'A Funky Battalion' w/ Vibrant Rebels

from You Call That Radio? · host Mark McG

we introduce you to yer new favourite festival band, Vibrant Rebels. by giving an exclusive first play of their first ever recordings during their first ever podcast interview. They are a 10 piece battlaion of funk, soul, hip hop and ska and played their debut gig at Leith Arches this week. I have been a fan of their work from previous monikers and the new material has blown me away. Expect big things, you literally heard them here first. We disuss the logistical nightmare of having so many band members, how the dawn of A.I music could be a good thing for average looking and badly produced artists,  Oz talks about his experience of moving from backing tracks to full brass section, there is discussions about A.I, Russell Brand, toxic positivity, tiny microphones, mysterious drummers, robot effigys , finding another word for short term content, the death of the album, how to break into the festival scene and much, much more. Their next gig is is at East Linton Community Hall on June 6th.
