You want Rock ‘N’ Roll? You want REBELMANN!

by Joshua (J.Smo) Smotherman October 13, 2015 12:36 pm Tagged With: Chicago, classic rock, Illinois, Rock, United States

REBELMANN

Their sound is HUGE…and all 3 members are teens. Full of ambition and killer musicianship, this trio is the spirit of classic, arena rock reincarnate. Jonathan, Bryce […]

As the collective attention span shrinks, Eddie Canyon finds himself searching for meaning within the noise. Reaching into and around his Arkansas roots, Eddie carves a distinctively southern Hip Hop undercurrent in his exploratory approach to music. Weaving tales of battling addiction, thoughts on spirituality, and irreverent social commentary into his lyrics, Eddie aims to intrigue his audience at the least, and at most, leave them with a liberating degree of thoughtfulness. In his own words: “The Matrix is real, but there’s a way out.” Support on Spotify or Bandcamp.
