Every once in a while a new band kicks up a huge buzz, and more often than not the excitement is over before the dust even settles. A Rebel Few is poised to be the exception to the rule. The Cambridge, Ontario based quartet is turning heads for good reason—they speak, through their music—as a voice for a generation tired of insubstantial, lackluster bands more focused on trends and image than riffs and melody.

0 Three Songs And Out – A Rebel Few – As The Crow Flies
‘As The Crow Flies’ has masses of appeal… It is fun and offers up some brilliant songs. There is nothing here that feels particularly “filler”, with each song a strong contender for a single release. The album has massive replay value and that is exactly what I intend to do.
Now get your asses over to the UK so we can see you live!

0 JP’s Music Blog – Record Journal – CD Review: New Heavy Metal Music Arriving From Rising Canadian & U.S. Bands – Eohum, The Mountain Man, The Decoys, A Rebel Few, Demise of The Crown, Raheumets Well
http://jpsmusicblog.blogspot.ca/2016/03/cd-review-new-heavy-metal-music.html
Eohum – “Eurocide” as screams and quick, technical drumming take over the marching rhythm fueled by buzzsaw guitar riffs.”
The Mountain Man – “Open Graves” is a thunderous, head-banging juggernaut of power.”
The Decoys – “Their sound reflects the honest tones of Neil Young and Tom Petty, with a youthful, hunger for success.”
A Rebel Few – “It features nine speaker-shaking numbers that incorporate some of the greatest guitar riffs of the last five years.Beginning with “Born Again,” the band hits the perfect power chords to grab your attention. Continuing with the intense rhythm of “Rebel Few” and the chugging guitars of “Dyin’ Breed,” A Rebel Few keep their foot on the gas. They close their new nine-song release with the Black Sabbath-like riff of “Bitter Man” and vicious attack of “Pure Revolution”.”
Demise of The Crown – “Their new seven-song release hits you with a blast of energy right from the opening riffs of “We Are Invincible.” They quicken the pace and let out the screams for “Human Denial,” before showcasing their instrumental skills on the intense build-up of “Don’t Worry”.”
Rapheumets Well – “The thunderous march of “Crucible Of Titans” and the epic, prog-metal appeal of “Resurgence” showcases the amazing depth in this band’s musical repertoire.”

“It’s about not putting too much energy and stock into the negative energies that surround people… and knowing your value and the value of those who want you because of simply who you are, nothing more… it’s a revolution in thought and action towards the ones that underestimate… once we find ourselves, were all a force to be reckoned with and it’s up to us to show them what we got.”

About:
Cambridge, ON’s A REBEL FEW follow a simple motto.
“They’re not “making waves in the scene” … They’re not “from the ashes”… They’re not “creating a sound for the generation”…They’re a straight ahead no nonsense Rock n Roll band! If you dig music that you can be a part of … and a live show that isn’t 4 guys staring at their shoes, then they are a band for you!! What lives in them, lives in you … together WE are all A REBEL FEW”
That motto comes from a band philosophy that as individuals, we’ve all dealt with the feelings of not belonging or fitting into the status quo.
“We’ve always been seen as the black sheep and proud of it because we never liked the notion of simply conforming to what society has had us believe to be “normal”. A Rebel Few is badge for all those who feel abandoned by societies “standards” and are looking for refuge. A place where they belong and find strength in like minded souls.” says vocalist Chris Raposo.

Raposo, the main lyric writer says “My lyrics mostly stem from a childhood of being shunned for not adhering to what everyone saw as normal and being persecuted for simply being who I was. The music has always been my therapist.”
As lead by example with the group’s single Rebel Few, a song about unity and belonging. Overall the album has a message of “Don’t let anything or anyone tell you can’t achieve what you want to, be who you are despite what others think you should be and don’t change who you are just to appease the masses.”

Vocalist Chris Raposo comments on the track:
“The track A Rebel Few is I’d say a great example of who we are musically as a band. Heavy guitars, thunderous bottom end, “Sabbath”esque grooves and a memorable melody that gets stuck in your head all day. Above and beyond, this song is about unity and finding a place where you belong. Our hope with this track is that everyone gets lost in the riffs and the grooves to feel the vibe of A REBEL FEW. Plus most importantly they get an understanding of who we are and connect with us on a deeper level. If you’re driven by integrity, respect and trust then we welcome you to the family!”
