===Second wave in Europe===
The second wave of psychobilly is noted as having begun with the 1986 release of British band [[Demented Are Go]]'s debut album ''[[In Sickness & In Health]]''.<ref name="Downey, 78"/> The genre soon spread throughout [[Europe]], inspiring a number of new acts such as [[Mad Sin]] (formed in Germany in 1987) and the [[Nekromantix]] (formed in [[Denmark]] in 1989), who released the album ''[[Curse of the Coffin]]'' in 1991.<ref name="Downey, 80"/> [[The Quakes]] formed in [[Buffalo, New York]] in 1986, but had such difficulty building a following in their hometown that they moved to London the following year, where they released the album ''Voice of America'' in 1990.<ref name="Downey, 77"/><ref name="Downey, 78"/><ref name="Downey, 80"/><ref name="Downey, 81"/> Another significant release of this era was the compilation album ''Rockabilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease'', which acknowledged the genre's roots in rockabilly and garage rock.<ref name="Downey, 80"/>

The second-wave bands broadened the music's scope, with the introduction of new and diverse musical influences into the sound.<ref name="Downey, 78"/> Record labels such as Nervous and Crazy Love helped the genre to expand, although it still remained largely unnoticed in the United States, where the albums were poorly distributed and most psychobilly bands preferred to play weekenders than to tour.<ref name="Downey, 78"/> Nick 13 states that while other British youth trends such as [[scooter (motorcycle)|scooter]] riding, the [[skinhead]] subculture, and [[2 Tone (music genre)|2 Tone]] [[ska]] crossed over to the United States during the 1980s, psychobilly did not.<ref name="Downey, 78"/>

However, one American act that emulated the style was [[The Reverend Horton Heat]], formed in [[Dallas, Texas]] in 1985. Their 1990 single "[[Psychobilly Freakout]]" helped introduce American audiences to the genre.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}} The band was heavily inspired by [[The Cramps]], and original Cramps members [[Lux Interior]] and [[Poison Ivy (musician)|Poison Ivy]] have both identified The Reverend Horton Heat as the latter-day rockabilly/psychobilly band most closely resembling the style and tone of The Cramps.<ref name="Downey, 79">Downey, p.79.</ref> Horton Heat noted that the lack of audience awareness of the band was in some ways a benefit: "Somehow, as a band, we continue[d] to fly just below the radar of the whole music business. Which means we g[o]t to concentrate on being [touring] musicians, not recording artists."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2002/oct/17/20021017-092907-3355r/ |title=Drugs, Drinking, Women |newspaper=The Washington Times |date=October 17, 2002 |access-date=February 8, 2018}}</ref>
