Winchester Rebels

Facebook Page Quote "WINCHESTER REBELS were formed in August of 2009 in the unlikely musical hotbed of Santa Barbara, California. Nick Hunt (frontman/singer from well-regarded local band The Awakend) had the idea of assembling a group whose sound would echo some of the great hard rock bands from the ‘90s, while encompassing an original sound all their own. While at a studio in Isla Vista, Hunt came upon Nick Fitzgerald - like himself a member of a popular local band (in this instance, Battleship Grey), who was also looking to expand his musical horizons. A phone call by Fitzgerald to Santa Ynez Valley childhood friend James Longoria (guitar; formerly of the group Giant Squid Show) and Barry Carter (drummer; ex-Fifty Cents Short) completed this new and exciting ensemble.They chose to name the band Winchester Rebels after a similarly-named canyon road in Goleta that shoots straight up into the beautiful California foothills."
