Artist Contact
Steve Lieberman, The Gangsta Rabbi, returns with “Oh, Crotch Rocket – Remastered,” a ferocious burst of energy that captures the restless spirit of his militia punk fusion sound. From the first distorted chord, the song tears forward with unrestrained force, its guitars snarling and its percussion pounding with near-mechanical persistence. The mix is intentionally abrasive, reflecting both rebellion and endurance. Each element feels alive, shaped by Lieberman’s refusal to be quiet or still. What might seem chaotic on the surface becomes, on closer listen, an intricate balance of noise and intent, the sound of someone channeling turmoil into creation.
The composition thrives on tension. Instead of chasing polish, Lieberman embraces imperfection, allowing feedback and dissonance to become part of the music’s emotional vocabulary. His vocal delivery feels like a rallying cry, gravelly and relentless, echoing both frustration and vitality. The pacing never lets up, embodying the persistence of an artist who continues to work through illness and exhaustion. Beneath the sonic aggression, there’s a strange sense of optimism—the kind that arises from surviving another day and finding meaning in the act of making sound.
Emotionally, “Oh, Crotch Rocket – Remastered” reads like a midlife confession wrapped in distortion. It’s heavy, unapologetic, and defiantly human. The track captures Lieberman’s ongoing struggle not just against circumstance but against silence itself. In live performance, its intensity would likely be overwhelming, a wall of sound that demands presence. This song is not about perfection or comfort; it’s about resilience, the raw persistence of an artist who refuses to fade.
