ROOTS ROCK REBEL

"Peacetime echoes thru the DC nite

About Me



"...but it was Four Tops all night,
with encores from stage right,
charges in the bass, knives in the treble,
but onstage they aint got no roots rock rebel,
on stage they aint no ROOTS ROCK REBEL..."
- White Man In Hammersmith Palais, The CLASH.

Balancing a stark diversity of influences such as The Clash, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, Dick Dale, X, the Ramones just to name a few, Roots Rock Rebel have developed a unique style they can truly call their own. Clever lyrics, solid harmonies, loud, melodic, driving guitars and a thunderous back beat combine seamlessly to make political observations, tell stories and even the occasional spurned love lament. These guys are serious and every power chord proves it.
