Calling yourself Rehab would ordinarily have put me off, but when they cover contemporaries like Green Day, Feeder and The Killers, it is only right that I am drawn to Brampton's Royal Oak.

Opening with U2's Vertigo and Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out, the tone was set for the night though Rehab do recognise their past - with classics from Thin Lizzy, The Who and some guy called Hendrix all mixed up in a set-list, along with The Killers' Smile Like You Mean It.

I readily admit that I sometimes have a problem with certain groups that opt to play covers as they fail to experiment with the modern-day offerings.

The wealth of material out there from this millennium alone is mind-boggling. Fortunately, the gentlmen of Rehab recognise this fact.

Comprising Chesterfield lad Gary on vocals, Nick on bass, Brian on lead and Adam on the tubs, the group have only been in this current line-up for about a year - a year which has seen a whole host of dates behind them and left them with a diary-full of bookings ahead.

Tight and musically-gifted, Rehab belted out popular floor-fillers like I Predict a Riot by the Kaiser Chiefs, Blur's Song Two and The Automatic's Monster, leaving the packed venue happy and satisfied.

I also realised as I left that I had just witnessed a quality pub band doing exactly what a pub band should do - leave you wanting more.
