The Compulsions are led by father and front man Rob Carlyle with Richard Fortus (Guns N' Roses) on guitar, Sami Yaffa (Michael Monroe Band, New York Dolls) on deep and Frank Ferrer (Guns N' Roses) on drums.
According to Carlyle: "When we played in early January, it'd been over a twelvemonth since we were on stage together and with our schedules we could only rehearse once the dark before. But there's something almost the 4 of us because no matter how long it's been, whenever we get in the same room, the music just comes together instantly."
A total length Compulsions album titled Get The Devil is likewise in the plant with a really special guest appearance by guitar legend Hubert Sumlin (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf).
"There's a lot of new Compulsions fans lately and I'm glad to say they've been really getting into it. For starters, one couple drove 5 hours from New Hampshire through the ice and c to see us play and a couple girls flew in from Sweden. So we're gonna put out a new book as shortly as possible and hopefully keep the momentum going." adds Carlyle.
When asked about the brainchild behind "Big, Fat, Sexy Mama" Carlyle explains: "Lots of mass have written songs like this before, whether it's John Lee Hooker with "Big Legs, Tight Skirt," AC/DC with "Whole Lotta Rosie" or Sir Mix-A-Lot with "Baby Got Back" and it seemed time for somebody to save another one. The lyrics are obviously filthy but what's really surprising is the amount of positive feedback I get from women of all shapes and sizes."
Ferrer and Fortus have performed on all three Compulsions EPs, Laughter From Below (2004), Demon Love (2008) and Been Through Hell (2009). The 6-song discs, known to diehard fans as "The Unholy Trinity," have received nearly universal critical acclaim from both the metro and mainstream press, including Classic Rock magazine which dubbed The Compulsions "The Coolest Band In The World."
