The Paybacks
Now here, my friends, is a rock n’roll band. With Wendy Case’s tough, powerful vocal in front of a heavily-guitar driven sound, The Paybacks lay it down and rock hard. I actually think they say it best with their own words: “Grab a 12 pack, crank up the volume, and tell the poseurs and the bullies to get lost. Rock ‘n’ roll is fun again.”
The band was formed by seasoned veterans of the Detroit rock scene (The Hentchmen, Rocket 455, Ten High, The Muggs), and this clearly can be heard in their mature, well-devloped sound. The Detroit scene is rich with bands that can rock, but The Paybacks perform on a slightly higher level than most. Be sure you turn it up nice and loud.
Note: Pursuing other interests the band has been on hiatus since early 2007.
