*** Out of all the rock ‘n’ roll sleaze bands in Hollywood during the 1980s, The Joneses are recognized as coming first and being the toughest and most honest of them all. This group of trash rockers mix of the New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders, and Eddie Cochran, too glam for punk and too punk for rock. If the term “trashy rock ‘n’ roll” could only apply to one band,
This is a reissue of the rare and sought-after Joneses record Keeping Up with The Joneses from 1986. It’s been re-mastered and includes songs only found here, unseen pictures, lyrics, and liner notes courtesy of Josh Rutledge from Now Wave and from Jeff Drake, the man himself.
*** The British glam punk band the Soho Roses was only around from 1987-1989, but they managed to secure themselves a strong glam and punk cult following that continues to this day. The four rockers, played all the major ‘80s London clubs and recorded one 7” single, one 12" EP, and one full-length LP for the indie label Trash Can Records of London. These recordings, along with three remixed favorites, are here for the first time on CD with many rare band pictures and in-depth liner notes.
*** Coming Canada, are the Sick Fits with their first full-length album. With two killer vinyl singles and one CD single under their belts, these five attitude-filled rock ‘n' rollers have already carved themselves a strong fan base in both Canada and in the United States. Here on their debut album, the Sick Fits change and tighten it up, moving away from the spastic Killed by Death punk tunes played in earlier days, this time turning us on to some seriously catchy, pre-punk styled rock ‘n' roll jams, bringing to mind a revved-up T. Rex, Stones, or Stooges for the rebel rock ‘n' roll generation of today.
