This Double-CD comp features a whopping 58 Bands from 18 States and different 12 Countries. Many tracks are unreleased songs or out-of-print rarities. Styles range from Rockabilly to Garage, Punk to Bluegrass... all tinted with various shades of eccentric genius. Many bands opt for the Lo-Fi approach, recording in one live take on a 4-track, while others offer fuller studio tracks. Nothing compares to the artistic purity and ingenuity of a One Man Band, whether it is engineering complex musical contraptions or clever set-ups, or just simply the ability to deliver songs with uncompromised personal character. All bands included here perform as One Man Bands on stage, and are currently active.

"Four continents worth of OMB tracks guaran-fuckin'-teed to put the boogie in your brain, the shake in your ass, the wiggle in your walk, and knock loose the teeth in your head. This CD is the musical companion to Rock N Roll Purgatory #15, the "lost" OMB issue, and it is a doozy. If you've never heard a one man band act before, you'd be hard pressed to find a better introduction to the genre anywhere. The sheer volume: fifty-eight different acts playing one song each is staggering. If you've been listening to this type of stuff since Hasil Adkins started doing the Hunch, you'll be rolling around happy as a pig in shit to the wild and crazy versions of OMB mayhem contained on these discs." - Josh Benke, Razorcake

Wailin' Elroys
& Ghostwriter

Split 7"
Catalog #: RRP-012

4 songs

Rock N Roll Purgatory's first 7" release for all you vinyl junkies, and it's one that'll have you spinning. Two songs by each band to assure that you get more than your money's worth.

Side A is the Wailin' Elroys from down in Athens, Ohio, where the hillbilly sound is more than just an affectation. They have the traditional honky-tonk line-up of flat top guitar, doghouse bass fiddle, take-off lead guitar, and non-pedal steel guitar. 3rd Coast Music calls their songs "object lessons in the difficult art of innovating within the tradition," and that's no lie. They stamp their own seal on a time-tested genre and make it feel alive and honest in ways few bands have.

Side B is the Texas one-man band known as "Ghostwriter." While most one-man bands go mining the hills of West Virginia for that Hasil Adkins sound, Ghostwriter takes the highway to forge an identity of his own. Pained, raw, and literate: what results is something dragged kicking and screaming from the recesses of his sinister imagination. Dexter Romweber (Flat Duo Jets) states it best: "Minor chords into the dark trails of the night, the best new artist of the 2000�s."

The continuity between these bands comes in the sincerity with which they deliver the goods. These are sounds that fill the spaces between destinations, music for the long roads and jukeboxes that connect both cities and people.

Swing Ding Amigos

The Mongolita Chronicles
Catalog #: RRP-007

The Swing Ding Amigos have long been Tucson's best kept secret. A band that has traditionally worried more about music than self-promotion, they actually recorded this CD nearly 3 years ago. Fortunately it is finally doing more than gathering dust, instead gathering nearly as much praise as their live performances. Musically, they are a hard band to describe, mixing elements of rip-roaring punk rock with lo-fi garage racket, and throwing in a subtle dose of eccentric 70's rock weirdness and tuned-up stoner rock riffage. With songs blazing across your consciousness at brief but brutal velocities, this is a CD that never drags its feet. What's more, The Swing Ding Amigos stand above their peers not only in their sheer audio energy, but they also incorporate soulful melodies alongside the primal surge and blistering bilingualism. No whistling, hands-in-pockets artsy-ness here, instead you get sweaty, rapid-fire bursts of transmogrifying genius. The result is a disc that becomes addictive from the first hit and will make you just say "yes."
