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 it was easy, but here they are at the beginning of a new year about to release their debut single, ‘Wound Up’.
‘Recorded by Kevin Key, Wound Up’ is a high-energy; bounce along pop song if ever there was one. Clocking in at exactly 3 minutes it has all the right ingredients. Driving rhythm, chugging guitars, stabbing organ and harmonious vocals.
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 and write songs with all the fat cut off so you can savour their buttery goodness” says Scott.
Le Reno Amps music can be bracketed as indie, some say power pop, others 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 shine with a majestic 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.
