Band name:
The Rebellion.
Where are you
from?
Stoke on Trent,
England.
Who is in your
band?
Danny Bowers
(Lead vocals), Andy Robinson (Bass), Pezz (Guitar) and Charlie Preston (Drums).
How would you
describe yourselves?
The Rebellion
are an indie rock funk punk fusion band.
Who are your
main influences musically?
Red Hot Chili
Peppers, Foo Fighters, The Who, The Killers, Feeder, Kings of Leon, James
Brown, Rolling Stones, The Wombats, The Verve, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Jimi
Hendrix – the list is endless.
What do you hope
to achieve in music?
As a band, our
main ambition currently is to get signed to a reputable label. We hope to hit
the studio very soon, get our six-track EP polished and ready for radio and
contact labels with a pro press kit! Ideally, we'd love to hit the big time (let’s
face it, what band doesn’t), but we are fully content with the opportunity to
play and spread our music!
What has been
the highlight of your career so far?
So far would be
landing a gig at Keele University as part of The gathering gig. We played to a
fantastic crowd and were filmed as part of a documentary on Stoke musicians and
the local music scene. We're also over the moon at landing a gig at the
Birmingham O2 Academy in may 2013!
And what has
been the moment to forget?
Turning up to a
gig and the guitarist fails to have a guitar. Always a bad moment, especially
when you have to plead with the headlining band to lend them their prized
Fender Telecaster. Awkward is not the word.
If you could
choose one song to represent your music, what would it be and why?
We'd have to
choose Reggae Disco Bitch for this one. Everything we are about
musically is incorporated into this song. Mad rap lyrics, slap bass and guitar
solos, alongside a miniature drum solo, it has everything! It’s usually the
song our local fans associate with us. It’s just fun to play and is influenced
by Danny's (singer) idol, Mick Jagger! Sadly we haven’t got this as a recording
yet, but it should be there very soon!
