Rebelmatic is a genre-defying New York City band blending hardcore punk, funk, and soul with socially conscious lyrics and explosive energy. Led by Creature on vocals, with Alkatraz on guitar, Karnage on bass, and Ramsey Jones on drums, their sound is often described as “James Brown in a mosh pit.”
Known for their electrifying performances, Rebelmatic has shared the stage with a diverse array of iconic artists, including GZA, Erykah Badu, Angelo Moore of Fishbone, HR of Bad Brains, Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello, DMC of Run-DMC, Weedeater, Zulu, Soul Glo, the Detroit proto-punk band Death, and The LOX, solidifying their presence as a force in the underground music scene and beyond.
Rebelmatic’s first single, “Peace,” from their highly anticipated 2025 album Black Hole Eats The Tornado (Say-10 Records) saw release earlier this year, but the band is back with a video for the track. On this track, lead vocalist Creech delivers a poignant message, urging listeners to resist hatred’s influence and champion love as the guiding force. Through its vibrant uptempo rhythm and infectious energy, “Peace” embodies a spirit of resilience and unity, resonating with audiences across all walks of life.
Creech says, “‘Peace’ captures the raw energy and vibrant spirit of New York City, blending scenes of electrifying live performances and chaotic mosh pits with clips of skateboarding and BMX riding through gritty urban landscapes. The visuals amplify the song’s positive message, emphasizing unity and resilience in adversity, as the band channels their punk roots with a dynamic, communal energy. Shot against the backdrop of NYC’s streets and skate parks, the video celebrates the city’s culture and Rebelmatic’s ethos, creating a visceral experience that calls for action and hope.”
