RENTON {NEW EP TRACKS UP NOW}

About Me

Renton set out on a mission to create the complete antithesis of the bland, waterered down and nauseous indie scene currently dominating the music industry. Combining the darkest, sleaziest, glammest... and best bits of the late twentieth century and early 21st century. The sound combines heavily distorted and layered guitars, both melodic and rhythm, coupled with tear your face of guitar solos, unashamed pop vocals, sleazy big muff bass guitars, punk drums, trance leads, tender piano and down right dirty electro bass.
Our influences are varied and include some of the best of british: Muse, Depeche Mode, Enter Shikari, Suede, Whitesnake, Syntax, Underworld And a few from stateside: Tool, Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins John 5 (of Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie fame), Travis Barker (of Blink 182 and +44 fame), Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Van Halen
And not forgetting the rest of the world: Daft Punk, Rammstein, Crowded House, INXS, Silverchair, Robert Miles.
Recently out of the studio, you can check out our demos, both pre studio and post studio, or you can come and check us out at one of our gigs, listings are all on the profile.
Thanks too Shaun for all his work, Top Fella
