The Rebels formed in the rain-sodden summer of 2005, and honed a sound borne from their inherent Britishness and nostalgic musical persuasions. Think 80s indie hailing from our fair isle and you're edging closer. These boys don't sing about life under the Iron Lady, but they certainly cast a nod towards the echoes of time gone by.
Young Soul Rebels are no 80s throwbacks however. Sure, Dexy's may have been searching for them, but they bring a safe sound to a new era and make it sound brand new. A self-confessed punk/indie hybrid - too much of one to be the other - the seaside quartet pose melancholy musings overlaying jangly guitars which leak undiluted energy.
