The Screaming Blue Messiahs were a band formed in 1983 in London by Bill Carter (vocals and guitar), Chris Thompson (bass and vocals) and Kenny Harris (drums). Featuring a high-octane sound sometimes described as "rockabilly from hell" and an almost unhealthy obsession with Americana they initially released the mini-album Good and Gone before signing to WEA. Three full-length albums followed, with the second, Bikini Red, providing their only top ten hit in the form of I Wanna Be a Flintstone (later included on the soundtrack to the live-action Flintstones movie).
