The Jack Saints - Rock Roll Holocaust

Review by Stefanie Schloß

Rock Roll Holocaust by The Jack Saints: A Raw, Unapologetic Blast from the US Underground If you’re a fan of garage rock with punk and hard rock edges, Rock Roll Holocaust by The Jack Saints is gonna hit the spot. Released in 2000 on Scooch Pooch Records, this album feels like stumbling into some chaotic, beer-soaked dive bar where everyone’s just there to let loose. It’s messy, loud, and unpolished—but that’s exactly why it works. The band hails from the US, and their sound screams raw energy. Tracks like “Live Riot At The Famous Purple Onion” and “Porno Holocaust (Tributo A Joe D’Amato)” are unforgettable for different reasons. Let’s break it down. “Live Riot At The Famous Purple Onion” kicks things off with all the chaos of an actual live show. You can practically hear the crowd shouting over the guitars, and the whole thing feels more like a party than a recording session. It’s not perfect—it’s got clunky moments, feedback squeals, and someone yelling something unintelligible halfway through—but that’s what makes it so damn fun. This isn’t about studio polish; it’s about capturing lightning in a bottle. Listening to it, I could almost smell the stale beer and cigarette smoke wafting through the air. Then there’s “Porno Holocaust (Tributo A Joe D’Amato).” Now, how do you even start describing this one? The title alone grabs your attention, but the track itself delivers sleazy riffs and a tongue-in-cheek vibe that perfectly matches its outrageous name. It’s trashy, sure, but in the best possible way. Like watching a midnight B-movie while headbanging to gritty guitar solos. If you’ve ever wanted a song that sounds like a Tarantino flick turned into music, this might be it. Other standouts include “It’s Good To Be The King,” which has this swaggering, cocky attitude that sticks with you, and “Cocaine,” which brings the frenetic pace of punk without losing the heaviness of hard rock. And hey, if you’re into quirky little additions, the KUSF radio spots sprinkled throughout give the album a cool lo-fi charm. What really sets Rock Roll Holocaust apart is its refusal to take itself too seriously. These guys aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel—they’re just having a blast playing loud, dirty rock ‘n’ roll. Sure, some tracks feel repetitive, and yeah, the production quality dips here and there, but honestly? That adds to the charm. It’s like finding a dusty old vinyl at a thrift store—imperfect, but full of character. Reflecting on this album, I couldn’t help but think: man, wouldn’t it be wild to catch The Jack Saints live back in the day? They seem like the kind of band that’d leave you sweaty, hoarse, and grinning ear-to-ear after a set. But beyond that, Rock Roll Holocaust reminds me of something important—music doesn’t always need to be polished or groundbreaking to matter. Sometimes, it just needs to rip, roar, and remind you to have a good time. Oh, and random thought: whoever came up with the phrase “Stretchmarks & Crowsfeet” deserves a medal. Just saying.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The album *Rock Roll Holocaust* by The Jack Saints is a wild ride through raw, unfiltered rock. Released in 2000, it blends garage rock, punk, and hard rock into one chaotic package. One standout track, "Porno Holocaust," is actually a tribute to Joe D'Amato, the Italian B-movie director known for his cult horror films. It’s like the band decided to mix their love for gritty rock with a nod to grindhouse cinema. And get this—they even threw in live recordings and radio spots, making the whole thing feel like a snapshot of their rebellious energy at the time. Definitely not your average rock album!
