About Me |
|
Le Reno Amps were born of sorrow in the North East of Scotland. In 2004 they moved south to Glasgow to spread their joyous word, play lots of shows and write lots of songs. Nothing ever came so quickly that they could say that it was easy, but here they are ready to tickle your listening lobes. Scott Maple and Al Nero formed Le Reno Amps with the simple premise that every song they write should stand up to the test whether it played on an old beaten up acoustic guitar or with a full band behind them. “We try to write songs with all the fat cut off so you can savour their buttery goodness.” says Scott. The music has a broad appeal, and Le Reno Amps have had successful supports for acts as diverse as Michael Marra, The Rakes, Sons And Daughters, Brakes, King Creosote, Arab Strap and The Stranglers. Le Reno Amps music can be bracketed as indie, some say power pop, some say alt-country, the important thing to remember is Le Reno Amps are not high brow; they are in fact the lowest brow. These three men and a little lady operate so far out of fashion they stand-alone and shimmer with a grandiose beauty. By the way, ‘Le Reno Amp’ is nothing more than an anagram of ‘Maple’ and ‘Nero’, so don’t question the name too deeply. ______________________________________________________ "They're rooted in the blues with a punk aesthetic, but veer boldly into country balladry and sexually-explicit punk numbers" The Herald. "..a shifting of pace and style that sets them aside from obvious comparisons e.g. White Stripes or Sons and Daughters" Is This Music? "Country-Punk with a smidgeon of Power-Pop. It's like the Everly Brothers teaming up with The Pixies, whilst Tom Waits and Weezer try and get a word in" Vic Galloway, 'Air' Radio Scotland. "Le Reno Amps plough three-part harmonies into Beatles-esque chord changes and some Billy Bragg observations, combining it all in a series of ebbing verses and bouncy choruses" Comes With A Smile Fanzine. "songwriting genius delivered casually by the rock-solid. Awash with geniune aural bounce and spidered optimism - we're involved" Matt 'awfa fat face' Eaton, Actress Hands. ______________________________________________________ *******Wound Up: PROMO VIDEO******* Directed by our very own Jase 'the snake' Roberts:) ______________________________________________________ |
