Rebellion live at Nannup Townhall

Rebellion is a catchy, anthemic song that emerged out of the Black Summer of 2020 when Australia was on fire and is, as a result, an edgier release for the married team of Bec Schofield and Dave Mann.
“We felt infuriated upon witnessing our government’s refusal to meet with the fire chiefs who’d been calling for climate action for some time to prevent the disaster,” says Bec.
‘You don’t speak for me… so don’t speak for me’.
“The song expresses our frustration at being spoken for by leaders who have taken up too much airtime,” Bec continues, “and taken too little action.”
Rebellion undulates with passionate, folk-hop vocals and soulful three-part harmonies over a funky upright bass, insistent drums and guitar solos wrapped within an overall infectious groove.
The single follows on from their WAM Song Of The Year (Folk Category) nominated song, Wadandi Boodja, which has been complemented by a beautiful video filmed and produced in collaboration with Anton Blume and Wadandi cultural custodians and elders.
Also backed by an emotive music video, Rebellion is the first taster of The Nomadics’ forthcoming second album, Green Shoots From Dead Wood, set for release in April 2022, in time for the Fairbridge Festival, where they have long been regarded as beloved favourites. A WA album tour is scheduled for May/June with many more dates to follow later in the year.
In the meantime, Rebellion will be all yours on January 20, 2022.
