Glorious Rebellion has been a band since 2005 and has undergone many changes, some drastic, some subtle. GR started as a strict cover band,playing mainly the music of Third Eye Blind, Green Day, and Blink-182. They started off with four members; Ethan Myers on rhythm guitar and vocals, Domanic Wiltermood on lead guitar, Ricky Langford on bass, and Dustin Demoret on drums. After a few shows, the band started writing their own music and entered the school talent show. They performed their own song, Obstinence, and took first place. After several more gigs, and more of their own songs written, the band decided to try out a new vocalist, Chris Lewis, and changed genres from light rock, to a more serious, mature sound. Soon after Chris joined the band, former lead singer, Ethan Myers, quit the band as a rhythm guitarist, claiming he didn't like the genre change.
Despite losing Ethan, the bands popularity and fan base began to grow, but eventually Chris became to busy for the band, and announced that he would be backing out of Glorious Rebellion, after he had been with them for only less than a year. The band quickly started looking for a new vocalist, and were recommend by a friend to try out the now current singer, Brook Voils. At first, the rest of the members frowned upon the idea of a female vocalist, be decided to invite her to a practice anyway. They were blown away by her talent and enthusiasm and quickly asked her to join. At Chris' last show, Brook performed one song with Glorious Rebellion to preview what the future held for the band. Upon Brook's joining of GR, they made yet another genre change, this time to a more powerpop/happy hardcore sound with fast paced songs, syncopated breakdowns, and catchy lyrics.
In late 2009, the band added it's 5th and final member on keyboard and guitar, Taylor Harmon, who has always been a friend of Glorious Rebellion, but had always been in rival bands. Since the current line up of members had been set, the band has had more shows and a larger fan base than ever. They have taken the stage with some well known bands such as EleventySeven, Same as Sunday, Ghost of Maine, and Forevermore. They currently have their song "More the way you pictured it" released on iTunes, and recorded a demo that they will soon be releasing on May 7th
