Rebuilder releasing new album Rock & Roll In America on June 2nd
Music News | Apr 30th, 2015
Boston pop punk band Rebuilder have announced their debut full length, Rock & Roll In America, due out June 2nd via Panic State Records. AbsolutePunk.net premiered a track from the album called “Look What You’ve Done.”
Rock & Roll In America is available for pre-order from Panic State Records HERE. Rebuilder will be on tour in May to support the album’s release, in addition to making appearances at Pouzza Fest, Skate and Surf, and Fest 14.
Boston, Massachusetts has always been a melting pot for the special intersection between American rock & roll and punk music. There’s something distinctly American about the city’s legacy of down-to-earth, working class bands, melding the universal appeal and swagger of rock & roll with punk rock’s grit and values. Rebuilder have tapped into that legacy and seek to continue it with their debut full length, Rock & Roll In America.
Recorded by Jay Maas (Defeater, Transit, Make Do And Mend, Polar Bear Club) at Getaway Recording, Rock & Roll In America builds upon the promise shown on Rebuilder’s 2013 self-titled EP, and represents a sonic shift towards something more dynamic. The band don’t shy away from taking risks, their melodic punk sound prominently features an organ, an instrument not often represented in the genre. Despite the influence of Americana and rock & roll on Rebuilder’s music, the band is invitingly familiar. They’re the kind of scrappy punk band whose every note exudes such passionate enthusiasm, that you can’t help but root for them. With the release of Rock & Roll In America, Rebuilder will soon have many new listeners doing just that.
