Rebel Soul Collective

About Me


Rebel Soul Collective have sculpted their sound drawing energy from bands like Primal Scream, Late of the Pier, the Rapture, Kasabian, TV on the Radio and the Go! Team. And in contrast to the lyrical banality of many contemporary artists, we pride ourselves in writing honest and unflinching songs drawn from personal experiences. This, coupled with the sound we have developed, makes for an exciting live sound with plenty of adrenaline that also translates to our recordings.
The current sound of the band would be best described as a mixture of electronic dance and swaggering rock and roll that maintains the tension between these genres. Our sound is varied yet cohesive, complex yet focused. Driven by different influences we all tap into our own tastes when bringing the music together. This way we can never become tiresome, repetitive or simplistic.
Since forming we've played all over the country, in places as exciting and culturally diverse as Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, London and Manchester, and played with some ace bands such as Detroit Social Club, Blah Blah Blah, This is Seb Clarke, the Old Romantic Killer Band and the Thirst.
