Rebels Over Flames

Bam Garrido (Lead Vocals) Lead vocalist of Rebels Over Flames. Bam Garrido was born and raised in The Bronx, New York. Currently still residing in the Bronx he embraces his Mexican-Puerto Rican heritage, but proudly states he is, “All American Beef.” Bam got his taste in music early on from his dad. Together they would spin Pink Floyd's “The Wall,” “Dark Side of The Moon,” and a lot of Metallica, Sepultura, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Scorpions, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots to name a few that would come together to create what would become the distinct sound of Garrido's band- Rebels Over Fire. It was hearing bands like these according to Garrido that, “got me into singing, performing, writing my own songs.” Continuing to share this passion of music with his dad Garrido would go on to be inspired by bands like HIM, Escape the Fate, Trivium- these all were the turning key to wanting to pursue the dream. It was about 8 years ago Garrido took his dream and began his band. With line-up changes along the way Rebels Over Fire are now what Garrido has always intended- a taste of the classic hard rock mixed with 21st Century kick ass roll. This is the time,this is the place and this is Rebels Over Fire. Kiki Lloyd (Bass) Smoking in more ways than one bassist and guitar player Kiki Lloyd brings that hard bass lead that is the construction melt to the wicked hard rock sounds of Rebels Over Flames. Hailing from the Bronx, Kiki is the layer that is hungry to create that well-known style and signature sound of rock, hard rock, found in her bones. Along with playing bass and guitar Kiki is also a songwriter, basketball player and a gamer. Her favorite video game right now is none other than, Call of Duty. Kiki Lloyd is that kick in the ace as she brings her positive attitude with her to every practice jam and gig ROF slams down. A pretty cool chick and a lit bassist all in the corner pocket of what Rebels Over Flames rock n roll sound blasts! She is the straight up real thing! Johnny 6 (Guitars/Backing Vocals) Johnny 6 is a classically trained musician. Starting at an early age learning to play the cello. A family richly influenced by the music of Puerto Rico, as Johnny's grandfather played guitar as one of the original Salseros in Puerto Rico, his brother a hip hop dancer in the 80's, a step mother who was a professional Christian singer and a cousin who performs with a popular rock band in the south... one could say it was Johnny's destiny. Having performed with a few other bands, Gentlemen by Nature, Solace Kings and the Philistines (who have two singles on iTunes) Johnny had responded to a Facebook posting about a musician needed. Responding, but almost missing the audition because he was in the middle of moving, as Johnny put's it about becoming a part of the band that day by saying, “Well... I'm here ain't it?” Since that time Johnny has continually grown and developed taking his classical style background, his family's musical heritage, plus his love for Linkin Park, System of a Down, Blessthefall, Lamb of God, Godsmack and many others to take his admitted hyper party like demeanor and channel the ADHD into music that rocks. An Up and coming Post hardcore/metalcore band from the streets of New York City!!!!!! Our EP is finally out, but we are currently working on new stuff baby!!!!
