===================================
The Rabble have just released their debut album 'No Clue, No Future' - available from Real Groovy nationwide and Mango Music in Palmerston North.
Single 'CARRY ON' playing on television and radio throughout New Zealand. Contact your local radio and tv stations to request the song!!!
isn't it because someone said that one of your band influences was creed? And that's how you're judged around here... by the music you're in to.
jesus... i started the thread in dedication of tomorrow comes in silence but ok then
another awesome band on myspace is the rabble
haha weird mix...
looking forward to seeing tomorrow comes in silence first show!
their videos are quite good though.... and their songs are catchy as
I like listening to kiwi fm. It's not something I'll always have on.... but i like listening to bands from here rather than the american crap we have on other radio stations.
Yeah they've been around for a few years, yet they're still only 17, 18, 19 - I don't think because they've been around and playing gigs for so many years works to their disadvantage. When listening to the songs from when they first started, their songs were all fast, all yelling and that's cool if you're in to that.... but as they've matured, the variety in their songs have matured as well. Also, the original line up of the band has changed since they first started.... as new members joined the band, new influences were brought in to the song writing. "Carry On", the song which got the funding is one of their slower love songs and features a mandolin. They would never have done anything like that 2 years a go....
Yes, the band have been around for years... but only now, they are starting to be noticed by a wider audience. Because the scene they were playing in 2 years a go is different to the shows they're doing now... and because the band is still a young band, they're still considered to be a fresh new band.
There's definitly melody in there. I could notate the vocals and it could be played on any instrument. I love the rabble but can't do the whole shouting thing that Chazz and Rupe do, so I sing or hum the tunes. So long as there's some sort of catchiness in there... it's likable... whether it's sang, screamed or yelled.
The rabble are probably one of the more extreme bands to get funding, like the bleeders... But I think that's what kids want. They want to hear something extreme, they want to see a band who look extreme... and when they find they're nice guys too then they can relate to that. They want to know you can dress however you want and still be whoever you want. Just because you listen to angry punk, doesn't mean you're an angry person who sleeps in the gutter, and doesn't shower.
// if funding is aimed at commercial success then what the frick are they doing getting funding?
hmmm if you went to any of their all ages shows and heard the songs, you'd hear they're as commercial and have potential to be huge. The songs are as catchy as any artist played on zm or the edge... only with an edgy approach
congrats to the rabble on getting a grant
hard work pays off after all....
i'm sure if the christchurch/dunedin artists were playing around nz, they'd be just as likely to get a grant as some of the auckland or wellington artists.
auckland is the largest city in nz.... more people go to the gigs.... more people hear about you.... you have more profile etc
it makes sense if more auckland bands get the grants over the timaru bands who play covers at the local pub every friday night after the rugby
what the fuck are you on about
