The Forgotten Rebels are a punk rock band from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1977, the Forgotten Rebels have a discography of seven albums and a collection of EPs and singles.

History

In 1979, Chris Houston (a.k.a. Pogo Agogo) joined the band and played bass on the 1980 release In Love With the System. Houston left the band just over a year later citing "creative differences" and time constraints as he pursued post secondary education.
