After receiving solid support for their last release, We Nah Got No Money (But We Got Love), from the likes of David Rodigan and Toddla T on BBC Radio1, 1xtra and blogs and websites including Reggaeville (Germany) and Irie Mag (USA), Rebel Control return in a more militant mood with their new single - Don't Let Them Fool Ya ...
The song is a sincere observation of an unequal world serving only to "make more money for the rich man" and urging the listener to open their eyes and stand up to the system.
This track sees a rebellious and articulate Rebel Control digging deep to make both meaningful and accessible music. Vocalist Andy Baron sings out the truth as Richie Concrete drops a heavy bass line and leads the band on a tough funky reggae jam, all given a tasty dubwise mix with producer Graham "Grammo" Pilgrim at the controls.

Don't Let Them Fool Ya

Rebel Control emerged from the smoke and soul of the late-night reggae jams spearheaded by vocalist Andy Baron and musician/producer Richie Concrete in a disused shop in West London back in 2008. The sessions drew in a heavyweight collective of UK reggae talent and laid the foundation for a band rooted in friendship, unity and consciousness.
Taking their music and message far beyond the shop jams, Rebel Control lit up major UK festivals including Boomtown and Bestival and took their live show to stages in Italy, Poland, and Montenegro. Along the way, they’ve shared bills with reggae legends including Luciano, Mad Professor, and Easy Star All-Stars, while staying true to their principles — performing for causes close to their hearts such as Love Music Hate Racism.
With airplay and props from the likes of David Rodigan, Don Letts, and Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, and BBC 6 Music — and international support across blogs, radio stations, and selectors worldwide — and with a new album imminent, Rebel Control stand steady, still vibing, still rising.
