notes

Ghettobillies 4th full length studio album "Cockpit" is a not so subtle departure from the roots upon which the harmonizing accoustic troubadours came. After touring Europe and America for 4 years with the current line up (Robbie Conaway, Derek Kramer, John Maloney, and Matt Longbons), the GBs have graduated to a level far exceeding even their own initial expectations. Their music and lyrics have become as mature and realized as the band itself. This album is the result of experience. Both in and out of the bars and on and off the stage. It's been 7 years of playing, singing and touring nonstop that has brought them undeniably and unavoidably to this point. They are at the peak of their powers and aren't planning on letting up anytime soon.



The concept album "Cockpit" is the tightest package you are likely to ever see emerge from an unsigned band. Being independent has afforded this group the opportunity to play whatever they want to whoever they want, whenever they want...and they have.

...and always will.

"Cockpit' is the next logical step in this bands constant evolution toward greatness and perfection. There won't be a better album put out by any unsigned band this year" -James Pantalones, Midwest Music Magazine

"An absolute masterpiece" -David Brillante, NYC Music

"This band deserves everything they're sure to get..." -Elizabeth Montgomery, Chicago Sun Times

  • Best Cd I Bought!
    author: Tim Syoen

    And thats not because I don't buy cd's anymore. The Ghettobillies have put out more beat and more love in one CD then some SIGNED bands ever put into their whole career! Keep up the good work guys!

  • It's just so refreshing, crisp and effervescent .
    author: Gareth Williams

    Brilliant melodies, delivered in style. I can't think of more praise than to inform you that Cockpit is not only my favourite CD, It's also my son's. I'm 56 years of age and my son is 17.

  • Don't miss this
    author: Caleen Kalweit

    You can dig the music or you can lost in the metaphors....this CD is their best right after In The Pink. When you think there is nothing left that is original, you now can listen to the Ghettobillies.I know what it means to be a Fan for Free. They can carry this spectacular performance live as well as recorded.I am sooooo lucky to see them on a regular basis for the cost of getting a bit bombed on Jagerbombs, the rest of the world should be so lucky.Flawless musicianship and Robbie may be as close as I can get to the magic and power of Freddie Mercury....he's got IT.

  • The CD is clear for take off!!
    author: Ghetto Fabulous

    This CD is awesome! I love it from its take off to its landing! Cockpit takes their music in a whole new direction. It has songs that will make you get up and dance and some that make you sit back and reflect. This CD has it all! Well done!

    The CD is much different then the GBs other CDs. It's great! It's been in my CD player 24-7 now!

  • The best album of 2005 without a doubt
    author: Big Black Jet (with a bad ass pilot)

    This album is excellent. I bought it from them at a live performance, and the songs capture the essence of the band, and is not a 'flat' recording. You can feel their passion in the music on this CD. There is absolutly no question that this is the greatest CD of 2005. If you have the choice between some gas for your car or this CD, all I can say is get ready to walk!

  • sweet cd
    author: Sarah

    Cd is awesome. I love how GB can play so many different sounds of music. Such good songs...can't wait to see them perform the songs live!

  • My ovaries are still a-shake!
    author: Proud Citizen of the GB Nation

    This CD is great...and much different from their other stuff, but not in a bad way. Great album with great songs and not void of the humor that we in the GBP love them for! Keep it up Rev, Pope, Lord and Holy....We love you! Especially you, Rev!

  • Ass Smackin Good

    Another great CD from the Ghettobillies. Very different from the usual but it works. They are playing stuff that you cannot get from any other band. Keep the good stuffa coming.

  • author: Ange

    Another success from the Ghettobillies. This CD is as fun as the others, though very different. Keep it up, boys!

  • Great CD!
    author: Ghetto Fan

    This CD is fantastic, not what I expected, but everything I demand in a CD worth purchasing... and it's worth every penny. Wonderfully conceived and executed... I can't stop listening.

  • Fantastic
    author: Crazy Darrell

    These guys keep getting better and better with each CD. This one is fantastic!!

  • author: GB's ROCK!

    AWESOME! Brilliant! Fabulous, "Shake your booty to the groud" tunes! But I expected noting less. You guys continue to amaze me! What would life be without tunes from the 'Billies?? Enjoy the UK tour and make it back to the States in one piece!

  • Beautiful
    author: BDH

    If this band set out to make a really fantastic and beautiful album, they succeeded...and then some! It's completely different from anything that they've done before. But it's as good, if not better than their previous recordings. It has not left my CD player for the last 3 weeks. I love this CD!!

  • Holy Sh*t
    author: Jimmy Carter

    This album is incredible. I've put it into my car stereo 3 weeks ago and it hasn't left it once. I could listen to this album for the rest of my life! It really is that f*cking good. Wow. I can't believe these guys aren't signed yet! what the HELL?!
