The Compulsions

From day one, Rob Carlyle has tapped some of New York’s finest to bring his gritty rock ’n’ roll vision to life. Past collaborators include members of Guns N’ Roses, Hanoi Rocks, New York Dolls, Raging Slab, and even guitar legend Earl Slick of David Bowie and John Lennon fame. The Compulsions’ recordings have also featured blues icon Hubert Sumlin, whose work with Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters shaped the very foundation of rock.

Over the years, Carlyle and his rotating cast of rock royalty have unleashed a string of critically acclaimed releases, earning raves like:

“New York Punk ’N’ Roll Supergroup” – Über Rock
“By Far One Of The Greatest Underrated Rock Bands Of Our Generation” – antiMusic
“Coolest Band In The World” – Classic Rock Magazine

With reviews like these stacking up release after release, it’s hard to argue against the claim: The Compulsions are one of the most acclaimed—if not the most acclaimed—underground rock bands on the planet.
