“Ska Fest: So first off, RMRM have become known as one of the region's best ska, reggae, and party bands. What were some of the original ideas behind the group and how would you compare it with where you are now? RMRM: Our honest to god ideas were "Hey, let's play all the music that we all love, all at the same time and if no one else likes it, at least we will!" And what you hear, is what came out! We try to have a bigger party on stage than the one in the crowd. It's just too bad that the crowd doesn't fit on stage! ”

— D'arcy Briggs, Victoria Ska Fest

“As kids of the counter-culture Rocky Mountain Rebel Music believe in celebrating the alternative life. With a current roster of ten musician drawn from across Canada, England, Denmark, and Brazil, this diverse collective play music with a high energy. Charged by Reggae, Rock, Funk, Dub, Dancehall, Punk and World rhythm, Rocky Mountain Rebel Music delivers an original sound that defies comparison.”

— Mike Cotton, Nomad's on the Road

“After getting some food, and catching a bit of Glitchy and Scratchy’s signature blend of spacy glitch-hop in The Pagoda, Long John and I headed over to The Rock Pit, drawn to the sound of live instrumentation. The band playing was Victoria-based Rocky Mountain Rebel Music, composed of a trumpet player, several guitars, drums, and a vocalist who also beatboxed into a didgeridoo. The music was a blend of ska, rock, and funk, and I couldn’t help but take off my shoes and dance like a maniac in the pit for the full performance. Honestly, I did not expect that sound at the festival, and I truly haven’t had that much fun dancing since I was a little kid; I left the pit laughing giddy and hugging everyone around me.”

— BizzyMind, Radio Toxic

“Local ‘9-piece party orchestra’ RMRM have just released their second album, the well-recorded and (certainly!) energetic Vic Sound System. The scope of musical creativity is strong here, and borders are constantly being tested to escape any real generalization describing the sound. ‘Lion’ starts the album out with a crawl, and an oh-so-sweet brass section. By track three, "Nisky Business," we are treated to a hustle akin to "Do It Any Way You Wanna’"by ’70’s disco act People’s Choice (sampled on Tupac’s "Holla If You Hear Me"). Peppered throughout the album are moments of straight-up skanking, but it is always countered with something to affect it and escape pigeonholing. There are tracks for so many different feelings: whether I want to burn one down ("Set Free"), play video games ("RSIB"), slow dance ("Man On Earth") or samba ("Smoke"). Summoning a breadth of sensations, these nine personalities bring serious oomph to this set of songs M”

“The 10-piece Vancouver Island ensemble has many musicians, many instruments and one big sound to share. The key to keeping the group collectively engaged and working together – in the studio or on stage – is that no one can deny a good song, said Horwood. “With everybody in the band, we can argue about songs, but the nice thing about having so many people and opinions is you know when a song is good and everybody agrees on it,” he continued. ”

— The Source

“There are few bands kicking around Canada’s indie music scene as unique as Rocky Mountain Rebel Music. Hailing from Victoria, B.C., this 10-piece instrumental reggae-rock, funk, jazz, ska and hip-hop collective is as eclectic as they come. Using about every instrument fathomable, from trumpets, saxophones, two drum sets and keys, down to a dijiaridoo, RMRM’s sound appeals to a variety of musical tastes.”

— Dorian Geiger, The Sheaf

“A 10-piece band from Victoria, featuring everything from saxophone to guitars to didgeridoos, will be playing at the Grand Central on Wednesday. Rocky Mountain Rebel Music describe themselves as the rally and the after party and a band that simultaneously helps you unwind and challenges you. They believe that counter-culture should be celebrated, and that’s exactly what they do.”

— Fernie Free Press

“Rocky Mountain Rebel Music has returned to Banff, hellbent on playing the region’s ‘wildest’ venue. The eight-member reggae-ska-funk extravaganza will take to the stage at Wild Bill’s, Sunday (Aug. 21). Jesse Horwood, lead guitarist, spoke on behalf of the band last week. “We are normally a 10-piece band, though we’re only travelling with a tiny eight this tour,” he said. “We have a big sound matching up reggae and ska, and a little bit of rock and funk in there as well.””

— Drew Hoshkiw, RM outlook

“A former employee of The Golden Star has made a bit of a change in professions. Andrew Bishop, was a reporter in Golden who will be back to town with his fellow band mates from Rocky Mountain Rebel Music.”

— Faith Dusevic, Golden Star

“Over the past three years, Rocky Mountain Rebel Music has grown a lot — and not just in terms of members. True, the Victoria band is now a 10-piece ensemble, with musicians manning everything from saxophone to guitars to didgeridoos...”

— Amanda Farrell-Low, Monday Magazine
