The Fistfull Of... series has already reached its 9th edition (and number 10 is on the way). The people at Devil Doll Records have gone out of their way to compile another excellent compilation with the dirtiest, sleaziest rock ‘n roll, punk and glamrock this side of the galaxy.

You can find a whopping 25 bands on this disc, many of which have contributed unreleased tracks or demo/alternate versions from known songs. Bands like the Peepshows, Hellacopters (adding a remastered track) and the mighty New Bomb Turks (a demo version from “End Of The Credibility Race”) are probably the best known to you all, but there’s so much more here: the Lambs (from Finland) with their Misfits inspired rock, the hardrocking sounds of Bisapiens, the Stooges influenced rock from The Gargoyles and the female fronted Drag Triplets are just the tip of this iceberg.

Good stuff.

All this comes with a nice booklet, including some info on the bands (plus contact addresses) and the second installment of the history of rock ‘n roll (the first part was printed in the booklet of volume 8). The international aspect is cool and the music just plain rocks. If you’re into the aforementioned genres, then this is money well spent.
