REBEL CHRISTENING - Tribal Eye 12'' 1985

About the next combo are unfortunately less infos to find and we're talkin' about Rebel Christening from the U.K., and it's a shame because their only 12Inch on Clay Records isn't a bad one at all. Members, as far as I could find out, were Conrad (vccals), Mick (guitars), Steve (bass), Dave (drums) and their style is rooted in the so-called Goth-Rock drawer and the three songs impressively underline this with melodic and typically sluggish rhythms. Especially the opener takes a while before the actual song starts. I like long intros when it really kicks off afterwards. The voice is appropriate, almost plaintive and pessimistic but never embarrassing. I guess at a Black Friday evening, the boys will be in the DJ's repertoire, as long as they know them. Further releases, tapes, 7Inches, records, Compilations, etc... are not known to me. Anyway, this record is really cool and the four use their instruments perfect, impulsive and thunderous. 👍
