“We’re Screamin’ Rebel Angels, are you ready for some fun?”

Those that have witnessed the live performances of Screamin’ Rebel Angels are immediately thunderstruck by the fiery redhead ricocheting around the stage, Gretsch in hand, with satin and gravel in her voice. Those new to the band are stunned by the power and energy of the group, as if witnessing the resurrection of rock and roll, stirring within them the raw, primitive passions which first electrified audiences at the genre’s inception.

They are a force that has been igniting a musical blaze around the worldwide roots rock ‘n roll scene, and gaining a momentum that is cementing their unmistakable sound and authenticity -which is pure Rock ‘n Roll Revival.
Screamin’ Rebel Angels are a Rock ‘n Roll foursome hailing from Brooklyn, NY. Fronted by the dynamic soul-shouting, blues beltin’, sweet purring of vocalist / guitarist Laura Rebel Angel, paired with the blistering, stratospheric lead guitar of Brian “Bobo” Hack, the pounding and precise drums of Sean O’Connell and the driving rhythm and gallop of an upright bass. Their head-turning, jaw-dropping performances are untamed adventures that invoke the primitive energy of early Rock ‘n Roll and Rockabilly, and emotion of 1950s Rhythm & Blues and Soul.

While Screamin’ Rebel Angels have only been playing together for less than three years, their sound is one that is both rooted in an unmistakable familiarity while projecting the notion you’re witnessing something wholly new and authentic. Their roots and comparisons come as varied as their influences, from the iconic Etta James, Little Richard, Django Reinhardt and Carl Perkins to The Cramps, The Ramones and The Clash. This fearsome foursome hail from the rough urban grit of New York City, creating a unique foundation of old-school rock & roll songwriting and musical skill, combined with the rambunctious attitude of NYC Rock and Roll—raw, ravenous, loud and thrilling—as rock and roll was always MEANT to be.
