It relieves the pressure we are sometimes under, trying to get those position reports logged in accurately, filling vacant slots in the schedule, and dealing with that ever-fickle mistress, RF Propagation. Constant cajoling and poking fun at one another. I was flattered! But this is what it's like being an officer in the WRCC. As one of our regulars told me a couple of days ago - “Brian, it's only taken us 2 years to train you!”. I've learned a lot in this second year, and I think I have a better grasp of the job than before. It's been a very rewarding year, as was my first in 2018.

Here at home, you can find these guys at Third Street Dive, Uncle Pleasants or Headliners on occasional nights. On the touring front, DCR has shared the stage with My Chemical Romance, Floggin Molly, Murphy's Law, U.S. They also have a live album recorded in 2003 at New York's infamous and now defunct punk haven, CBGB's. DCR has managed to release two studio albums: The Rogue Album and an eponymous one. However, over the years and through the ever-changing lineup, they have also been no strangers to success in the independent music scene. Over the past few years, DCR has been no stranger to line-up changes, as they have cut former mates for reasons both musical and, surprisingly enough, substance abuse-related. They initially called the band BSP, an acronym that is still unexplained. Both King and Starkey also had stints in other bands over the years and didn't reunite again until Dead City Rejects formed in 2002. King played drums for and Starkey was on bass. King and Starkey, friends since the Nineties, first played together in a band called Speed Kills. Oh yeah, lets not forget Chico, on drums, also formerly of Magnetic Flux and who currently plays with Jefferson TARC Bus, an established Louisville cover band. Like I said, they live the life they sing of. King, formerly of Indigent Few and Speed Kills(also with Starkey) is DCR's apparently fearless spokesperson, as he and Starkey were the only two who showed up to this interview. The guts of The Rejects are long-term members Jeremy King, vocals and guitar and Brent Starkey, bass and backing vocals. They are enjoying a break from an aggressive touring campaign across the East Coast, while warming up to new guitarist, Bobby Olliges, formerly of Magnetic Flux and Cornbread Mafia. They are also hard to get in one place at the same time, unless they are playing in what has recently been a sporadic live performance schedule in and around Louisville.
