About Dazzle Rebel

Nottingham-based Dazzle Rebel’s brazen musical creations exist outside conventional time and space. Part avant-garde songsmith twisting together elements of Punk, Alternative Rock and Power Pop and part Renaissance songwriter with compelling yet often off-beat lyrics. He tells stories filled with social commentary, political satire, heartfelt introspection and a healthy dose of dark humour. It’s a sound from an alternative dimension where David Bowie was a Punk, Ian Dury a greasy Hard Rocker and Lemmy a Funk Soul Brother.

His music has drawn comparisons to contemporary acts such as Yard Act, Home Counties, The Bug Club, Bag of Cans, Warmduscher & Viagra Boys, and legendary artists such as Madness, The Blockheads, The Stranglers & Squeeze. Looking back while walking forward, he regards the noise made by alternative musicians in the 70s, 80s and 90s as a golden era of musical inspiration. His creative vision combines the old with the new, the payoff is a Gonzo Rock sound that sits on the edge of modern music. This is Fringe Rock. This is Gonzo Punk. This is Post-Whatever!
