Today is a great day to share the newest single and music video from L.A. indie punk band Jacob The Horse, called “The Black Hand.” Jacob The Horse is Aviv Rubinstien (Guitar, Lead Vocals), Rick Chapman (Drums, Vocals), Mark Desrosiers (Bass, Vocals), and Josh Fleury (Lead Guitar, Vocals, Organ), and their vibrant music chemistry is on full display on this song. Rubinstein shared: “I’m not a card carrying Satanist, but this song is the closest thing we have to a ‘70s homage to things like how AC/DC mocked the Satanic Panic with ‘Highway to Hell.’ But, we’re working out real grievances through that lens. The big finish should’ve been ‘where all the drinks are free’.” With a sound that is equal parts White Reaper, PUP, and Against Me!, Jacob The Horse make a worthy battle cry that they have arrived. If you’re enjoying “The Black Hand,” keep an eye out for the release of their new record, At Least It’s Almost Over, on March 20th.

Rebelmatic – “Alive On Arrival” (Song Premiere)

Today I’m thrilled to introduce everyone to Rebelmatic. This funk-infused hardcore band is self-described as sounding like “James Brown in a mosh pit,” and they’re sharing an early listen to their slick new single called “Alive On Arrival.” The band shared:

’Alive on Arrival’ is a sub-two-minute adrenaline shot of pure New York grit. Fusing the raw power of hardcore punk with a signature funk-infused groove, this track delivers a high-velocity anthem of survival and street-level defiance. It’s the sound of the city’s unpolished soul; urgent, vital, and loud as hell.

Rebelmatic are gearing up for the release of their new album called Sting The Devil, which will be released on June 12th via Creep Records. Rebelmatic were also recently featured in issue 3 of the comic, Powers 25, and are quickly making waves in the hardcore/punk scene. If you’re enjoying the new single, please consider supporting Rebelmatic here.
