REVIEW: REBELLION FESTIVAL 2019, WINTER GARDENS, BLACKPOOL, DAY FOUR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After three days of punk rock of all shapes and sizes, countless beers and indoor temperatures which wouldn\u2019t look out of place on the Costa del Sol, the end is in sight for another year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The last day of Rebellion Festival is always a bitter-sweet affair. Your feet hurt, your constitution can\u2019t take any more beer or another full English breakfast, and you know it\u2019s nearly over for another year, but there\u2019s loads more bands to see, merch to buy and friends to say hello and goodbye to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it\u2019s with a spring in our step that we head into the Empress Ballroom for the first band of the day, HANDS OFF GRETEL<\/strong>. Thankfully it\u2019s a bit cooler than it was last night, but the South Yorkshire four-piece do their best to change that with a lively set of grungy punk. Think L7 or Hole crossed with The Distillers and you\u2019re not far off the mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SNAKERATTLERS<\/strong>, from York, are making their Rebellion debut on the Arena stage, and pull a fair-sized crowd for such an early hour. Husband and wife duo Dan (guitar and vocals) and Naomi (drums) play an infectious brand of trash rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, and make quite an impact. As with most bands on this stage this weekend, the sound does them no favours, but I look forward to seeing them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stay in the Arena for a band who are completely new to me, FAT ALBERT<\/strong>. A three-piece based in Workington, Cumbria, they play old-school punk with a hint of Oi!, and I make a note to look up their stuff before I try to see them again \u2013 I find knowing at least one or two songs helps you enjoy a set more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HABITS<\/strong>, from Colwyn Bay, North Wales, are making an unholy racket in the Introducing room, their singer stripped to the waist, and I kind of like it \u2013 but not as much as the hardcore fans who are furiously moshing in front of the barely-there stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying in the same room, NOSEBLEED <\/strong>are a very different proposition, a no-frills rock \u2018n\u2019 roll band from Leeds who have an album out on TNS Records \u2013 usually a sure sign of quality. They\u2019re another group I\u2019d never heard before, but I\u2019ll be checking out their back catalogue on Bandcamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUEDE RAZORS<\/strong>, on the Empress stage, enter the same category. They came highly recommended by an Oi! fan from Amsterdam who\u2019s s<\/strong>taying at our B&B, and he wasn\u2019t wrong. They come from the San Francisco Bay area and a little research reveals they feature members of Harrington Saints, Hounds & Harlots and Sydney Ducks. Their hard-hitting streetpunk hits the spot nicely, but sadly I have to give the merch stand a miss, as funds are running low.<\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n\n\n\n

In the Casbah, I hear the\ndistinctive vocals of Dick Lucas as he performs for the third time in as many\ndays with his third different band.  This\ntime it\u2019s his ska-punk outfit CULTURE\nSHOCK<\/strong> who are on stage, rather than his anarcho band Subhumans, who played\non Friday, or Citizen Fish, who played Saturday. It\u2019s a welcome change of pace\nafter all the shouting \u2013 we\u2019ll have no shouting here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relative peace and quiet doesn\u2019t last long, as ROTTEN FOXES<\/strong>, a hardcore\/deathpunk band from Brighton,  are displaying lots of sweaty flesh in the increasingly oven-like Introducing stage. They\u2019ve giving it everything they\u2019ve got, but pale into comparison when compared to thrashcore outfit SVETLANAS<\/strong>, whose fearsome reputation has gone before them if the impressive mid-afternoon crowd in the Empress is anything to go by. Singer Olga is a force of nature, so intense she\u2019s actually a bit scary, and they can only go onwards and upwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time for a sit down and\nchange the pace again, which means a taste of the North East band ALTERNATIVE CARPETTES<\/strong> in the Opera\nHouse. A mix of Neil Thompson\u2019s former punk\/power-pop bands The Carpettes and\nThe Only Alternative, and more bands to look up properly when I get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE LIARBILITYS<\/strong>, down in the Arena, are another band who were\nasked back after debuting on the Introducing stage last year, and the\nfive-piece from Birmingham smashed it with a great set which ended with their\nbest song, Two Against One \u2013 an angry anthem for the underdog if there ever was\none!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hooray, hooray, it\u2019s Dirt\nBox Day! Sunday at Rebellion means it\u2019s time for DIRT BOX DISCO<\/strong>, who have gone from humble beginnings at my second\nfestival back in 2013 to filling whichever room you put them on in. This year\nthey\u2019re a teatime treat in the Casbah, and even without larger-than-life\nfrontman Weab.I.Am,, who left earlier this year, they remain a great band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

As main songwriter, and\nnow lead vocalist Spunk Volcano proclaimed: \u201cWe still are, and always will be,\nDirt Box Disco!\u201d  With newer tunes like\nJoyce\u2019s Voices added to fan favourites like Burning, Tragic Roundabout and My\nLife Is Shit, they\u2019re still enormous fun, even if this performance perhaps\ndidn\u2019t quite hit the heights of the last couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down in the Empress, THE CASUALTIES<\/strong> from New York City, are\nunleashing a storm of furious streetpunk, with new-ish frontman David Rodriguez\nstepping neatly into the shoes vacated by original frontman Jorge Herrera, who retired from touring a couple of\nyears ago. The band have been going nearly 30 years, and are showing no signs\nof letting up. Indeed, their high energy 45-minute set was hailed by some as the\nbest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ears suitably assaulted, I\nwas lured back into the Pavilion by some more tuneful sounds, which definitely\nweren\u2019t Cress, the band who were billed. I found out post-festival that they\nwere DESENSITISED<\/strong>, usually an\nall-girl trio from Nottingham, with Kyle from Hung Like Hanratty filling in for\ntheir absent drummer. I don\u2019t know if this was because regular drummer Claire\nwas unavailable, or because guitarist Libby and bassist Charlotte had played an\nacoustic set just a couple of hours before. Whatever, they were good fun, and\nwere one of the first bands I looked up when I got home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Staying in the Pavilion,\nup next are KID KLUMSY<\/strong>, who pull\nquite a crowd. If the singer looks familiar it\u2019s the previously-mentioned\nWeab.I.Am, formerly of Dirt Box Disco, but without the oversized onesie and sad\nclown make-up. They go down well, but for me they\u2019re not a patch on DBD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s past eight bells, and with the final run-in still to come, we head to the Opera house for a sit down and a few songs from John Otway. He\u2019s one of those curios who have been adopted by the punk crowd, and though his set is more comedy than music, it\u2019s an enjoyable interlude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suitably rested, it\u2019s back\nto the Empress Ballroom for one of the weekend\u2019s main attractions, THE SKIDS<\/strong>. This is the fourth time I\u2019ve\nseen them since they reconvened a couple of years ago, and if there\u2019s a better\nlive band around at the moment I haven\u2019t seen them. It\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s\n40 years since we fell under the spell of songs like The Saints Are Coming,\nMasquerade and Into the Valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

One part of the band is\nmissing, of course, original guitarist Stuart Adamson, who is sadly no longer\nwith us. The fact that it takes two men, dad and lad combo Bruce and Jamie\nWatson, to fill his shoes is testament to how good he was, and they make an\nexcellent job of it, clearly enjoying every minute on stage. Centre stage\nbelongs to frontman Richard Jobson, who dad-dances his way through their\nhour-long set, while leading the packed venue on a memorable journey through\ntheir youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, The Skids should\nhave headlined, as they did two years ago, but that honour was given to THE DAMNED<\/strong>. Now, I\u2019m about to commit punk\nrock heresy again here (remember my confession about The Stranglers?), and\nstate that I\u2019m not a huge fan of theirs. They\u2019ve got a few decent songs, but\nI\u2019ve never made it through a full show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

That\u2019s maybe my loss, but the\nfact they start by celebrating the 40th<\/sup> anniversary of their third\nalbum Machine Gun Etiquette isn\u2019t even enough to make me stay beyond the first\nthree songs, even though they include Love Song and I Just Can\u2019t Be Happy\nToday. They\u2019re punk cabaret to me, and I\u2019d rather see something I\u2019d never seen\nbefore than same old, same old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which leads us into a\nquick dodge into the Casbah for THE\nDWARVES<\/strong>. Formed in Chicago in the mid-80s, they became notorious for\nself-mutilation, and having sex and taking drugs on stage. Still centred around\ntwo core members, vocalist Blag Dahlia and wrestling-mask-wearing guitarist\nHeWhoCannotBeNamed, they seem to have cleaned up their act a bit, but left no\nimpression on me whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, in a last-ditch bid to wring one more band out of the weekend, we head to the Arena, to catch the last couple of songs by FRENZY<\/strong>, a psychobilly band who have been doing the rounds for years, but I\u2019ve never seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know the songs, but like the fact they\u2019re different to anything else I\u2019ve heard all weekend, which shows the diversity this festival has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And rather than just sticking with the tried and trusted, it meant more than half the 20 bands I saw today were new to me. And that\u2019s why I hope Rebellion Festival will not only survive, but thrive in years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
