| From Ripsaw. July, 2003. (U.S.) High 5 Top Five Weekly Picks These guys are rockers with a capital “R.” What can you say about a band that has been described as the next Social Distortion and has played with the likes of Reverend Horton Heat, (&) ALL . . . Good things, we expect. – Christopher Selleck From Creative Loafing. July, 2003. (U.S.) Music Menu This punk band from Denver, CO, takes unashamed cues from Mike Ness and Social Distortion. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that if you can deliver the car crash that is Mike Ness. For the most part these youngsters sustain the speed and ole Mike wouldn't be disappointed jamming with them. With Charlotte's own Drat. Fat City. - Shukla From Westword. June, 2003. (U.S.) Hit Pick Gravelly vocals and grinding guitars copulate with a rhythm section that sounds like a cheap motel’s headboard banging against a wall, as Reno Divorce delivers the kind of music you’ll need to have a cigarette after. The outfit, formed by singer/guitarist and Florida transport Brent Loveday, in his native Orlando, was reconstituted in 2000 and now includes drummer Andrew Erich and bassist Todd Grow. The Divorcees have primed stages for the likes of Reverend Horton Heat, the Dead Kennedys, Wire, and The Pavers. The latter’s lead singer, ex-ALL frontman Scott Reynolds, handpicked the group to open on The Paver’s 2001 tour. The three-piece will be playing two sets this Friday, June 13, in support of its upcoming disc salted for release later this month, You’re Only Making It Worse . . . – Catalina Soltero From Westword. September, 2002. (U.S.) Backwash column In about a week, members of Denver’s Reno Divorce will board a jetliner bound for Europe, the start of a journey to a very specific destination: a storage locker in Brussels. That’s where they’ll pick up a booty of gear- instruments and the like on loan from their friends in ALL, who store the stuff overseas for European tours- for use on their own overseas tour. ALL’s been through the international routine enough times to know a few tricks of the trade. For Reno Divorce, however, many aspects of the upcoming month-long jaunt across the Continent have come as a surprise. “We were talking to our booking agent over there, and he was asking us what kind of catering we wanted,” says drummer Andrew Erich. “We were like, ‘Who are we? Bon Jovi?’” . . . Reno Divorce will perform all over Germany, as well as in the Netherlands and England, where its record label, Boss Tuneage, is located. The band decided to hop the pond as much to promote its latest record, Naysayers And Yesmen, which has European distribution, as to simply schlep around the Old Country. “When we were first talking about, we were like, ‘Oh, yes, it really makes sense from a business point of view,” Erich says. “But I think each of us was like, ‘Hell yeah- we’re going to Europe!.” . . . – Laura Bond From Colorado Springs Independent. September, 2002. (U.S.) Playing Around Feature From Denver, by way of Orlando, FL., comes Reno Divorce, a rock n’ roll band- minus the “white boy jock rock, whiney ballads or prepackaged, homogenized ‘punk rock.’” Reno’s music relies on Bad Religion rumination and Social Distortion sentiment to hammer home songs about regret and pain, etched out for all to hear in their full-length debut album, Naysayers And Yesmen. And though their influences are apparent, at least their influences are good. (After all, they could’ve been into P.Diddy.) See the guys play . . . before they out on a brief European tour. – Brandon Laney |
