Alabama 3 – Woke Up This Morning (Sopranos Theme)

This classic track will be best known as the theme to the hit TV series, The Sopranos. It’s one of those songs that has it all, pace, rhythm, great instrumentals and lyrics. Amazingly, Alabama 3 are an English band founded in Brixton in 1995. Who’da thunk it? Rebel Voice recommends listening to this song whilst […]

First Crusade – Part 2 – A Christian Folly?

The Crusades were a sustained campaign over many years, by (pseudo-) Christian Europe, in which attempts were made to regain control of the Holy Lands for the benefit of the Church of Rome. These armed endeavours met with mixed results, but ultimately failed. The conflicts did, however, sow the seeds of both distrust and resentment […]

Permission Denied: Palestinian Children Struggle To Receive Medical Treatment

The tragic circumstances of Palestine are well documented by this time. There are reports, news articles, films and documentaries. Yet still the brutality of the Israeli regime persists unabated. The age group in Palestine that suffers the greatest ordeal is that of the children. Today, the children of Palestine are being continually traumatised by the […]

Neon Prey by John Sandford (2019) US Marshal Lucas Davenport is back in the latest blockbuster from the pen of John Sandford (John Roswell Camp).

First Aid Kit – My Silver Lining (Country/Folk)

Upon first hearing this wonderful song, Rebel Voice was convinced that it was performed by a Texan country band of tremendous talent. But no, wrong, terribly wrong. First Aid Kit are a Swedish duo of tremendous talent consisting of sisters, Klara and Johanna Söderberg. They sing like they are from Texas though; tut, tut, girls, […]

Top 20 Iconic Horror Movie Masks

It’s perhaps of concern that so many people like to dress up as horror villains and wear masks associated with evil intent. Halloween must be a psychologist’s wet dream. We, the people, like to become the bad guy, if only in our fevered imaginations. We become Michael Myers, Leatherface and Freddie Kruger, giving little thought […]

Hard Chat – Comedy Roast With James Blunt And Tom Gleeson

In this clip, we get to see James Blunt as he is roasted by Australian comedian, Tom Gleeson, who did a great parody of Blunt’s hit, ‘You’re Beautiful’. During his interview, the English crooner, who was a Captain in the British Army (Life Guards) gives almost as good as he gets. Rebel Voice enjoys those […]

An Irishman’s Diary – Day 3

The weather in Ireland can be as changeable as a three-year-old’s favourite colour. We can get four seasons in a day and it plays havoc with the wardrobe. Summer is an especially crazy time. Chilly in the morning, then warm to the point of t-shirts and shorts. It might rain then with torrential determination before […]

Altan – Dúlaman (Irish Traditional)

Altan are primarily a Tír Chonaill (Donegal) band with one of the founders, Frankie Kennedy, hailing from Béal Feirste (Belfast). They are a traditional music group but with great versatility.

The Pharaoh Key – Preston & Child Thriller

The Pharaoh Key by Preston & Child (2018) Having recently finished another Preston & Child story titled ‘Beyond the Ice Limit‘, Rebel Voice decided to give the pair another chance to redeem themselves. Big mistake. The Pharaoh Key is more of the same, only even more cliched. Gideon Crew is into the last few months […]

Jewish Anti-Zionist Speaks Out Against Israel

In the ongoing struggle for the rights of the Palestinian people to live in peace and equality, the enemies of such noble aims regularly attempt to portray the search for justice in Palestine as somehow anti-Jewish or, even more inaccurately, anti-Semitic. This sickening approach by apologists for the Israeli death machine ignores the fact that […]
