The Meteors, formed in London in 1980, are widely recognized as pioneers of the psychobilly genre—a fusion of punk rock and rockabilly infused with horror and science fiction themes. Founded by P. Paul Fenech (guitar and vocals), Nigel Lewis (upright bass), and Mark Robertson (drums), the band crafted a distinctive sound that has influenced countless artists. Their debut album, "In Heaven" (1981), set the stage for a prolific career spanning over four decades, with numerous albums and a dedicated global fanbase known as "The Crazies." The Meteors' enduring appeal lies in their energetic performances and unwavering commitment to the psychobilly ethos. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Meteors?utm_source=openai))
