The Rebels Not In (1998) is the third and final album recorded by the American indie rock group The Halo Benders.[4]
The album was released on K Records on February 3, 1998, on vinyl LP and compact disc. It was the third full-length release from the Halo Benders, a side project of Calvin Johnson (of Beat Happening) and Doug Martsch (of Built to Spill). Its catalogue number is KLP81. It has a generally more polished sound than the Halo Benders' previous efforts.
The unique intro drum beat on "Bury Me" is a nod to The Wedding Present song "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah," from their 1994 album Watusi. This is further evidenced by Martsch's chorus of "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah."
