II. The Regulators are the real deal. These wild eyed southern boys from Southern California play honky tonk, blues-infused, good-time boogie tunes kick started by harmonic layers of gut-bustin' guitars.
This Sextet delivers a unique blend of downhome American music as exemplified on their new Southbound Records CD entitled "Regulators Bar & Grill". Easy Rider Magazine called The Regulators "the best hard ridin' band since ZZ Top . . ." Songs from their newly completed second album like the kickin "Breakin' Out" and the socially observant "Money Pride & Greed" deliver powerhouse wallops that would have made Billy the Kid proud.

This is a new breed of rock & roll outlaws. They are recognized nationwide for their ability to rock the house, whether sharing a stage with Marshall Tucker or Motley Crue. The Regulators have also been seen in the company of Foghat, Black Oak Arkansas, Delbert McClinton, Buddah Heads, Pat Travers, Ted Nugent, Guess Who, and Great White.

They've been voted "Best South Bay Band" two years in a row by Rock City News and given the key to the City of Hawthorne. They also work with the Pediatric AIDS foundation and help to fight diabetes.
The Regulators are more than the pure power that fills dance floors from the sea to the heartland. The chief example of The Regulators' softer side is the melancholy "Sweet Sustain" homage to former member and brother Jimi Hughes who passed away in March of 1993.

The band has weathered much in the past 17 years. They've lived through the punk scene and various incarnations of rard rock and heavy metal, all the while remaining true to their unique musical identity. The Regulators use their common background and close relationship to form a rock solid bond with their fans.

The band's persistence has paid off well, making them one of the country's best-known biker favorites and an unforgettable addition to any show or soundtrack. Their song "Need for Speed", taken from their eponymous Polydor debut, was featured in the Christian Slater movie "Kuffs" and "Whiskey Fever" was featured in Steven Segal's film "Under Siege." Soundtrack work continues for the popular band with "Last Chance" taken from the Regulators title album, finding it's way onto the soundtrack of "The Girls of Rock Video 3"

The Regulators remain a favorite of crowds across the country, a position that will only expand with the release of "Regulators Bar & Grill." The Regulators are definitely here to stay.
