UK Newcomers Renegade Twelve are destined to rise from the underground, as they release their hugely compelling self-titled debut album, out in stores on Friday 27th January 2017. For now, we grilled the guys with some questioning…..
What is the full band line up?
Sam Robson-Lead vocals, Jacob Mayes, Dan potter- Dual lead guitars, Josh Barnard – Bass guitar, and Jack Mcsloy – Percussion.
How did the band form?
Renegade Twelve is a band formed on strong friendship and the desire to play our favourite kind of music. For years Jacob Dan, Jack and Josh had played together in a casual fashion on and off through school and during their teens and it was/is our dream and vision to write and perform original music.
When and how did the band really start gelling and solidifying?
When the original songs in our set were gained traction. Then the prospect of recording an album was fully accepted and the trajectory and velocity of the band increased dramatically.
What are your musical influences?
Iron maiden, Metallica, Pantera, Yngwie Malmsteen, Avenged Sevenfold, Slash
If a deaf person were to ask you to describe the sound of your music, how would you describe the band?
Imagine roaring along a dirt track in a muscle car and then suddenly gliding through the air over a jump then bang back down to the ground.
