Rebelation -
Rebalation are a 10 piece outfit with a powerful horn section and a smooth brand of authentic ska and rootsy reggae. Born in late 1994, their initial sound was heavily influenced by the likes of The Clash, Specials and The Beat, plus Jah Shaka and the other big English dub reggae sound systems of the time. Through the passage of time and with many line up 'developments', the sound is more refined and authentic. Their traditional Ska is influenced by the Skatalites and the like, whilst the reggae and rocksteady sound is influenced by the Treasure Isle and Studio 1 stable of the late sixties/early seventies. That said, the influence of the modern Jamaican sound is present and Rebelation do not consider themselves as a revival or retro band but as a modernist and progressor of the reggae sound.
