[[The Smiths]] incorporated rockabilly influences in songs such as "[[Meat Is Murder|Nowhere Fast]]", "[[Shakespeare's Sister (song)|Shakespeare's Sister]]" and "[[Vicar in a Tutu]]". The style also influenced their look towards the end of their 5 year existence in the 1980s. [[Morrissey]] also adopted a rockabilly style during the early 1990s, being largely influenced by his guitarists Boz Boorer and [[Alain Whyte]] and working with former [[Fairground Attraction]] bass-guitarist and songwriter [[Mark E. Nevin]].{{citation needed|date=January 2014}} His rockabilly style was emphasised in the singles "[[Pregnant for the Last Time]]" and "[[Sing Your Life]]", as well as his second solo album and tour ''[[Kill Uncle]]''.

Irish rockabilly artist [[Imelda May]] has been partly responsible for a resurgence of European interest in the genre, scoring three successive number one albums in Ireland, with two of those also reaching the top ten in the UK charts.

UK artist [[Jimmy Ray]] incorporated themes and aesthetics of rockabilly music into his image as well as his 1998 hit, [[Are You Jimmy Ray?]], which Ray described as "[[Pop music|pop]]abilly [[Hip hop music|hip hop]]".<ref name="LAT15421">{{cite web |last1=Crowe |first1=Jerry |title=Looking for Respect |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-mar-25-ca-32380-story.html |website=Los Angeles Times |date=March 25, 1998 |access-date=April 15, 2021}}</ref>

Singer-songwriter and actor [[Drake Bell]] recorded an album of rockabilly covers, ''[[Ready Steady Go! (album)|Ready Steady Go!]]'', in 2014. The album was produced by Brian Setzer, frontman of the rockabilly revival band The Stray Cats. The album sold over 2,000 copies in its first week of release, peaking at #182 on the [[Billboard 200]], and received positive reviews from critics.

Neo-rockabilly UK band [[Restless (band)|Restless]], have played neo-rockabilly since the early 1980s. The style was to mix any popular music to a rockabilly set up, drums, slap bass and guitar. This was followed by many other artists at the time in London. Today, bands like Lower The Tone are more aligned to neo-rockabilly that suits popular music venues instead of the dedicated rockabilly clubs that expect only original rockabilly.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rockabillyhall.com/restless.html|title=RAB Hall of Fame: Restless|website=Rockabillyhallhall.com|access-date=August 22, 2015|archive-date=December 3, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211203182509/http://www.rockabillyhall.com/Restless.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lowerthetone.biz/|title=Lower The Tone|website=Lowerthetone.biz|access-date=August 22, 2015}}</ref>
