Band Spotlight: The Rabble

Band Spotlight: The Rabble

The Rabble is a straight up punk rock band from New Zealand founded by three dudes who set out to prove their country has more to offer than beautiful scenery.  Brothers Chazz, Rupe and their friend Jamie formed the band in 2001 and have since released an EP and two full-length albums.

The Rabble is a straight up punk rock band from New Zealand founded by three dudes who set out to prove their country has more to offer than beautiful scenery.  Brothers Chazz, Rupe and their friend Jamie formed the band in 2001 and have since released an EP and two full-length albums. Unlike a lot of bands today, you won’t find filler songs on a single Rabble release. Each song is irresistible and jam packed with energy and passion but the band’s talent is best showcased by the level of diversity in their sound. They have fury driven street punk songs, Celtic influenced tunes and soulful Punk Rock anthems that will grab your attention and leave you begging for more. I can honestly say that I haven’t felt this delighted about a band since I first heard the Bouncing Souls. It’s bands like this that remind me what got me into punk rock in the first place – good times and great tunes! If you aren’t familiar with this band yet do yourself a favor and visit their MySpace.

Tampa’s Christian metalcore group Underoath has album #7 well underway. So underway, in fact, that rumor has it that a tracklisting is somewhere on the internet. After travelling on over to trusty ol’ Wikipedia, I managed to find said tracklisting, and you can see it here. What we’ve got are 11 songs, and these are without original drummer Aaron Gillespie (but with ex-Norma Jean drummer Daniel Davison instead).

Ø (Disambiguation) is due out 9 November 2010 on Roadrunner Records and is a follow-up to their 2008 release, Lost In The Sounds Of Separation.

Why did they choose the name My Chemical Romance?

Why did they choose the name My Chemical Romance?

Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names?  Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it.  We’re hitting the streets (aka. “Internet”) to find the origins behind some of the more bizarre, intriguing or just plain random band names in the scene.  Every Wednesday we’ll be […]

Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names?  Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it.  We’re hitting the streets (aka. “Internet”) to find the origins behind some of the more bizarre, intriguing or just plain random band names in the scene.  Every Wednesday we’ll be pulling the curtain back on a different band and this week it’s punk gone mega rock group My Chemical Romance.

This one seemed appropriate today since the first track of the band’s upcoming album was just leaked.  According to legend (read: the internet) the name of the band was suggested by bass guitarist Mikey Way, younger brother of lead singer Gerard, who was working in a library when he was struck by the title of a book named “Ecstacy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance”.  The phrase “Chemical Romance” really resonated with him and band name history was soon born…
