I can see why they wouldn't call themselves psychobilly. Honestly, it's more of a personal preference for me. Other psychobilly bands usually end up devolving into so much self parody that the kitschiness of it just wears off. Not to mention hearing the same reverbed guitar arpeggios and surfer drums gets old, too. In my head, 80's Matchbox are what psychobilly should sound like to me (even when they change their sound). I guess it's the attitude more than anything.
