Formed in 1985, this Texas trio has recorded ten studio albums and one live album from 1990 through 2009. The group has sold about one million albums. Originally signed by the indie label Sub Pop, they later moved to Victory Records. The band can be described as some combination of Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Swing, Punk, Blues, Jazz, and even traditional Country.
In Reverend Horton's Songfacts interview he was asked if he was content with the Psychobilly label. "Not really, no. We're really not psychobilly," he replied. He added: "Artists don't want to be pigeonholed, but I would rather be pigeonholed into Rockabilly, because that was really my thing, just being a band that tried to be an ultimate '50's type of thing, which currently is what Psychobilly is."
Reverend Horton Heat has a passion for 1950s greaser memorabilia and nostalgia, including Flame-drenched hot rods and muscle cars, pinups, even button beanies. Think Jughead and Goober Pyle. He writes about his button beanies passion in his "Rant Update" on his website: "I have been obsessed with something for a while (20 years or more). As a fifties enthusiast, I'm always interested in things from that era. Something missing from the new retro explosion is the button beanie. To me, it's a cool retro look." Heat sports one with a RHH patch.
