SOUL
LIKE FIRE – the difficult second release!
Five
months in the making, but now complete and on general release is the second release on Rowed Out Records.
18
bands from all over the world with original song contributions from the UK and the rest of Europe, USA and Australia, all
different in style, but all come under the moniker of ‘60’s Mod Beat’.
From
the UK we have the Prisoners sounding THE PATTERNS,
MODUS from Scotland provide foot-tappin’ modern retro grooves, THE KEEPERS from Belfast give us an ace garage blast whilst THE HOODWINKS and THE MARKSMEN provide perfect examples of
60’s British R&B. THE SHAKE! give us classic rock ‘n’
soul with THE IMPACT’s 60s style stomper and THE LOST 45s mellow winner completing the UK line-up.
To
Europe where we have from Norway, THE INDIKATION with a great groover from their
“In terms of The Indikation” CD, THE HERETICS give a sike slice
of R&B and THE SMELL OF MUTINY provide psychedelic beat-rock. From Sweden
come the excellent MOVEMENTS with a track from their ‘Grain of oats’
CD.
Two
bands from Germany next – the manic beat masters THE BLOW-UPS and BeatRevolver who both provide top garage beat.
Onto
Belgium and the R&B mastery of THE GONKS (check out the video on myspace)
and then to finish the Europe tour, to Greece and the superb FRANTIC V with
a brand new track.
Last
and definitely not least to the USA and Australia and those stalwarts of garage R&B – THE WOGGLES with a track from their ‘Ragged but right’
CD. Oz/Europe band DollSquad play an excellent cover of the Ray Charles classic
‘I don’t need no doctor’
So
there you go. 18 blasts of prime ‘60s Mod Beat’. PLAY IT LOUD AND PROUD.
AVAILABLE
NOW FOR ONLY £8.49 + P&P (UK £1.00, EUROPE
£1.50, ROW £2.00)
Accepting
PayPal, UK cheques and cash.
Lastly,
a MASSIVE thank-you to all the bands involved for their time, and also the effort of sending contracts, master CDs etc. back
to me. MUCHOS GRACIAS everyone.
Also
a thank-you to the record labels who released tracks to the compilation and of course HisKnibs for the fantastic artwork.
