ESC011 | released May 8, 2007
"Re-forming after a ten-year break, these Albany, New York
power poppers drop the year's most undeniable riff ('You Are
Boring The Shit Out Of Me') and the video is office-nerd genius."
- SPIN
"The Hanslick Rebellion were perhaps the most formidable
and ferocious band to ever emerge from Albany, a monstrous consortium
of fine players, singers, rockers, writers and performers who
made the rare leap from campus (in their case, UAlbany) talent
shows to success in the regional club scene. The world was a
better place because they rocked some stages as hard as stages
can be rocked. The Rebellion didn’t last long during their
first incarnation, but a couple of years back, they regrouped
to bring (back) the rock. I took some of my work study students
and other miscreant friends down to see them play at CBGB in
their first show there after the hiatus. I guarantee you the
folks who went with me will remember that show for the rest
of their lives. The Rebellion is that good, as was the venue
we caught them at (RIP). The original Rebellion recorded an
unbelievably fine live album at Albany’s QE2 (another
lost, lamented, live music club, now the site of the inferior
Fuze Box), and Eschatone Records will be reiussing it in full
digital glory later this year. The new Rebellion, however, has
also been busy, and they’ve got a new disc called The
Deli of Life available exclusively through iTunes. Such
a great band. Pity we let them escape from Albany. We suck."
- J. Eric Smith, The Albany Times Union
"Apparently, The Hanslick Rebellion began some 12 years
ago in Albany, New York, only to be broken up two years later,
then reunited again (after not speaking for years) around 2005.
With their second chance at rock 'n' roll, these New Yorkers
have delivered a six-song EP packed full of punk energy, rock's
eternal spirit and a handful of great tunes. And in these six
tracks, the Rebellion's style changes rapidly and frequently.
In 'Caught,' they churn out a slow-burning traditional rock
sound, while launching straight into hyperactive emocore in
'Make My Heart Stop.' Then, packing a disco beat and synthesizers
to spare, they groove on into 'You Are Boring the Shit Out Of
Me.' Hell, there's even a bit of Beatlesque pop on 'Photograph.'
Suffice to say, The Rebellion are versatile musicians and songwriters.
It doesn't make for a very cohesive release overall, but from
song to song, The Hanslick Rebellion keeps the rock coming in
ample doses. - Jeff Terich, Treble
"Following a 10-year hiatus in which the two founding members
did not speak to each other, Albany, N.Y.’s The Hanslick
Rebellion emerge with a catchy albeit odd six-song EP called
The Deli of Life. Merging the collective experiences of four
musicians who spent the past decade playing in other area bands,
doing session gigs with Band Camp and Jessica Simpson(!?) and
penning material for King Missile and surviving members of The
Ramones, The Rebellion takes its name from Eduard Hanslick,
a powerful 19th-century music critic for Vienna’s Neue
Freie Presse. This band has certainly been a critics' darling,
and it’s arty and cynical but unpretentious (and sometimes
crass) slacker rock will have you singing along to little ditties
like 'Pop' and 'You Are Boring the Shit Out of Me' by the second
spin." - Michael Popke, Sea Of Tranquility
"Another New York outfit with Kramer's fingerprints on
it (he mastered this disc)... these guys do cycle through an
astonishing amount of material in six songs." - Jon
Worley, Aiding & Abetting |
