Metal-Temple:
“Reminded me of the early Iron Maiden Days”
Bravewords:
“This record is full of gritty, down ‘n’ dirty fun with a spiked metal grip”
Rebelx:
“Great stuff for cracking open a cold one and blasting down the highway at an illegal rate of speed”
The Razors Edge:
“Combination of AC/DC, Guns N Roses, and Motley Crüe would be how I describe them, with the added Motörhead to bring for flames to the fire on occasion”
MetalTemple:
“Pay attention to Rebel Priest’s rock n roll homily, because they preach rock n roll, you’ll be converted to their hard rock cult”
Hellfire Magazine:
“For fans of bands like Motley Crüe and the likes, Rebel Priest may be the right thing and if you are looking for dirty rock with beer loving lyrics for a night of drinking, you will find it at Rebel Priest”
Soundmagnet:
“Rebel Priest stands for fast and hard rock n roll.”
Games, Brrrains & a Head-Banging Life:
“A blast of high-powered hard rocking energy”

This single is the first step into the true sounds of Trash n Roll, it’s a song that is full of teeth-gritting, fist-pounding primal aggression.
It’s a statement without politics, it’s a feeling without emotions, it’s a way to move without moving.
It’s the first taste of an amazing upcoming album.
Rebel Priest:
“Hardened Steel Trash N’ Roll! This new single is our best yet and truest vision of what Trash n Roll really is, so with that said, I think anyone who didn’t get it before will be jumping on the bus for the ride. It’s gonna be the best song to light some new fires in ‘On the Fencers’ and the new generation of rock n rollers. We want to tap into that adrenaline that is at the end of a shitty day or a shitty situation and this song is gonna be the wrecking ball to get you outta that funk and get those motors revving!”
“War Horse was originally just an idea we had for a video we will never be able to afford hahaha. Our unnamed anti-hero is on a space bike cruising through the universe. It kind of embodies the idea of trash n roll in the sense that most folks don’t see vagabonds as equal people but we keep rolling, there’s always time for trash n roll! It’s our way of saying ‘fuck em’ to everyone that doesn’t respect you or your path. If it’s you against the world, here’s the warhorse you can ride into battle!”
Rebel Priest is a no-nonsense, real-deal rock n’ roll band composed of three seasoned musicians who have been making their way through the Western Canadian rock n roll scene for years. Vocalist/bassist Jayme Black (Lust Boys, The Toxiks); guitarist/vocalist Benny Kemp (Lust Boys, Road Rash); and drummer/vocalist Nate Pole (Kill Matilda, The Toxiks) bring nothing but unadulterated, high energy grease infused Trash N’ Roll!
“The band name came from a Tombstone of a Canadian Shaman, it’s said ‘redacted’ he was a Rebel, he was a priest, he was the storm, this will not stop him.”
“The band started out with stage attire that was Manowar meet iron fist era Motörhead, which we dropped early on because only one person a show would remember the outfit making it look like we were taking turns dressing up like a caveman.”
The band has had the pleasure of touring Japan, and performing alongside bands such as Udo (Accept), Lordi, Diamond Head, Crystal Pistol, Flotsam, and Jetsam along with playing many headlining gigs with the energy of Motorhead meets Motley Crue.
Since forming in 2014, the band has released three studio albums ‘R’ley Heavy’ (2019), ‘Enabler’ (2017) and ‘Self-Titled’ (2015) along with one live record ‘Dead Alive @ SBC (2017)’.
In June 2022, they offered up a slab of new music in the shape of a new EP ‘Lesson In Love’ via Batcave Records/Thundermoose Entertainment to follow their 2021 EP ‘Lost In Tokyo’.
The EP ‘Lesson In Love’ was four tracks that ready fans to hear the band’s NWOTHM influences along with their brand of slurry heavy Rock n Roll.
Now in 2023, the band is crossing the Pacific to tour Japan in October working on a new album still in the works for release in 2024 along with giving fans a taste of what’s to come with their single ‘War Horse’ being dropped in September 2023.
Jayme:
“On a few different tours, I rolled under a moving semi-truck, Benny free falled out of a 40 ft tree hitting every branch on the way down, Nate broke his sticks and almost took out someone at front stage, Benny broke each of his knees on stage and finished the show. Once when we were on our way to play a show in Calgary, we got pulled over and when we got out, a bunch of whiskey bottles fell out and we convinced him that they were for candle holders. Another time we were driving through the Rockies and we got caught in a forest fire, landslide, tropical storm(with cars and trees getting blown over), and finally almost totalled by a moose, all on the way home.”
“Benny has been practicing Muay Thai since the pandemic and trained in Thailand. Nate has watched 600 episodes of One Piece in one year. Jayme is an avid collector of comics, old Warhammer 40K, and vintage tales from the crypt memorabilia.”
