We’re halfway through 2011 everybody and whether you have fallen in love with new songs or still stuck on your old favorite jams, I’m usually very curious as to what people are listening to now a days. To be honest though, I don’t give a shit what are our readers are listening to… I’m kidding, but if I had to go around to all of our readers and list what they’re currently listening to on repeat, we’ll just crash our servers and I would have to quit everything else in life. So in order for me to avoid all that I decided to narrow down the list and just ask our fellow local acts what they are currently listening to. This may actually be an opinion I care more about than most other people out there, I’m KINDA kidding, but it’s always nice to know what the people rocking our local venues are listening to at the moment. Now remember not everyone is listening to new releases these days, but I’m certain this tiny series will allow you readers to enter the musical mind of our local music figures. So we’ll be going member by member to see what they are all about when listening to their top 5 jams on repeat right now.

Today we have Migue Fernandez of REBEL. The charismatic lead singer/guitarist is the only original member left in the band that originated from the Dominican Republic. Throughout the line-up changes, the band has trimmed down to a power trio. When REBEL plays live, the line between their recorded music and live performances, blur. I totally dig a lot of Migue’s taste in music especially since his early influences bring me back to some of my early influences as well. Check out more about this electronic rock power trio.

Now, let’s cut to the chase!
