[edit] Early history
They started out a Southern hip-hop duo called Rehab and were literally a product of their namesake. Original members Danny Boone and Brooks Buford, both recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, met at a local rehab facility and connected over their love of music. Mashing rap with rock, the duo released their 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." Two years were spent on the road supporting the album, including a stint on the Warped Tour, and then the duo splintered.[1]
[edit] New Rehab
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. Over the next few years, a cut from their debut album, "Sittin' at a Bar," would turn into a jukebox favorite. The Epic label got wise, re-released their debut album and renamed it Sittin' at a Bar, all without the band's permission. 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 has gained the band more commercial sucess & a "Whole Different" New Fanbase due to the success of a few singles that as of Jan 2011 are still in the running for top 30 Video countdown on CMT .Their Follow-up titled "Gullibiles Travels" is Due for release on Feb 21 2012 & they started the Tour of the same name on Friday Jan 13th 2012 to promote the new album.The Single "Wato by the Hoti" (reportedly about selling crack in a hotel by a Waffle House) is available now on Itunes & the Video for their single "King of Tweekers" which was released on their website in the summer of 2011 is set to premiere on 2-21-2012 with the Albums release
