Chicago metal mainstay Greg Fulton (ZNOWHITE, CYCLONE TEMPLE) has joined forces with former Znowhite drummer Tony Heath to form REBELS WITHOUT APPLAUSE.
The band is scheduled to release their debut album Low End Head Stomp April 21st via EMA/Polydisc with a full-scale digital roll-out. Mark Alano (guitar) and Kirk Behrendt (bass) join Fulton (guitar/vocals) and Heath (drums) in rounding out the line-up.
Low End Head Stomp track listing: ‘My Success’, ‘Rain Or Shine’. ‘Weak’, ‘Someday’, ‘Sublime’, ‘Shallow Genius’, ‘Paperthin’, ‘Chalkline’, ‘I Don't Wanna Know’ and ‘Shout Outs’.
Rebels Without Applause played alongside such bands as MUDVAYNE, SOIL, DISTURBED, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, SHADOWS FALL, STONE SOUR LACUNA COIL, STUCK MOJO and BAD BRAINS among many.
The band released an EP in 1998 called ‘Rip-Hop, Soulcore, Crush’. Their full-length debut, ‘Low End Head Stomp’ features a thick roux of crunch and heaviness with added dashes of big grooves and soulful melodies to make a potent metal gumbo.
