San Diego's Reason To Rebel has gained critical and commercial success since their 2005 debut "The Politrix". Their fourth release "Movement of Clarity" features their diverse melding of guitar-heavy riffs, bombastic beats and politically-charged lyrics. The new release also features guest musicians Ikey Owens of The Mars Volta and Brent Hinds of Mastodon. Touring relentlessly (recently doing support for Incubus) and writing constantly has insured a long, brilliant journey for the band so far.

They recently electrified the crowd at the Mountain Stomp Music Festival in Oregon. Their latest release "Hillybilly Roundhouse" meshes acoustic-laced anarchy and foot-stomping rhythms to create a honky-tonk concoction of epic proportions.

Black Delany has been serving up hot punk rock tastiness since 2006. Armed with a relentless DIY ethic and skanking melodies, the band has become a mainstay in the regional scene. Mind-numbing bass work, thrashing beats and hot tele-guitar licks combine to create a gumbo of madness.
