The Black Knights – Yonder Comes A Sucker (2000)
Excellent Rock 'n' Roll and Rockabilly from rockin' guitar ace Tom Powder and the Black Knights. Stompin' greasy Teddyboy Rock 'n' Roll with catchy melodies. A great album from one of the best bands of the Teddyboy scene. "Raucous Records"

The devil himself just sat in a tree at the Hårga Mountain playing rockabilly music, and making people dance until only their skulls remained, that's a well known fact.
The year was 1981 and the place Kilafors in Hälsingland (Sweden). Three youngsters Jesse James (16), Dickie Dirtwater (16) and Terrible Tom Powder (14) decided to form a band. They named themselves "The Steelcramphs". They later transformed into "Sneaky Pete & His Hamtrank Home Brewers" and shortly after into the "Black Knights", travelling to their first gigs by train or bus, or Dickie's mother giving them a ride. They've kept the same line up ever since (well, Alf Östlund joined them on accoustic guitar for awhile) and they've kept the same fans all along, allthough the crowd seems to have increased over the years. There's no doubt that the Black Knights today are more popular than ever.
