Truckerbilly

Truckerbilly is a fusion genre of rock music that mixes elements of country, punk rock, rockabilly, and other genres. It is one of several subgenres of rockabilly which also include psychobilly, thrashabilly, trashabilly, punkabilly, surfabilly and gothabilly. Truckerbilly is often characterized by lyrical references to science fiction/horror movies, urban legends, and violence, with comedic overtones. It is always played with an upright double bass instead of the common electric bass; genre founders The Ghost-Rig Truckers will not consider any band who uses a standard electric bass to be a Truckerbilly band. Truckerbilly gained underground popularity on the Internet beginning in the early 2010s, but remains largely unknown outside of small circles of enthusiasts.
