First Class Rebel is the brainchild of Irish musician Ian Burke, blending the atmospheric swirl of psych rock with the hazy intensity of shoegaze. Emerging from Ireland’s vibrant music scene in 2025, Burke operates as a one-man force, handling song-writing, guitars, vocals, and bass, shaping a sound built from the ground up.
The music is a dense, immersive wall of sound — lush, layered guitars, dreamy melodies, and distortion-soaked reverb — drawing influence from The Jesus and Mary Chain, Oasis, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and Mogwai. Gritty yet expansive, First Class Rebel balances raw immediacy with hypnotic atmosphere, pulling listeners into deep, psych-driven soundscapes.
Recorded at Darklands Audio and produced by Dan Doherty (Fontaines D.C., The Jesus and Mary Chain). Rooted in the spirit of vintage psych rock while pushing into new territory, First Class Rebel is building a sound that is immersive, powerful, and unmistakably its own.
