“Sound Proof” review (Stomp & Stammer, Jan. 2012)

January 17th, 2012

Nice review of “Sound Proof” from Stomp & Stammer (January 2012)

Rocksploitation’s new CD Sound Proof collect various singles, stray tracks, remastered favorites from their first two albums and five new recordings which stand as the minimalist garage rock trio’s best to date. A little like The Subsonics minus the sleazy underbelly, Rocksploitation don’t offer much in the way of variety but taken individually their songs supply a refreshing bite of early rock ‘n’ roll’s giddy enthusiasm, as if Buddy Holly survived the plane crash and joined The Trashmen.

CD Release Party – Sunday, November 20th @ The E.A.R.L.

November 17th, 2011

Rocksploitation will celebrate the release of “Sound Proof” on November 20th, 2011 with a 1:00 PM show at The E.A.R.L. (in East Atlanta)

Here is the “Hype” from Adam…

Sound Proof: the Hype (Part One)
Here we are, barely into a new decade, so it’s time to reflect on the triumphs of the previous one. And, if it’s possible, let’s also look back on the music of Rocksploitation. It’s all here, Folks; from “Flip It Over,” cut at Sun Studios in Memphis in 2005, (featured in the movie The Blood Shed and released as a single) to last year’s yuletide hit “Seatbelts for Santa.” There’s also nine remastered tracks culled from the band’s  self-titled debut and its follow-up Instant Action.  But, what makes Sound Proof essential listening (and essential purchasing) is the inclusion of five new recordings: “Sound Proof (‘78)”, a new version of the title-track and frequent concert opener, “Hoodlum,” an unholy marriage of Tom Petty and the Buzzcocks, “Leaving Surf City,” an homage to Jan & Dean, the Beach Boys, and author Bob Greene (When We Get to Surf City), “World Wants More,” a lesson in economy and two-chord crankiness, plus, the self-explanatory “Rockin’ In Atlanta” (soon to be included in a documentary about a yet to-be-determined city).
Sound Proof is Rocksploitation’s finest hour, delivering the best and best sounding of the group’s stripped-down, four on the floor rock ‘n’ roll sound.  Listeners may also be interested to know that if you sync this album up with the film Citizen Kane, it makes for a wildly inappropriate soundtrack.

If you are looking for kicks…..

September 28th, 2010

If you are looking for kicks, look no further than the new LP from Rocksploitation. “All Momma’s Children Wanna Rock” is a rip-roaring ride on the fun side of rock and roll. From the familiar favorites (Chuck Berry’s “School Days”) to revative obscuritites (Charlie Feathers’ “Peepin’ Eyes”) this disc really packs a wallop!

Thinks kick off with the misadventures of “Flat Foot Sam” delivered as a rhythm and blues chug, then plunges into Little Richards’ “Slippin’ And Slidin’”with a surf-rock twist.

The group takes “Do You Wanna Dance?” down to Lubbock, Texas and give “Flying Saucers Rock and Roll” a new arrangement that is out of this world (ahem).

Owners of “Instant Action”, Rocksploitation’s previous LP will find the new album a perfect companion piece.  Live favorites like “Bad Boy” and “C’mon Everybody” seem written for the group, while “Go Go Gorilla” is sure to get the whole room jumping around and pounding their chests.

If real rock and roll is what you crave, “All Momma’s Children Wanna Rock” is ready to give it to ya!
