This compilation ties up the best bits of the very brief career of glam rockers Sgt. Roxx who formed back in the mid '80s. The quintet promised much with the release of their 1987 demo 'Squeeze It Some More...' and although this was followed in 1990 by the 'Push & Squeeze' EP it was a case of too little too late and they dissolved, but this opus is a good way of reliving some extremely sprightly moments of a band who were a lot heavier than initially given credit for. Very much on that Crue trip what with Jack Adams' sneering vocals and that weighty guitar sound which enables the likes of 'Push & Squeeze' to really lift off like a love rocket to the moon. Tracks such as 'My Lady' also give an inkling as to how good this band was but with a bulging scene at the time it was just a case of Sgt. Roxx slipping under the radar, so snap this up if you like infectious, swaggering, pouting metal.
7/10
