Carolina Bands on The Rise: Rogue Nation

Written by Chris Coleman

      I have recently been listening to a Charlotte North Carolina based band called, The Rouge Nation. They have a CD out already called Be Your Own Rouge Nation.  The album has 18 tracks, 19 if you count the Ending skit. When it starts, you here this Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Officer reporting  in to other officers about a fire hydrant and then you get thrown into this awesome song called “ Your Blowing Smoke”.  It has a pure punk rock sound in every song.  The Rouge Nations also throw in comedy with songs like “Capitan Assgrab”, “Paris Hilton Generation” and “If I Were To Kill OJ This Is What It Would Sound Like”.  They are true to the Punk sound in all of their tracks. My favorite Tracks on this CD are “Unicorn”, “If I Were to Kill OJ” and the title track “ Be your own Rouge Nation”.
The Whole album is great in my opinion.
      The Band is made up of  Chris Peigler - Bass and Vocals, Keith Barnes - Drums, Mike Earle - Guitar and Vocals, Luke Warm (2006-2009)- Guitar and Vocals, Kevin Gavagan (2005-2007) - Drums and Insults, Eric Seitlin (2005-2006)- Guitar and Vocals.  Also, check out their EP, American Ruins.  They  have a great review on I Tunes saying “These guys are from my city, Charlotte, NC. They are just some great dudes that like to play punk rock. They sound kinda like the Circle Jerks or like Sex Pistols kinda stuff. If you like Punk, get this. “ Go Check out their Myspace page,  http://www.myspace.com/theroguenations, and also,
this goes out to the former Band member, Luke Warm. Rest in Peace.  Condolences goes out to your family.
