MP3: The Rebellion - Dr. Don't
On Tuesday, December 29, Thorny Bleeder Records releases Time, the remixed and remastered debut album from The Rebellion. The album features the first single Dr. Don’t.
To some, Josh Palmer may look familiar to you. Palmer is a former Canadian Idol contestant from 2005. In just over a decade, Palmer has gone from child prodigy to Canadian celebrity. He toured across the nation from coast to coast by the time he was 17, released independent solo albums, and was watched by 3.5 million people each week on Canadian Idol. But after leaving the Canadian Idol stage, Palmer was frustrated with not being able to showcase himself as a real artist.
Rather than continue on the course of doing another solo album, Palmer decided it was time to start a new band. He recruited Romanian multi-instrumentalist Silviu Moldovan on guitar, Congolese percussionist Christian Kongawi on drums, and Ryan Schultz on bass.
Their music isn’t what you expect from an ex-Idol, creating lush mixes and instrumentation that are of epic proportions. From sugary- sweet, pop melodies to explosive guitars filled with anguish, the spirit of The Rebellion goes deeper than one might expect. The raw emotions in their music hit home, being both universal and personal in its appeal. Their music shocks and surprises, creating a wall of accomplished sound that you'd never expect to emerge from the Canadian Prairies.
The Rebellion will be touring Canada throughout much of the Winter and Spring in 2010, including a showcase in Toronto during Canadian Music Week.
