Chinese Rocks

Another recent but highly limited and semi bootleg slab of vinyl. Direct from Outhouse Records (?) and on vaguely racist yellow vinyl, 'Chinese Rocks' is a collection of top notch South East Asian rock'n'roll madness. Mostly from Hong Kong and Singapore, it's the sound of western youth culture being reinterpreted and reshaped, a musical concept that I love.  Many of these bands were undoubtedly playing the lounges of hotels or in 'foreign' bars and these recordings may have been little more than an attempt to cash in on an assumed hipness, but there's some wild musical abandon here, and it is good. Find it here.
