Compulsion Tickets

Compulsion is the Dublin-originated indie/alternative rock project that began life in 1990 as Thee Amazing Colossal Men. Following a Virgin Records lawsuit settlement, the group adopted the name Compulsion and carved out a distinct place in the UK and US indie scenes. Led by vocalist Josephmary and featuring notable guitarist Garret Lee (aka Jacknife Lee), bassist Sid Rainey, and drummer Jan-Willem Alkema, the band built a reputation for sharp hooks, dynamic performances, and a fearless approach to rock's boundaries.

From their early flexibilities on major labels in the U.K. and U.S. to their enduring influence on the Irish and international indie scenes, Compulsion remains a reference point for fans of 90s alternative rock. As they continue to engage with audiences through reissues and ongoing social channels, there’s never been a better time to explore their catalog and future live appearances.

Discography highlights include the two studio albums Comforter (1994) and The Future Is Medium (1996), both associated with One Little Indian/One Little Independent Records. The UK Singles Chart saw a peak for the Mall Monarchy EP at No. 87 in March 1994, signaling their crossover appeal. In addition to studio work, Compulsion has released compilations like Hi-Fi (1995) and I Like Compulsion and Compulsion Likes Me (2002). In 2025, One Little Independent Records has reissued Comforter and The Future Is Medium, bringing new and old fans closer to their classic sounds.
