biographical info



"Rocky Mountain Rebel Music is a musical party on a rampage. A juggernaut that is one part ska/reggae band and one part funk-rock, all with the Take-No-Prisoners/DIY ethic of punk rock and a slight Latin flavour. At 10 members strong, RMRM brings an onslaught of vocalists, guitars, keys, horns and percussion to the table." The Zone 91.3FM. 

What started as a basement experiment in 2008 has evolved into the 10-piece ska-funk orchestra known as RMRM. With members hailing from across Canada, the UK and even Denmark and Brazil, RMRM incites riots on the dancefloor. Dance Riots. That's been enough for this musical army to forget about splitting profits 10 ways and focus their energies on creating original, shit-hot albums and packing venues across the Great White North. 

10 members, 2 albums, 3 tours, over 90 shows played, 3 appearances at Victoria Ska Festival, 3 live radio broadcasts, 1 month as The Zone's 'Band of the Month', and one award as 'Victoria's Favorite Band 2010' by Monday Magazine. The numbers don't lie, RMRM is a force to be reckoned with! 

With their brand new full length release "Vic Soundsystem" Rocky Mountain Rebel Music is looking forward to a summer of good times and great music sharing the stage with reggae legends Ky-Mani Marley, Gramps Morgan and Kae Sun in Market Square at Victoria's 12th annual Ska Fest. 

The Martlet Newspaper says "the 10-piece performs with a loose-cannon-like energy that’s guaranteed to get audiences dancing." 

Monday Magazine proclaims "It’s like an instant party: just add a sound system" 

Nexus Newspaper states "(RMRM) is up-tempo, summertime, and surprisingly tight for such a large group"

Press Release: Rocky Mountain Rebel Music has spent the last 3 years building a legacy in the Victoria music scene.

Although they have played only a handful of shows this year in Victoria they have shared the stage with some big names; Ky-Mani Marley, Gramps Morgan, Five-Alarm-Funk and the Aggrolites to name a few.
