Hard Rock Punk blues mixing it up New York Style, a little bit of reggae thrown in, The Compulsions are one of the best bands that  people outside of the Big Apple have never heard of.

I don't want to compare them to any other band--many have played the sound alike game, with GNR and the New York Dolls on the top of the lists.  Let it be said The Compulsions aspire to a classic, timeless blues sound that speaks well of the entire genre of rock 'n' roll. Listening to them reminds me of the line by Brownie McGhee -- "The blues had a baby and they called it rock 'n' roll."

This album comes at your with no breathing space, like a zombie with arms outstretched fingers around your neck. Maybe they should relax a little bit, have a little more fun, take the rock'n'roll career business thing a little less seriously.
 

A great band! I'd like to hear more of their music. This is tasty, an apertif.
