"The Americans said, 'What the fuck are you guys doing?' You're supposed to be Bush, and now you're trying to be Devo!"
Garret 'Jacknife' Lee has precious few regrets about failing to become a rock star. One of the world's most in-demand studio technicians, his star-studded CV includes producer credits on albums by U2, R.E.M. and Snow Patrol, co-writing credits on songs by Taylor Swift, One Direction and Robbie Williams, plus remixes for Radiohead, Pink, Bjork, Missy Elliott... oh, and The Beatles and Elvis Presley. So you can understand why the Dubliner isn't too troubled by the fact that his former band Compulsion - rounded out by Josephmary (vocals), Sid Rainey (bass), and Jan Alkema (drums) - didn't set the world on fire.
