When I receive a compilation of 26 different bands and songs I’ve never heard of, I get a little bit of an uneasy feeling in my stomach. Is it really worth listening to? Should I pass up a compilation of songs about fucking, err…I mean sex and rock n’ roll? But hey, even if the songs sucked and don’t get me hot and bothered, at least there’s some eye candy inside of naked chicks.

Well, I was wrong on both counts. There’s better free porn all over the internet and the songs got me bothered all right… bothered enough to kill someone if this music ever got me laid.

But in good rock n’ roll spirit here are the gems I found on this album. Laternjack’s “Pretty Hex” was definitely a hard hitting, cock rock song. “Porn Star” by Porn Rock is a sexy song. If Barbie worked at a strip joint and instead of a lap dance you wanted her to sing to you, this would be what it sounded like. Queen Bee’s “Hot Alot” is also sexy but it can turn into the whips and chains type. The vocals are sweet but can suddenly make the hairs on your neck stand up with one of her cat like screams. There’s also a pretty sweet guitar solo in the middle of the song. The Double Barrelled Slingshots’ “The Truth About Boys and Girls” reminds me of a song the Lunachicks could’ve come out with. Skum’s “Slut” is what I think this album was really going for. The name says it all. I can hear this song being played in strip clubs, bedrooms, public bathrooms, wherever! The lyrics are funny but definitely nasty with hard hitting drums and grinding guitars. Finally, I have to give it up to the funniest band Dog Shit Boys for their song “One Minute Fuck”. When the vocalist evilly growls “oh baby I’m a one minute fucker” I’m thinking “oh baby you’re my worst nightmare.”
So go on rockin’ with your bad selves, even if it’s without this compilation. But do try to check out those bands for a good time or even for a laugh.
