorded. Famous for grimy surf and garage rock, the West Yorkshire three piece have introduced elements of western soundtrack and even low-fi Motown into the heady mix that is “Haunted.”

X Ray Cat Trio have been dropping their own unique blend of surf, rockabilly + punk rock since 2009, when guitarist El Nico teamed up with bass player Adam Richards to form the root of this gritty and trashy garage band.

The band are grafters and pulled in many tours through the UK and Europe supporting the likes of The Meteors, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind, The Legendary Shack Shakers, Dan Sartain, Delta Bombers, Bob Log III, Daddy Long Legs also playing Rebellion, Boomtown and Bedlam Breakout festivals. The band have two albums under their belt; Out For Blood (2015) and Love, Blood & Monsters (2020) both selling out of the vinyl pressing. Last year they teamed up with singer Harriet Hyde to record a 7” Ep of 50’s inspired mutant doo-wop.

Wearing their influences on their sleeves, it’s clear they draw faithfully from the authentic stylings of Billy Childish, Dan Sartain, nasty 50’s rockabilly, gritty 60’s garage and trashy 70’s punk rock. They are a no-messin’ rock and roll band.
