- The New Regime has one...one MEMBER. Ilan Rubin, drummer for Lostprophets, wrote, played, and sang everything on this project and is only 19! "All of the material was recorded on Lostprophets downtime and to be honest, I had never really sung before" says Ilan. After becoming comfortable the idea of singing, he wrote and recorded 8 songs in his garage. "I started showing it to people not telling them who it was and started getting some really positive feedback, so I decided to continue with it and see where it went" Ilan remarked.
So what's with all the mystery? Ilan decided to take that same concept and apply it to the public. "I wanted people to listen to it and make up their mind based on the music, not who it was by or what band I'm in" says Ilan.
Ilan has started a side project to work on during Lostprophet's downtime, called The New Regime. This is the only Bebo Page to be dedicated towards The New Regime at the moment and will feature all the latest news!!!!

THE FIRST BEBO COMPETITION FOR THE NEW REGIME!!!!!
Okay first things first, this is just for fun and there is no prize except maybe something really really small like a luv or something, the aim of the competition is to make the best New Regime Flag, using the whiteboard found in this profile.
Make it as plain and as colourful as you want, do whatever you want, but there must be either 'TNR' or 'The New Regime' on the flag for it to be counted as a contender.
This is just for fun and something to do whilst on this page, anyone can enter even if you are not a member, but please put your name at the bottom of the caption clearly.
Good Luck!

Who is Ilan Rubin?
Ilan Rubin (born July 7, 198
began playing drums at the age of 8, when he discovered his Father's 1968, Silver Sparkle, Ludwig drum kit set up in the garage. After three months of "toying" with the kit, he was jamming with his older brothers and by the age of 9 was ready to play for F.o.N., a band that eventually would do three stints on the Vans Warped Tour, where, in addition to playing with F.o.N. Ilan would fill-in on drums with bands such as NOFX. In 1999, F.o.N. opened Woodstock on the "Emerging Artist Stage" and, as a result, 11-year-old Ilan gained entry into the Guiness Book of World Records as the youngest musician to ever play on a Woodstock stage. Still at the age of 11, he submitted a video to Modern Drummer Magazine, taken of him doing a solo during an F.o.N. performance, which was picked by the magazine as the winning entry in its "Best Undiscovered Drummer Under the Age of 18" contest. The winner of the 18-and-over category came from Argentina, and both drummers were invited to perform at the 2000 Modern Drummer Festival, by which time Ilan had turned 12.
Currently, Ilan is the drummer for the Welsh alternative metal band Lostprophets (although he is American). He replaced Mike Chiplin, who quit the band in June 2005. He drums on two tracks from Lostprophets' latest album Liberation Transmission: For All These Times Son, For All These Times and Everybody's Screaming!!!. Lostprophets hired drummer Josh Freese to play the remaining ten tracks on Liberation Transmission. The drummer on the demos for this period are unclear with all tracks, depending on the time the demos were made, potentially being recorded by either ex-drummer Mike Chiplin, frontman Ian Watkins or Rubin. Either Rubin or Freese may have recorded the B-Side Every Song, which comes from the album sessions. Rubin has, however, been touring with the band and appears in the videos for Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast), A Town Called Hypocrisy, Can't Catch Tomorrow (Good Shoes Won't Save You This Time) and 4:AM Forever.
Immediately prior to working in the studio with and later touring with Lostprophets, Ilan was the drummer for the band Denver Harbor, which included his older brother, Aaron, as bassist, who had played guitar in F.o.N.; as well as 2 ex-members of the punk band Fenix*TX Denver Harbor was dropped from their label 1 year after their only full length album, Scenic, was released in 2004 but not before the band did a few round-trip tours of the United States and one week in Japan with a re-united Fenix TX.
Having taken a few lessons from Blink-182's drummer Travis Barker and David Uosikkinen, drummer of famed '80's band, The Hooters, Ilan is primarily a self-taught drummer. He is also an accomplished guitarist and classical pianist.0 Comments 643 days

Ilan's First Day
by

I am more than pleased with EVERYTHING regarding The New Regime. The plays, the adds, the comments, the messages, everything has been perfect so far. I don't want this to lose momentum so I hope that everyone can keep up the great work and continue listening to the songs, sending bulletins, and spreading the word any way you know how. The more plays and positive feedback, the quicker I can put up some more songs. In the upcoming weeks I'll be putting up banners, icons, and other cool tools to help spread the word. Thanks again, I appreciate it all.0 Replys 91 weeks
Take care,

Yeah...
Disappointed as there is no mention of his work in Nine Inch Nails.
Also, wouldn't it be more relevant to have some New Regime music videos?
He's the Nine Inch Nails drummer now though. Shame.
Jewel, please could you not post such comments. This is a music group, not one for cheap webcam 'hookups'
and yes, I have reported you, as the comment you made was clearly innapropriate, good riddance and good luck attempting to spam the internet with your trash.
That's fine, just don't steal all the friends lol, are you the same band that was on MySpace?
If so, I'll advertise you if you advertise me, like a partnership thing. I'll use your skin in the future, so you'll have TNR band and i'll have the group!
Ilan is doing great =]
