Rehab was an American Southern rock, country, and alternative hip hop band. The band has recorded seven albums, including two each for Epic Records and Universal Republic. They are mainly known for their 2008 hit, "Bartender Song (Sittin' at a Bar)". The group disbanded after a farewell tour in 2014.[1]
Early history, To Whom it May Consume (1998-1999)
Rehab was originally formed as a trio: Denny Campbell (Steaknife), Danny (Boone) Alexander, and Jason Brooks (Brooks Buford). Danny Boone and Steaknife, both from Warner Robins, Georgia, were the rap group "Prime Suspect" Danny Boone and Brooks Buford, both recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. It is a common misbelief that they met at a rehab facility. The trio formed Rehab, literally a product of their namesake. Early on, they released their first album To Whom It May Consume produced by Steaknife and Brooks Buford. Soon after, Epic/Sony offered a record deal.
Departure of Steaknife, and Southern Discomfort (2000-2002)
Soon after To Whom It May Consume, Steaknife was incarcerated and Epic/Sony offered a record deal. The group decided to continue on as a duo. Mashing rap with rock, the duo released their major label debut album, Southern Discomfort, in 2000 on the Sony label. Cee-Lo, Goodie Mob, and Cody ChesnuTT were some of the guests on the album, which would spawn the Top 15 modern rock hit "It Don't Matter" and of course "Sittin' At A Bar" Two years were spent on the road supporting the album, including a stint on the Warped Tour, and then the duo splintered.[2]
Cuz We Can, Departure of Buford, and Hiatus (2002-2004)
Around 2002, Buford released 26 unreleased Rehab songs on his website. This was later known to fans as Cuz We Can ( 22 of the 26 songs were produced by Denny "Steaknife" Campbell). It was later pressed and given out to on tours by Boone in 2007 where he also modified the tracklist.
After 2 years on the road supporting the Vans Warped Tour and playing with bands such as Linkin Park, Danny called it quits over a difference in creative view points. There were also a lot of rumors that were going around about Brooks and a drug addiction while touring. After they finished, the duo split and went on an indefinite hiatus.[2]
New Rehab, Graffiti the World, Welcome Home, and Gullible's Travels (2005-2014)
In 2004, Boone retained the name and recruited four veteran musicians for a new Rehab. Now a quintet with Boone as the lone singer/rapper—and also using his birth name, Danny Alexander—Rehab signed with Arshid Entertainment and released the ambitious Graffiti the World in 2005.
Sometime in 2008, the three original members decided to do a reunion EP and go by the name Southern Discomfort in which the EP would be self-titled. Their label saw this and decided to hault most of the promotion for this since the name of Southern Discomfort was essentially owned by Epic/Sony. In result, the label released "Sitting at a Bar" which was a re-release of their debut album and also an out-lash towards the band. All of this was done without the band's permission.[3] To fight this unauthorized reissue the band re-recorded its now famous drinking song and renamed it "Bartender Song." This version would end up on a 2008 version of Graffiti the World released by the major label Universal. Rehab stuck with Universal for their 2010 album Welcome Home. Which gained the band more commercial success and a "Whole Different" New Fanbase due to the success of a few singles that ran for top 30 Video countdown on CMT until January of 2011. Their Follow-up titled "Gullible's Travels" was released on Feb 21, 2012 through AVJ Records (a subsidiary label of Average Joe's Entertainment), and they started the tour of the same name on Friday Jan 13th, 2012 to promote the new album. The Single "Waho by the Hoti" (the Waffle House by the hotel) is available now on iTunes. The video for their single "King of Tweakers", which was released on their website in the summer of 2011, premiered on 2-21-2012 with the album release.[4] A video for the next single "Can't Catch Up To You" will be recorded in April. On July 3rd 2013, A Track by Twiztid was Released off their first Mixtape A New Nightmare Entitled Unjust love, Featuring Danny Boone. The band have recently released a new lyrics video for their new song, "Whore". It's expected to be on their new album due later this year.
Possible Reformation (2015-Present)
Sometime in June of 2015, former founding member, Denny Campbell (Steaknife) posted on his Facebook page that said there was a possible Rehab reunion between Danny Boone and himself. He continued to post pictures of him and Boone in the studio as well. On March 19th, a possible album cover was posted on Rehab's website.
