Austin-based band, Red and the Rebels have released their self-titled debut album and they’re already showing signs of a very promising career in the world of music. If there’s anything that this band is proving so far, it’s that they’re gonna take the rock world by storm.
Each song displays elements of a 70’s rock ‘n’ roll sound and the first track, “Blue” gives a mental image of driving down the California coast. Not only that, there are also hints of Americana and Folk in some of the songs as well (such as “6th & Main”), which makes the songs especially memorable.
The folk and Americana sound brings in the kind of vibe that just makes you want to relive the 70’s, go to a rock concert and maybe pull a Stevie Nicks and twirl around a little bit. I wonder if you can actually do that at a Red & The Rebels show? Hmm, most likely.
Throughout the album, lead singer Deidre Rodriguez displays some strong vocals. Her sound is very reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks and also a little bit of Kate Bush. Some of her strongest vocal moments come from “6th & Main”, “Woman (Of The World)”, “Lilith’s Fair” and “Golden Hour”.
She’s nothing short of a rock ‘n’ roll powerhouse and is displaying the beauty of the music through her remarkable sound. She has that soul and power that makes us all remember why we love rock ‘n’ roll the way that we do.
This is one of those albums where each song gets better and better. It also is one of those albums that makes you only want more and more of the music from the band. Whatever this band may do, they’re gonna do it very well.
Ladies and Gentlemen, be on the lookout for Red & The Rebels because they’re going to be selling out stadiums one day.
