Paris Street Rebels are a Rock'n'Roll band from Ballingry, Fife, Scotland.
Paris Street Rebels have the greatest band bio on Facebook, bar none. Moving and inspiring, they lay out their mission statement to add themselves to the great annals of rock n roll history. Despite those who deem the glory years over, PSR are taking their shot, and if the doubters are true, it only makes their credentials purer.
The band are made up of Kevin Murphy Jnr (vox/guitar), Grant 'G' Malcolm (vox/guitar), Jordan 'Jazz' McLean (bass guitar) and Cameron Gaudin (drums). Lets check out some of their work to date:
Kings of Balado
There is something about spoken word, in the Scottish accent that lends itself a raw and powerful meaning. Ian Rankin’s recent appearance on The Charlatan’s ‘Future Tense’ and Edwin Morgan’s heroic performance on Idlewild’s ‘Scottish Fiction’ spring to mind.
Here, the Fife four piece have created the drama of the Idlewild song alongside the guttural power of Cabbage to create a life long set closer.
I Don’t Wanna Die Young
This is their crowning glory to date. Snarling, brattish and flamboyant, they spew out a combination of Tribes and The Libertines on this rock 'n roll epic.
The dual vocals, sounding like a duet between Tom Clarke (The Enemy) and Johnny Thunders, have the rock 'n' roll desperation of The Libertines at their peak.
