UK singer-songwriter Dazzle Rebel is brazenly leading a new Fringe Rock movement with musical creations forged in a furnace and tempered with icy lyrics. Part avant-garde songsmith twisting together elements of Post-Punk, Punk Rock, Garage Rock and Alternative Rock. Part Renaissance songwriter with compelling and often off-beat lyrics. He tells stories filled with social commentary, political satire, heartfelt introspective and a healthy dose of dark humour. It’s a sound from an alternative dimension where David Bowie was a Punk, Ian Dury a greasy Hard Rocker and Lemmy a Funk Soul Brother.
With a punchy sound that rejects the overproduced, AI-injected nature of contemporary music, Dazzle Rebel instead infuses his recordings with as much humanity and soul as he can muster. Looking back to move forward, he regards the noise made by alternative musicians in the 70s, 80s and 90s as a golden era of musical inspiration. His creative vision combines the old with the new. The payoff is a sound that sits on the edge of modern music. It’s what he calls Fringe Rock.
