Founded in Geneva in 2008, the band quickly turned to writing in French, fascinated by the yéyé culture of the 1960s, garage rock and the French New Wave cinema. This obsession can be found on their first EP, ‘J'adore ce Flic’, with Dutronc, Ferrer and Gainsbourg in their sights. With several albums, singles, EPs, compilations, several European tours, festivals (Paléo, Printemps de Bourges, etc.), opening acts for Jon Spencer, The Charlatans, Lords of Altamont and BB Brunes, to name but a few, Geneva-based The Rebels of Tijuana have built a solid reputation as a live band in the 2010s, gaining recognition from the French, Swiss and Canadian press (Canal +, Rock&Folk, LesInrocks, RTS, France Inter, FIP, Ouï FM, CISM & CIBL, Festival de Cannes, etc.)
Strongly influenced by American bands of the 1960s (The Monkees, 13th Floor Elevators, The Byrds, etc.), the band began to slow down the tempo with the track ‘Brazil 70’, which enjoyed some success in football circles (L' Equipe, France Football). The band evolved and moved away from the yéyé style in 2018 with the album ‘Asile’, in favour of a more poetic style closer to the French underground scene (Bertrand Burgalat, Julien Gasc, etc.). A more pop and psychedelic horizon with cinematic instrumentals in a more surreal French style, as exemplified by their track ‘Et le Blizzard s'estompe’, which became the band's most listened to track. They founded Le Pop Club Records in 2011 and have also produced various music for series.
