Whiskey Rebels

Whiskey Rebels

GMM

Whiskey Rebels offer some rather brilliant Sacramento street punk on their first album, not unlike fellow Oi! neighbors Pressure Point – with whom they share a couple of members. Vocalist Big Chuck – yeah… – is absolutely great fronting this scruffy, turbo-charged five-piece. Whiskey Rebels seem passionately furious about their subject matter – everyday life and misery, that is – and the mood runs through the entire album: it’s 16 gritty and raw-sounding tracks that laugh in the face of subtlety. Pressure Point may still be the better pick of the two, but Whiskey Rebels aren’t lagging too far behind. This is a fun and furious first album worth checking out for the drunk-punks out there.
