“The Rebel Set are at once eclectic and traditional, admiring Phish and The Band. They dig indie rock and classic rock equally and their live shows always promise great range. If they have to bust out a trombone to please their artsy friends, they’ll do so. If they have to rave up a jam session to reach the rockers in the house, they will. The Rebel Set impresses.

“The Rebel Set forced blood, sweat and tears in the studio to finish their new record, "Across the Relentless Sea." The OE gig will serve as the CD release party. Essentially, this is the moment The Rebel Set (inspired by the Band and Wilco) has been waiting for. Groups spend hours upon hours in the studio, tweaking and repeating takes in order to track a suitable sound. The hard work is through. Now watch them cut loose.”

“The Rebel Set crosses the Band with more southern styles. This group regularly tosses in a cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues." The Rebel Set doesn't just play rock, folk, country or roots music — it plays them all simultaneously.”

“This rootsy bar band employs touches of rockabilly, power pop, country, surf and even new wave. Despite the disparate influences, the group manages to twist their influences into a unique and focused sound all its' own. ”

“This show is planned to be The Rebel Set's final performance of 2008. As we know, farewells are cruel, but rock 'n' roll may soften the blow. The Rebel Set's fashion of rock is a reflection on Robbie Robertson's philosophy — round up a bunch of buddies, play with roots music until Elvis would be proud, and gig around as much as one is humanly able.”

“The Rebel Set is a unique gang. A bit of the jangly rock made famous by Bob Dylan, a little irony a la Elvis Costello and wicked cool use of a trombone, piano and stand-up bass. If the opportunity arises, throw down a few bills for the band's album "Ghost Town Silence."”

“The Rebel Set is another band willing to cruise down a distinctive musical boulevard. Gavin Spencer plays an upright bass, harmonica and accordion. Ken Hall often busts out a trombone and Adam Kempf is no stranger to the trumpet. The Band would be proud. And this band ought to take pride in that.”

“The Rebel Set boasts sing-songy melodies that practically tap people on the shoulder, asking them to dance. The songs are intelligently written, and lyrically conscience. Their number, "Where This Road Goes" sounds like Jakob Dylan covering Steve Earle and is carelessly brilliant.”

““Great production, guys. The Old 97’s should be sending you checks”. ”
