Pretty Reckless are from New York, New York, so good they named it twice. They formed in 2009. The strong vocals you hear are Taylor Momsen, a voice with attitude. This song featured at the end credits for the bodacious movie, Kick Ass, probably the greatest superhero movie ever made. It’s about as solid a […]
Into The Wild was a movie released in 2007 to widespread acclaim. It was written, co-produced and directed by Sean Penn and centres around the life of Christopher McCandless, a young man from the USA who became disillusioned with mainstream society and decided to drop out. His subsequent travels touched the lives of many, as […]
Tito & Tarantula are a Hollywood based Chicano rock band. They are best known for providing music for the classic vampire movie, From Dusk Til Dawn, starring George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette Lewis and Harvey Keitel, in which they had a cameo role as a vampire house-band. Rebel Voice likes to throw shapes to this […]
Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam fame might just be one of the coolest people on the planet. He’s up there with Kris Kristofferson, Che Guevara and auld Paddy Donnelly who works at the gardening round our way. In 2007, Vedder released his first solo album titled Into The Wild, which was the soundtrack for the […]
It’s The Who. What more needs to be said about a group who are possibly the greatest rock band of all time. As you might have noticed, Rebel Voice is a big fan of this English musical ensemble. Waters et al were ahead of their time with their compositions, and still manage to be relevant […]
Here’s a pro-Palestine song from an English punk band of yesteryear. Even punks back then knew the truth. Shows just how little Dirty Harry Callaghan really knew. Enjoy this? Why not share?

This haunting ballad is a firm favourite with folkies the world over, especially in Ireland. It tells of the horror of a young Australian man who enlists in the military and is sent to fight in the First World War, only to suffer horrifically in the slaughter that took place at Suvla Bay in Turkey […]
Here’s another hit from the successful and ever-popular children’s musical, Bugsy Malone. This has to be one of the most under-rated musicals in history. The soundtrack is a knock-out and manages to incorporate adult themes into a movie featuring only child actors. In this song and scene, we are reminded that tomorrow’s another day. We […]
The last line in this wonderful Irish song is “The Hunger Strikes have started”. It’s not often you get to hear references to one of the most tumultuous times in Irish history mentioned in a modern folk song. Bubblegum is a nostalgically emotive ballad that tells of one girl’s experiences of 1981. It was written […]
Here’s a bit of cultural beauty in a musical format. As you will know, Rebel Voice is a very sophisticated media outlet. We play classic tracks that are timeless in their creativity and kindness of heart. Whether it’s The Pogues or Metallica or The Foo Fighters, we take our standards very seriously. With this in […]
Now Rebel Voice is well aware that this is not the most catchy title for an article you will ever see. Cypress Hill and scientific experiments? They must mean a new type of drug, surely? Nope to dope. This science is full-on geekdom. Marine biologists at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory were curious about […]
