A Fistful More Of Rock’N’Roll Volume 3
SCREAMING CROW
Another glorious pile of junk (rock).
Back in the noughts, true believer Sal Canzonieri, of Electric Frankenstein, began compiling the crucial Fistful Of Rock’N’Roll CD compilations, the Nuggets of the nascent junk/ action rock scene spurned by underground US punk’n’roll acts like The Dwarves and Candy Snatchers and the hoary wave of retro-rock from Scandinavian heavies like Turbonegro and Gluecifer. Canzonieri managed 13 volumes in just under a decade. After taking a decade-long breather, he’s back with the third in his comeback series. Without the steady trickle of overstuffed speedball rock CD comps, it started to feel like maybe the ‘action rock’ scene had finally run out of fuel, left to choke on its own dust as the kids moved on to something horrible. Well, the latter part is probably true, but, as this sprawling, messy, wondrous clobbering of a compilation demonstrates, the action is still go.
