The Rebel Dead play loud, fast punk rock. Taking influences from 50?s rock and roll, rockabilly, as well as bands like The Heartdrops, The Clash, Social Distortion and Husker Du ? they always entertain and leave their crowds yelling for more.
As far as rock-n-roll. Rockabilly-ish music goes, Rebel Dead have this shit down to a science. The guitars sound lean, sharp, and powerful; the vocals are better controlled than ever before; and the drums have a tight snap that suits both the punkier songs as well as the slower, blusier tunes. I'm not a huge rockabilly guy, but if I was Rebel Dead would probably be one of my favorite bands of all time. The band tears through a fair share of rollicking, straight-ahead hard rock with songs like "I Got It Bad" and "Break Me Down" but they also show a reflective, heartfelt, country-inspired side with songs like "Bottomed Out" and not to forget the blue collar classic, "Cheers, Fuck Face"(the best title on the album). If your girlfriend looks like a pin up girl or your boyfriend's idol is Mike Ness, this album is a must have for your collection. Otherwise regular listeners to Rockabilly or fans of bar room gang vocal rock songs will more than likely enjoy this album.
