The Compulsions - Beat The Devil

Bitrate: MP3@320K/s

Year: 2011
Art: Front

[3:08] 1. Hired Gun
[2:15] 2. I Just Wanna Play Guitar
[3:21] 3. Dirty Woman Blues
[6:21] 4. Yer Too Good Fa Me
[0:44] 5. Eat My Dust

The group's recording lineup consists of Rob Carlyle on lead vocal and guitar, Richard Fortus (GUNS N' ROSES, THIN LIZZY) on guitar, Sami Yaffa (NEW YORK DOLLS, HANOI ROCKS, MICHAEL MONROE) on bass and Frank Ferrer (GUNS N' ROSES) on drums along with many of Carlyle's favorite local musicians; including long-revered blues guitarist Hubert Sumlin (HOWLIN' WOLF, MUDDY WATERS).

Because the ten songs on Beat The Devil go off in all directions it’s very difficult to feel any sort of flow to the whole thing. It’s like listening to a soundtrack album when you haven’t seen the film — all the songs are good, but you need some sort of context to put them into. Beat The Devil is a good record, but I can’t honestly say that it’s going to appeal to many people on account of how all over the place it is — I like that, but I fear it’ll keep a lot of folk away. ~Hetfield’s Mullet

Rob Carlyle & The Compulsions - Dirty Fun

Bitrate: MP3@320K/s
Time: 36:16
Size: 83.0 MB
Styles: Blues rock
Year: 2015
Art: Front

[3:41] 1. Hellbound Babies

[3:36] 9. Stay Eazy

In 2015, the Compulsions released Dirty Fun, their best album to date, which showcases lingerie-clad legs and font that’s a nod to the Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers album cover. Ex- Hanoi Rocks bassist Sami Yaffa and Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus have departed from the group but have been replaced by the equally exciting bassist Alec Morton and upper echelon guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal.

What’s great about Rob Carlyle & The Compulsions is that they are real musicians who not only are masters of their instruments, but also know that changing it up is key. Not every song sounds the same on Dirty Fun, in fact, tunes range from an up-tempo, rockabilly-inspired number to dusty, beer swillin’ biker vibes. The glory days of ZZ Top and AC/DC have passed. Tossed to the side for sappy, yawn producing crooners Coldplay and the commercial pop fakeness of Katy Perry. We’ve had enough Kanye. . . we want our screaming guitars back. Rob and his crew are helping break the streak of mediocrity that dominates the music halls and radio stations.
