But musically speaking, we were two peas in a pod. Anyone who brings Now Look by Ron Wood on tour is all right by me! And after one of the German shows, I\u2019m told someone on Facebook called us \u2018The Two Greatest Rockers from Each Side of the Pond.\u2019 So, I guess we did all right (laughs).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/41823331_1364828386953959_3161382188794303149_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2227 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/41823331_1364828386953959_3161382188794303149_n-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/41823331_1364828386953959_3161382188794303149_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/41823331_1364828386953959_3161382188794303149_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/41823331_1364828386953959_3161382188794303149_n-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/41823331_1364828386953959_3161382188794303149_n.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBut now that he\u2019s back home, Carlyle\u2019s been back in his second home: the recording studio. The New York-born frontman has been putting the final touches on Ferocious, the follow-up to his wildly acclaimed band\u2019s sophomore effort, Dirty Fun (2015) \u2013 a release music scribes spilled much ink over as they favorably compared the underground underdogs to legendary artists such as AEROSMITH, THE NEW YORK DOLLS and THE ROLLING STONES.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recording process has taken longer than I expected but then again, we had about thirty tracks in the works,\u201d explains Rob. \u201cAnd it wasn\u2019t until recently that we narrowed them down to the ten songs that\u2019ll be on (Ferocious). But on the flip side, with the other 20 or so tracks already in progress, we have a great head start on the next couple of albums.\u201d<br \/>\nAs he continues to tinker with producer Ken Rich at Grand Street Recording, Rob springs a second Ferocious teaser video on the unsuspecting public.<\/p>\n<p>To quickly backtrack: The first clip was unleashed in late 2017, featuring upcoming ditty, \u201cDirtbag Blues\u201d \u2013 an obscenity-laced spurt of back alley sleaze with none other than Earl Slick (yes, DAVID BOWIE\u2019s guitarist!) delivering a rapid-fire barrage of snarling CHUCK BERRY-style licks and riffs. In addition to Carlyle and Slick, rounding out the \u201cDirtbag\u201d lineup was ex-NEW YORK DOLLS drummer, Brian Delaney, and ex-RAGING SLAB bassist, Alex Morton<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SxQPzkjForE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to today for the release of a second Ferocious video.<\/p>\n<p>In this latest video, Rob and a seemingly heavily sedated nurse are sprawled out on a dirty basement floor while Rob strums his battered Telecaster. The music features THE COMPULSIONS tearing through THE ROLLING STONES\u2019 country-inspired classic, \u201cDead Flowers\u201d. The \u201cFlowers\u201d recording lineup consists of two GUNS N\u2019 ROSES alumni, Ron \u201cBumblefoot\u201d Thal on guitar heroics and Frank Ferrer on drums, along with Carlyle and Morton in their respective roles \u2013 not to mention gospel-tinged backing vocals by Nicki Richards (borrowed from MADONNA and MARIAH CAREY) and boozy barroom piano by Andrew Sherman.

In the meantime, I hope everyone gets a kick outta this little clip. And please keep spinning THE COMPULSIONS real loud and please keep telling all your friends about the band.
