Review on "All Points In Between" - April 5, 2010
Straightforward country in one glimpse, deep-fried southern rock in another, and floating on the line of alternative at certain points, Pat Buffo sings lead vocals for “ Rebel Pride”, a Tampa-based, 5-man tribute to the simple philosophy of “just turn it up and rock.
“All Points In Between” really goes in a lot of different directions. “Girls Wanna Dance”, the first track on the cd sounds very country, but the very next track almost has a 3 Doors Down kind of feel to it that dips into an alternative feel.
“Touch Our Souls” has an absolutely screaming guitar that has a touch of blues, topped with some Slash and finished with a near infectious drumbeat throughout.
Overall, this album really covers a lot of ground. The name makes you expect a very narrowed sound, but it’s apparent everywhere on this 10-song effort that you’re getting a lot more than just good ol’ boys; you’re getting some diversity. Ed Woltil and Chuck Majewski do a great job with album art, too.
It was a cold evening in Brooksville,Fl. @ Journey fest 2010. That did'nt stop "THE REBEL PRIDE BOYZ". The band performed a powerful 45min set of high energy original music. The crowd rushed to the front of the stage and roared on after each and every song. The adrenaline level was spectacular. You need to check these guys out they are "SMOKIN" hot.

The passing of one of the greats. - October 1, 2007
The Rebel Pride Band would like to express our deepest sorrow over the loss of one of the greatest musicians that ever lived… Hughie Thomasson. We offer our sympathy’s to Mary Thomasson and the Thomasson family. This is a serious blow to our music community. Hughie was one of the few world-renowned rock stars to come from the Tampa Bay area. We have admired Hughie’s work for decades and recently got to know him better. I had talked with Hughie a few times last year about producing a CD for us. Our financial situation did not allow that to happen. I deeply regret not having such a great man to be a part of our recording process. Now we will never know what he would have brought to the RPB table. Last year Rebel Pride enjoyed seeing and meeting The Outlaws on their 30th year reunion tour here in Florida. Our manager Troy was a personal long time friend of Hughie’s. Thanks to that friendship, I have a memory that I will always cherish forever. I will never forget for as long as I live the time I got to sit at Troy’s kitchen table playing guitar and talking shop with Hughie Thomasson. Huey was a big influence on my playing style and the members of Rebel Pride and he will be sorely missed. Heaven has done called another six-string slinger back home. God Bless Hughie Thomasson! --Tom
