Rehab Graffitis the World

ATLANTA, (June 9) -- Named on the Rolling Stone's "Hot List" as an editors' favorite (August 7, 2008), selling over 1,000,000 downloads on "Bartender Song" alone (Nielsen SoundScan) and continually writing music that sparks a connection with fans, Atlanta-based quintet Rehab is definitely putting their own unique mark in the industry. They have an unparalleled sound that fuses hip-hop and Southern rock, and an unwavering and growing number of supporters.
Since its start in 1998 with two men from Warner Robins, Georgia and an Atlanta native, Rehab has undergone a few makeovers to better the group, but the key ingredient in this recipe, which has remained constant, is front man and lead vocalist Danny Boone. Who's drive and hunger for making music is tenacious not only because of his passion, but for his inspiring line-up of fellow band mates. Rehab is now comprised of Atlanta's most sought after musicians including Mike Hartnett (guitarist) who has collaborated with Fergie, Pink, OutKast and others, Foz (guitar) who worked with World Soul, Ying-Yang Twins, Lil' Jon and Bonecrusher, Hano Leather (bass) founder of Attica Sound (one of the first hip hop movements) in Athens, Georgia, and Chris Hood (drums).
The band was originally signed with Epic Records in 1999, but was dropped from the label in 2002. After a few months of regrouping and soul searching Boone decided to put a new line-up together and began working on new music and touring. In June 2005 they released their independent album "Graffiti The World" through Attica Sound, the album sold a total of 55,00 units (Nielsen SoundScan) before it was up streamed to Universal Republic Records by Avery Lipman.
With their underground phenomenon "Bartender Song", fans were able to relate to the lyrics and thus it became not just a song, but also an anthem for bar-goers across the United States who felt connected to the words by their own colorful escapades.
"Most artists wind up covering somebody else’s songs and as a result their song becomes a hit; I decided to do something different and cover my own song, because I truly believed it had the potential of being a hit record and our first label never promoted it properly", said Boone.
With the tremendous support and adoration from fans, the band has shown its thanks by an eagerness to hit the road and tour. The band tenaciously headlines its own tour 200 days a year, and has enjoyed playing sold out shows with diverse artists such as Kid Rock, Linkin Park and Rev Run.
The song was re-recorded and released in 2008 for Universal Republic Records, and a country version was recorded with the collaboration with country legend Hank Williams Jr. The collaboration spiraled into a video, which in 2009 was nominated by CMT for "Wide Open Country Video of the Year". The track was added to Rehab' s album Graffiti The World.
"Bartender Song" gave Rehab its re-start, but it doesn't end there. In July 2008 through Universal Republic, Graffiti The World was re-issued with several incredible new tracks including "1980", "Lawn chair High" and "Let em' Know". It has sold over 210,000 copies since Rehab' s release from Universal Records and continues to make headway (Nielsen SoundScan)
Danny and Rehab are Currently in studio working on their upcoming release on Universal Republic.. The first single from this release is the song “Welcome Home”. Penned… by Danny Alexander, which by many industry and radio gatekeepers is believed to be this years “Feel Good Summer Anthem” ……
