Their debut album, The Looking Glass (2004), co-produced by the band and veteran
sound engineer Tony Van Hoorn (recorded Phil Ramone, Ray Charles, Rick Derringer,
Southside Johnny) combines a surprising collection of tracks, each significantly
different from the others.
Comprised of eight songs, The Looking Glass is infectious from the first song,
The Order, to the last, Messenger.
Swaying between kinetic choruses and somber verses, the album takes on the
difficult task of pleasing both the hardest rocker and those who must find a
melody and meaningful lyrics to appreciate a band's talents.
The four piece band is composed of singer/keyboardist John Penola; guitarist
Tyler Bissell; drummer/vocalist Kurt Wubbenhorst and bassist Rob Struck.

Roots of Rebellion hails from Kinnelon, New Jersey, in the heart of the Northern
Jersey metro rock scene. Formed in 2001, the band's unconventional hard rock
combines melodic keyboard and vocals over complex rhythms and chords, creating a
unique rock sound that is equally appropriate on the dance floor, car radio and
mosh pit.
The complex musical progressions in each song are complimented by lead singer
John Penola's introspective, yet ambiguous lyrics.
Watch Roots of Rebellion playing live at "Chubby's Cafe" in Red Bank, New Jersey
(USA), April 25, 2004.
