Rebel Inc. is a Scots counter-culture publishing company and literary journal, founded by Kevin Williamson in 1992 with the slogan of "F*** the Mainstream!".
Rebel Inc Magazine ran to five issues between 1992 and 1994, publishing new work by writers such as Irvine Welsh, Alan Warner, Laura Hird, Toni Davidson and John King before any of them had books in print.
Issue 4 featured an infamous 'Ecstasy Interview' - an unedited conversation between Kevin Williamson and Irvine Welsh whilst both editor and writer were under the influence of the psychoactive drug, MDMA.
In his blog of February 2008, Kevin Williamson wrote "I pulled a stunt on Radio Scotland which satisfied the Malcolm McLaren criteria of "establishing the name", as related to one of the finest exploitation movies of all time: The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle.
A steady stream of releases then ensued, with out-of-print editions by the likes of Alexander Trocchi and Sadegh Hedayat, who themselves are considered influential by many contemporary dark Scottish authors such as Welsh and Alan Warner.
