Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual.

Welcome aboard! Enjoy the show! This is for the peoples! Rock n roll will never die as long as we are all alive.The WOLFGANG REBELLION is Benjamin Oaks on vocals and guitar, Chris Macknis on drums, Ryan Naus on bass and guitar and Mike Nase on bass.Shout out to all the Dubcee Pirate Fam!The WOLFGANG REBELLION is a fresh music project that started in September 2007. Chris Macknis and Benjamin Oaks were rehearsing regularly as a live band to backup hiphop emcee BoomTheorie (aka Androidd869- The Warrior Poet). In November they started reworking old songs from when Chris and Ben were in the band The Killswitch (later Silence) and writing new material. Ben moved from bass back to guitar. They were then joined by Ryan Naus, who was in punk bands with Ben as a teenager.With old school rock n roll energy, a punk rock spirit, hiphop fun, ragga and r&b "riddim", The WOLFGANG REBELLION is a crowd favorite.
