Rehab for Quitters

Toronto rockers Rehab For Quitters are synonymous with beer swigging good times and good ol’ fashioned rock ‘n’ roll debauchery. With their unique brand of high-energy punk encrusted rock music and their slicked back 1950’s flair, they’ve rightfully earned this fist-pumping reputation. Since forming in 2003, the hard-hitting trio has amassed an impressive fan base and shared the stage with legendary acts such as The Misfits, The Dickies, Agent Orange and Robin Black, to name only a few. Seeking inspiration from Motorhead to the Distillers, RFQ has managed to toss their influences in a blender with their originality to create a steamy fresh, highly addictive balls-to-the-wall concoction. Nothing comes easy in rock ‘n’ roll. With two sold out releases and a new full-length album Ladies and Gentleman (Boonsdale Records) already under their belt, the band has undergone numerous challenges and changes without sacrificing style or sound. They found their niche in March 2008, when New Jersey badass bassist Richie Bones completed the lineup by joining Dan Lobalsamo on vocals and guitar and Chris Dickey on drums. With 1950's greaser looks and a killer stage swagger, Rehab For Quitters boast gigs to remember and nights to forget. They will be featured on the Men’s Network show Buddies on the Vine in February followed by mass touring. 2009 will see RFQ hit North America and Europe, spreading their tunes like an airborne virus. They’ll leave you happily singing “Johnny Rock and Roll” for weeks on end while searching vintage shops for old school microphones and torn leather jackets.
