style

In addition to the Panhandle Alks, the Rockabilly Mafia is one of the founders of German-speaking rockabilly. They sing songs with English and German lyrics and constantly deviate from the crowd both musically and lyrically. For example, there are songs about accident victims or child abuse as well as about the chronic shortage of money on pub crawls. In contrast to most other bands, the Mafia can boast of never having covered a song.
