Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, this band’s wild live performances are high-octane adventures that invoke the primitive energy of original era Rock 'n Roll, infused with the soul of early Rhythm & Blues, and invigorated with the raw power of punk. But that’s just where it gets started. It’s fast, it’s loud, it cuts straight into your core, but then it also purrs and whispers thoughts you’ve never dared to think, and shakes your misconceptions about what you think rock ‘n roll should be.

Fronting the band is Laura Palmer, a versatile multi-instrumentalist well-respected in the world-wide rockin’ musical community. Equally adept at slapping out the rhythm on an upright bass or picking on a big ol’ Gretsch, Laura Palmer’s on stage presence and powerful vocals command your attention. As a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, illustrator and designer, Laura creates the musical, visual and business language of Screamin' Rebel Angels which is a joyride into the universe of ferocious feminine power, primal rock 'n roll and a compelling creative spirit. The band regularly tours the U.S., Canada and Europe, maintaining a dedicated and supportive subculture fan-base.

Screamin’ Rebel Angels’ sound is built upon a foundation of rockabilly but, like The Clash and The Cramps before them, they take the style and run with it, making it into something timeless, exciting, and all their own. Screamin’ Rebel Angels are rockabilly the way Neko Case is country - they are, but that is really just the beginning of the story.

Live the band is incendiary. Palmer’s voice is a big as they come, and she is backed by purely top-shelf players. They burn up a room, and remind us why live music is a truly vital and necessary art form. In the studio they’ve managed to capture this lightning-in-a-bottle. Recorded and Mixed byTony Maimone (Pere Ubu, Bob Mould, Frank Black) of Studio G Brooklyn, the album leaps out of your speakers. This album is the antidote to a world full of down-tempo EDM, chill-out mixes, and music to make us point-and-click. Screamin’ Rebel Angels strive make you sweat, dance, shout, and jump, and they WON’T relent.
