Rebuke is a punk rock band from Gothenburg in the south-west of Sweden. They formed in 2003 after the split-up of singer/guitarist Petes band Still Lafin', when he and bassist Phil decided to start a band together with drummer Erik. After mostly covering old NOFX songs for a while, the band started putting together their own material, and has released a few independent efforts so far.
