Based out of Wilmington, Delaware, the Bullets were a rockabilly/blues-rock three piece. Obvious points of comparison are bands like the Stray Cats, Chris Isaak, and Levi & the Rockats.
While they open a cover with Johnny Burnette's "Tear It Up," (released in 1956), they also touch down in the late 1960s for a go at Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son."
The original songs show strong songwriting and snappy guitar work, and singer/guitarist Michael Davis has a good voice. I don't see that these guys ever got a record deal, but they could have put a out a solid rockabilly revival record.
If you've got any information about the band, please leave a comment below.
There's a touch of static that drifts in on a few cuts, but don't worry, it only lasts a short while.
