Rebel Punk Album Review - Self Titled
   Rebel Punk, what can I say! If you got some time and a beer in your corner then I can explain this band to you! I am the girl your mom never told you about; so bring on the whisky, and let’s dive into this album.  Rebel Punk calls you out in front of the town’s people and aims for a straight shot for your heart singing about tattered love, relationships, and Life’s lesson.

 This album is straight forward American Rock n Roll with Punk smeared all over your face like a make out session the night before. It’s a well produced Lp; 13 power house songs of scruffy sing-a-long vocals with great harmonies fading out in the background. During this whole album, the light never goes out with the guitars ramping up with the bass and drums like a dance of rock n roll meditation. It’s a mix of power chords,  and lead guitar navigating  through a frat party with a army of beats in a power pop punk world with old feels of Social Distortion, Elvis, and sing a long harmonies of MXPX slamming a 8 ball back in the 90s when that shit use to be cool.  On track 8: “What I am looking for” is one of my favorite hands down. It starts off with an acoustic guitar pairing with an Elvis inspired vocal track that electrifies itself into a heavy guitar and drums carrying the weight of the band the whole song. Track 12- “I left her crying” I gotta say wow! This song blew me away. . Somewhere between the vocal harmonies and the fully charged drums it all clicks and melts together in punk rock fashion.   It’s a great song where it really shows off the band’s talent. All the members of the band are seasoned veterans that have been playing music and supporting the scene before you could order this girl a shot of whiskey!  Rebel Punk is your straight up greaser punks with a switch blade ready to ramble in some rock n roll. Oddly, enough now I want to go watch “Another State of Mind” and drool over Mike Ness!
