If I wanted to make the below video sound enticing, I could tell you it shows Lars Ulrich hanging out with opening act The Soul Rebels during a rehearsal for Metallica's thirtieth anniversary concert series at The Fillmore last year, or I could just show you this photo: So yeah a picture speaks a thousand words and [...]
I've been dreading the challenge of dumbing down my experience in Rothbury, Michigan this past weekend to paper; but, I've decided it's a noble cause at the very least and it's certainly going to be a personal mission of mine to convert as many people as possible into attendees for next year's festival. What Insomniac [...]

Hey there! You should read this original post on the hill by going here: Halifax Jazz Fest '12:: Soul Rebels My goodness, the Soul Rebels . Coming off our extended Canada Day long weekend, I was planning to kick off some coverage of this year's Halifax Jazz Festival ( which starts Thursday ) with a post on one of the shows I was most looking forward to ( Deltron 3030/Maestro/Skratch Bastid or Charles Bradley anyone?), but those plans got derailed once I read an email I somehow got sent about the [...]

The Souls Rebels' new album, Unlock Your Mind, will be released on January 31st. Overall the album isn't one I would listen to often due to the jam band style of most of the arrangments, but it's good for what it is. And the eight-piece ensemble's sizzling, swaying, big brass instrumental cover of The Eurythmics' [...]

The Soul Rebels have been tearing it up from coast to coast. The above image is from the North Coast Music Festival Labor Day weekend in Chicago. It is courtesy of Time Out magazine. They have a new album out in January on Rounder/Concord and are giving away some songs. The Sweet Dreams EP includes a killing cover of the Eurythmics' classic “Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This,” “504” featuring Trombone Shorty & Sean C and “Unlock Your Mind” featuring Cyril [...]
I first heard Soul Rebels Brass Band in David Simon’s excellent TV show Treme. The song was ‘Drinka Little Poison (4 U Die)’ – a typical example of chaotic, jubilant New Orleans jazz. As a result of this context, I admit I expected Unlock Your Mind to be more of the same, and while the band may play that style of music phenomenally, a whole album of it might get a little tiresome. However, I was surprised to find that the recording was slicker, the band was tighter and the album was one of the most [...]
