PRE-ORDER THE NEW CLASS WAR KIDS DISC Until July 1st, pre-order the new Class War Kids cd from Rebel Time Records and get it for just $8.00!
“Reflection! Rage! Rebellion!” is The Class War Kid’s debut album for Rebel Time Records. Straight out of Newfoundland, the Kid’s deal in, as they put it, “uber-catchy, melodic, politically charged, socially-conscious, activist posi-punk-pop.”
“Reflection! Rage! Rebellion!” is14 tracks of riotous and raucous rebel music, it’s a collection of seditious and subversive sing-a-longs. These are songs of anger and songs of joy, songs of defiance and songs of dissent. It’s mood music for the Movement and the soundtrack to the Struggle. It’s for those on the blockades, the barricades, the front-lines and the picket-lines.
“Reflection! Rage! Rebellion!” is a matchless mix of music and message. The songs are upbeat and infectious punk rock rallying cries; the lyrics are insightful and inciteful calls to action. It’ll leave you ready to rock the boat, rock the system AND rock the dance floor.

REVIEW OF THE BRAT ATTACK From the June 2009 issue of MaximumRocknRoll:
THE BRAT ATTACK
Those Who Sow Sorrow Shall Reap Rage
Right-on anarcho revolutionary ideas set to slick, accessible pop/skate punk. As THE BRAT ATTACK is from Winnipeg, it behooves me to bring up PROPAGHANDI before mentioning other bands, but some that come to mind are STRIKE ANYWHERE and ANTI-FLAG. Some rad, raging freak-out vocals make brief appearances. Overall, if you want CrimethInk-esque politics in your music, but are more into NOFX than crust, this should be your number one jam (AA)

REVIEW OF THE NEW ROTTEN CD Rotten
Enemy Of The State
By Keith Carman/Exclaim Magazine
It's amazing when an already impressive band step up their attack another notch. Such is the case with Kitchener, ON-based the Rotten on latest effort Enemy Of The State. While the quartet have always unleashed a caustic, old school approach that few bands equal, on these 13 tracks they have truly amplified and refined everything without losing the spirit that has driven their aggressive punk for a decade. Enemy Of The State is crisply recorded and perfectly performed without detracting from the guttural, abrasive spirit and energy the Rotten continue to unleash. Essentially, this collection of incensed yet catchy tunes is a spirited, powerful blast of rage and aggression yet the actual delivery is the perfect balance of live enthusiasm and studio perfection. The result is a cumulative effect of decades-long listens to D.O.A., Zeke, Ramones, Rancid and Exploited — thick with rage yet mature enough to let it unfold patiently. (Rebel Time)

THE CLASS WAR KIDS: From the new issue of Exclaim...cool...buy it here for $5.00!
Class War Kids A Strong People Need No Leader By Keith Carman
A Strong People Need No Leader is quite impressive for a debut full-length. From the classic punk rock production values (in that it’s clear enough to be appealing despite being recorded live-off-the-floor) to rich songs that are inventive while still following the basic rules of engagement, there is little wrong with these ten tracks. Then again, it’s obvious that Class War Kids are using …And Out Come The Wolves as their guiding light. This results in a formidable blend of Rancid poppiness offset by touches of street punk, giving the album catchiness and edge at the same time. In fact, at points it almost seems as if Tim Armstrong finally learned how to enunciate and gathered a few political viewpoints to boot. Spirited, upbeat and proficient, A Strong People Need No Leader is a much-needed kick in the pants to utilitarian, pop-influenced gutter punk.
(Rebel Time)

THE CLASS WAR KIDS That's right, Rebel Time Records has a few copies of the brand new CD by THE CLASS WAR KIDS available for sale.
Or, send cash to: Rebel Time Records, 2-558 Upper Gage Avenue, Suite 162, Hamilton, Ontario, L8V 4J6, Canada
"In brief, The Class War Kids - out of Newfoundland and featuring members of The Brat Attack and The Embarrassments - play uber-catchy, melodic, politically-charged, socially-conscious, activist posi-punk-pop...
A Strong People Need No Leader is a punk rock clarion call-to-action,bursting with uplifting, up-tempo, insightful and inciteful oppositional anthems. The songs are fast and furious yet joyous and jubilant; they're hook-filled, message-filled sing-a-longs that'll get stuck in your head like glue.
The Class War Kids will have you shakin' your hips while you're shaking the system; one listen and you'll be dancing in the streets while you're taking it to the streets..."
Look for a new platter from the Kids on Rebel Time Records early in 2009!

THE BRAT ATTACK Rebel Time Records is stoked to announce that political punks THE BRAT ATTACKare now part of the Rebel Time Records roster!
In their bio THE BRAT ATTACK describe themselves as "a collective of people striving to create positive change through our music." That pretty much sums up what Rebel Time Records is all about, so we think it's a natural fit.
Quite simply, THE BRAT ATTACK deal in rabble-rousing music that aims to galvanize and mobilize. They make real rebel music. They hammer out songs of protest and resistance, songs of love and rage.
The new CD, "Those Who Sow Sorrow Shall Reap Rage," is a hummus-powered, positive and purposeful punk rock radical-left political primer. You get 14 songs that pull no punches, taking on the Religious Right, Stephen Harper, Punk Rock, Boneheads, Capitalism, Apathy and More. And if that's not enough, its even got melody, hooks and a catchy chorus or two. You will sing and you will dance!
The album is a call-to-arms; it’s fuel on the fire, it’s a brick in the hand, a wrench in the gears, a kick in the ass. It's inspirational and incendiary and it's hitting the streets real soon. And, THE BRAT ATTACK will be taking it to the streets in just a little bit! Stay tuned.
