Hailing from Austin by w ay of Denton\, the Texas Power Punk 5 piece are almost an institution. The ir fiery garage punk has spanned nearly two decades and has spread the wor ld over. People from countries worldwide\, aliens from universe-wide\, spi rit entities from dimensions unknown\, would all come to whatever dirty di ve club The Gamblers were playing to watch the band collectively impale th emselves on the sharpened stake of Rock and Roll. Raucous and unpredictabl e live shows have become the stuff of legend as injury and blood took cent er stage\, sometimes overshadowing the absolute brilliance of the songs th emselves. With iron clad bubble gum pop\, emotionally and philosophically informed by trucker speed and free clinic waiting rooms\, Riverboat Gamble rs have the rare ability to combine a Cheap Trick-ian love of hooks\, gang vocals that would make a good skinhead weep\, and a pathos and self-lacer ating with that\, if one was able to look beyond the band literally kickin g the holes in a venue ceiling\, was on par with any more congratulated “smart” band.\n\nBut God is fickle.  The Gamblers didn’t die as adv ertised. Everybody wanted them to be the Johnny Thunders Party Bus or what ever cliche narrative was most desired deep in the fair-weather fan’s he art. But the Gamblers\, a bunch of Misfit toys formed in the Denton house show scene\, recognize no master or silly pit boss. When they were expecte d to stay fast\, they slowed down\, got real odd and sad. Now they’re ex pected to mature and they’re saying\, “actually\, no thanks.” \n\nT he new stuff is as raw and speed driven as right when they were expected t o expire in the first place.\n\n \;\n\nStrung Out\nDead Rebellion\, St rung Out’s 10th album and the next step in their 35-year evolution\, mar ks a deliberate shift—a heavier\, more melodic turn that redefines the b and without losing their roots. Written during the pandemic but conceived long before it\, the record closes one chapter and opens another.\n“We g ot to that point where we’d start repeating ourselves\,” says vocalist Jason Cruz. “This one’s more mid-tempo\, more melodic—still heavy\, just not worried about speed.”\nProduced by Shawn McGee at Artistry Rec ording Studio in Las Vegas\, Dead Rebellion sees Strung Out—Cruz\, Rob R amos\, Chris Aiken\, Derik Envy\, and Daniel Blume—balance aggression wi th melody and depth. Tracks like “Future Ghosts\,” “Cages\,” and “Empire Down” tackle modern chaos\, technology\, and division while qu estioning what rebellion means in a fractured world.\n“The key to this r ecord is technology and divisiveness\,” Cruz explains. “What happened to bringing people together? We’re all just trying to find common ground .”\nStrung Out has never claimed to be political\, but Dead Rebellion ca ptures the tension of the times. “We’re just five guys proving you can come together and make something beautiful if you put your bullshit aside .”\n35 years in\, Strung Out continues to evolve—still raw\, still rea l\, still fighting to connect.
