      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.
