Bio: "From the Rawk music collective of Toronto's psychobilly nightlife comes a full-force, cow-punk movement known as Christian D & the Hangovers. The Hangovers kick their own brand of artfully crafted rockabilly into full overdrive when they hit the stage or studio, beating up every eardrum and ins... See Full Bio

“So who is Christian D? What makes this singer/songwriter totally magnetic in terms of music and presentation? Well, a lot of things actually but I will just state the obvious. He’s got the attitude that will make you want to listen what he says or what he sings about. Lyrically and musically, he’s compelling. And he lives to the occasion as he is our featured artist along with this interview. Check this out and spread the vibes! I listened to all your releases and you have a signature sound along with that big voice. Where did you get all that combination? Any signature sound is probably half by design, and half dumb luck.”

— Baxter Labatos, Sphere Music

““Anyone who has seen him perform with his band (The Hangovers ) knows that he dishes out a feast of hard-edged, raw sound that reminds you of Shakin’ Stevens-gone-bad-boy meets Nick Cave,” Gricken says, offering a spot-on description of his music and persona. One of the scene’s most magnetic performers, the singer-guitarist says he just wants to “write songs and then burn myself to the ground playing them live. “It’s like a self-exorcism. Hopefully, it’s entertaining to watch. If I leave the stage wrung out and barely able to speak, then I feel like I’ve done my job." ”

— Errol Nazareth, The Toronto Sun

“Christian DeArmond doesn’t seem to give a toss what tags critics use to describe the music that his band, Christian D & the Hangovers, makes. I didn’t ask, but I’m guessing he’s pretty comfy with psychobilly. With a style that looks to The Cramps, Nick Cave and Elvis, The Hangovers belt out distorted, punky rockabilly on record and on stage as if their lives depended on it. Their hour-long set at the East End Rockabilly Riot two weeks back was exhilarating and one that will surely be reprised when The Hangovers — featuring Mack Black, brothers Ken and Tim Kelley and charismatic frontman DeArmond — invade the Bovine Sex Club tonight. If you can’t make it to the gig, I highly recommend snatching up a copy of their blazing full length disc, Shake It or Leave It. It boasts the same volume, energy and power as their live show.”

— Errol Nazareth, Toronto Sun

“From the dark underbelly of Toronto, where urban cowboys moonlight in the psychobilly clubs comes Christian D And The Hangovers. Mixing early rock n roll with punk, country and lots of beer, Christian D And The Hangovers do for rockabilly what Big Rude Jake does for big band music. After the well-received Life Gets In The Way EP, released in 2008, Christian D And The Hangovers had to go full length to build on their legacy. Build on it they have with the dynamic Shake It...Or Leave It! This is an album you can't put down.”

“We are excited to announce Christian D and the Hangovers have signed with Clayton. What a display of energy this band shows in their photos. You’ve got to see them live. You can find out where they are playing next right here by clicking on this link “Christian D and the Hangovers” They have been using our white pearl, .8mm rounded triangle shape, custom guitar picks. We look forward to making more picks for this fun band. ”

— Steve Clayton Official Blog

“Opener "Vampire Rocker," storms out of the gate in a fury of pounding drums, fiery guitars and yelped vocals, a horror-themed number with a Psychobilly edge. And "Mr. Handsome" is an unexpected change of pace, a sinister serial killer tale featuring some great tremelo-fueled twangy guitar."”

— David S. Faris, Blue Suede News # 89 Winter 09/2010

“...suddenly Track 1, Vampire Rocker, rips out of the speakers as if some demonic sect had summoned something which Buffy will have to deal with once it's blazed a trail of carnage through the nighttime streets of Toronto.”

— Al E. Cat, Rockabilly HQ

“Call it psychobilly, rockabilly, or cow-punk... it rocks.”

— Swede, The Cat's Meow
