The momentum of the track is maintained, keeping listeners enthralled as ‘Rebel’ continues to evolve seamlessly until its conclusion.
The collaboration draws on the rich backstory of Cruel But Fair’s track ‘Bruno’ that was used in the production of ‘Rebel;’ about this song the band members, Simon, Nigel and Mark said:“Nigel spent some time in Hamburg, and it inspired ‘Bruno’, which is from Cruel But Fair’s album Altona. It’s about Bruno Tesch, who was a plumber and a leader of a counter demonstration against a march by Nazis through Altona, a working-class district of Hamburg in 1932. 18 people were shot dead by the police and many more injured. Bruno and the other leaders were falsely convicted and executed the following year after a ‘show trial.’ Simon thought ALTONA was a strong image, the theme inspired a few songs on the album, and we think the theme resonates today.”
With ‘Rebel’, IND:RA and Cruel But Fair deliver a track that embodies their creative synergy, offering an uniquely crafted fusion of their distinctive musical styles, so don’t forget to follow both artists on social media to stay in the loop about their future releases, live performances, and more exciting projects on the horizon.
