The Hormonauts were formed in 1999 and thanks to the support of an independent swiss label - Voodoo Rhythm rec. released their first record “Hormone Hop” by throughout Europe.
It features twelve tracks, among them “Get off the wagon”, “Sweet young thing”, “Turkey Jive” and a great version of “Black Slacks”. The three artists promoted this record with many concerts in Europe: Germany, France, Holland, Spain, Switzerland are just a few of the countries that the fearless rockers stir up with their live act. So in three years they get a record deal with Ammonia Records – one of the most important italian independent labels and publish “Mini skirt”. Here the sound is even more blended, and the trio’s original tracks are truly epic. “Mini skirt”, “I see two”, “Mojito Joe” are three authentic jewels, with their excellent mix of rockabilly flavour with surf, ska and punk. The amazing versions of “Tainted love” and “Lonesome train” make this album appealing to a more varied audience. Their third album, “Hormone airlines”, is licensed by V2 records. Among its 14 tracks quite a few stand out: “Just why your blue” (with a rock/garage sound), “Cassius” and then “Solid gone”, “Little red Vanette” (going at a full speed with a captivating swing) up to the amazing ‘electro-western’ version of “Staying alive”, a pure essence of madness which will become a new video and a radio single. The “Hormonauts” believe their third album holds their real musical essence, their style and their artistic inspiration which the group has named “Hormonebilly”.
Now, introduced by the hit cover “My Sharona” The Hormonauts released “Hormonized”, their fourth album. It’s time now for the band to shift into a pure rock and roll sound: “Lucky Toy”, and “My Sharona”, but also the soft “Top of the world” or the “western” atmosphere of “Greasy Black hands. “Hormonized” and “Hormonette” are already true hymns, but the real blow are “Just Drive” and “Shit faced”!
The Hormonauts have taken part in the more important national rock festivals alongside groups such as Rancid, The Cramps, Nofx, Manu Chao, Millencollin, Ska-P, The Mars Volta and The Hives. Right now the Hormonauts are touring all over Italy and part of Europe with a new member, the Fourth Hormonaut, Reverend Cosmic, Andy's prodigal cousin from Somewhere, Texas! He's a Lap-Steel and Baritone guitar-slinger who'll be bringing a deep country twang and fuzz to the musical hurricane we already know and love! They'll be playing at Festivals, Clubs and wherever the fun is, riding their Big Blue Burnin’ Bus, two-litre diesel pleasure mobile!

Where's My Angel
The Hormonauts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And this crazy little devil's whisperin'in my hear,
'bout the six-foot blonde with the steel-blue eyes,
Who says she likes her men just about my size,
I look to the left and I look to the right,
But my guardian angel is nowhere in sight,
All I got's the devil and he's whisperin'to me,
"Don't you just love what you see?"
Where's my angel?
Where's my angel?
I've come thousand miles,
And big blonde smiles,
I'lookin' for my angel,
She's standin'far too close to me,
Where's my angel?
I get a nudge in the ribs and an all-knowing wink,
From a friend who believes tha he knows what I think,
And She's tellin' now that her boyfriend's in jail,
And nobody here' s gonna tattle-tale,
And my devil man tells me to take the big leap,
What the eyes don't see, thr heart can't weep,
She says that she's horny and I guess I am too,
What in hell am I gonna do?
Where's my angel?
Where's my angel?
I've come thousand miles,
And big bionde smiles,
I'lookin' for my angel,
She' s standin'far too close to me,
Where's my angel?
Now there's my angel,
Leanin' up at the bar,
Says, "Do what You want,
You done come this far, and I can't really see,
What the fuss is about,
So dig deep in your pocket,
'cause this is your shout,
You've never listened to me,
Or any that l've said,
So get a beer for yourself and a whisky for me
And take that young woman to bed!"
I get back from the bar, ali primed for the hit,
But it seems to that the blonde chick's split,
I look all around and all I can can see,
Is the devil and and the angel and they are laughin'at me,
I look to the left and I look to the right ,
But the belle of the ball is nowhere in sight,
L've missed my chance;it's just as well,
My girlfriend would make my life hell!
Where's my angel?
Where's my angel?
I've come thousand miles,
And big blonde smiles,
I'lookin' for my angel,
She's standin'far too close to me,
Where's my angel?
The Hormonauts' song “Where's My Angel” is about a man who is struggling with temptation and the possibility of cheating on his girlfriend. He has been drinking and doing drugs, and he meets a woman who he finds desirable. He is tempted to cheat on his girlfriend with this woman, but he also feels guilty about the possibility of doing so. The song includes lyrics such as, “I've come thousand miles, and big blonde smiles, I'lookin' for my angel, She's standin'far too close to me”.
The man in the song feels conflicted throughout, as on one hand, he has a devil on his shoulder urging him to cheat, while on the other hand, he has an angel who he hopes is looking out for him. Ultimately, the man finds himself alone, drunk, and without the woman he hoped to cheat with. The song explores themes of temptation, lust, and morality, and it does so in a catchy and upbeat way that makes the listener want to dance along.
