| SIGN UP FOR OUR MAILING LIST! Enter your e-mail address and stay updated. Punk Rock has come a long way since it’s inception in the mid-to-late 70’s. While the original punk bands varied somewhat in terms of sound, they were united in their uncompromising attitude, do-it-yourself ethos and a sonic attack that prized energy and passion over technical skill. These days, the meaning of the words Punk Rock are not as clear. High-energy pop bands with stylist-created spiky hair masquerade as punk, but crack through the perfectly groomed exterior and you’ll see it’s all bubble-gum on the inside - just one choreographed step away from the boy bands of the 90’s. On the other end of the spectrum are bands that wave the punk banner proudly - sincere, hard-edged and true to punk’s original attitudes. They’ve got the dedication and energy, but too often sacrifice melody and hooks in the pursuit of "punk purity". Enter Rehab For Quitters, the perfect antidote for disillusioned punk rock fans who are tired of bubble-gum pop cynically marketed as rebellion. They hit the scene with a loud, fast and aggressive sound with plenty of hooks and memorable sing-along choruses. Their stripped-down guitar, bass and drum attack combines ferocity and technical skill. Rock N Roll in its purest form with an in your face punk edge. Having formed around 2003 in Toronto, Rehab For Quitters quickly set about to make a loud impression on the local scene by playing dozens of shows in and out of Toronto, including gigs at the Big Bop, El Macombo, Lees Palace, Club 279, the open aired public Yonge & Dundas Square, The Molson Indy yearly auto racing event, and even opening for major acts such as The Dickies, Agent Orange and The Misfits. Picking up an impressive fan base along the way. Their sold out 6-song demo EP, Leave ’Em Wanting More, proved to be a good indication of their strengths as a band. It was fast, loud, uncompromising Rock and Roll, with lyrics that run with gamut from heartfelt to humorous to in-your-face aggression. While the influence of bands such as The Misfits, Social Distortion and the Ramones can be heard, they have not been afraid to branch out and shades of 60’s vocal groups like the Shangri-Las can be heard in tracks like Punk Rock Girl. Don’t miss them if they play live near you. "you never go home bummed after a Rehab for Quitters show". |
