Chip Off The Block
Me For Rent are a punkrock band from Ceccano (Italy) near Rome. They started playing together so young, when were only kids in 1996. As every punkrock band from the half of 90’s they just start covering Nofx, Lagwagon, Descendents and more but, as fast as they refine music approach and sound, they started write own songs mixing rock’n’roll, californian hardcore and seattle sounds. After a few years playing live and some selfproducted demotapes they still kept the same linup as they started. After playing with such great bands as Shandon, Thee Stp, Crunch, Cosmonauti, Julie’s Haircut and more, in 2003, they agree with NerdSound Records about the release of their first full lenght titled “Il Manuale Del Perfetto Impostore†licensed on september 2003 and distribuited in Italy by EDEL. About half-hour of fast and melodic punk-hardcore sang in Italian and played in Fatwreckords style. After that they started touring around Italy playing with such great band as Vanilla Sky, Punkreas, Prozac+, Linea77, Los Fastidios and more. After more than two years of tour in small clubs around Italy and some Tv shows, presenting the two videos of “Superstizioni†e “Senza Scrupoliâ€, enable them to be invited as guest in september of 2005 at the first edition of Rock in Idro in Milan, the most important Italian punk festival playing with Nofx, Millencolin, Pennywise, My Chemical Romance and such more great bands. In January 2006 they finished the tour supporting Lagwagon tourdate at Rolling Stone in Milan and started to write a brand new album. A long year begun because a new sound means a little bit of big changes and impose a period to understand what’s the right way to create. On March 2007 they recorded a cover of Misfits’s “Hybrid Moments†for Ammonia Records’s compilation called “Punk Remake Vol.1â€. The Video of this track has been insert in the playlist of italian MTV Brand New, Rock TV, ALL Music and other big italian tv Networks. On June 2007 they started to record the brand new album called “No Fancy Style†that is produced by Americo Roma and mixed by Jack Endino (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Hot Hot Heat). On July 2007 they played at Eastpak Etnika Rock Festival with OkGo, Strung Out, Roy Paci & Aretuska and in September 2007 they has been invited twice at Idroscalo Rock (aka Rock in Idro). A great pride for them because other than Me For Rent just Nofx and Turbonegro played twice times on three editions of this festival. At the end of september 2007 they finish the recordings of the album and grow up a furious mix of rock’n’roll, garage punk and alternative rock finally ratifying an evolution of style and sound that consolidate Me For Rent as one of the most promising italian rock band.
