The Forgotten Rebels are a punk rock band from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. With roots dating back to 1977 right up until the present time, the Forgotten Rebels have left a legacy of seven albums and a collection of EPs and singles that have influenced many other Canadian and international bands forming in their wake.
Although the band went through many lineup changes over the last 28 years, Mickey DeSadist, born Mickey Gerlecki (vocals) and Dave McGhire (drums) remained the creative foundation of the group through most of its history. McGhire quit in 2003 leaving DeSadist as sole survivor. The main song writers were: Mickey DeSadist, Dave McGhire and Chris Houston.
