Renegades (Rage Against the Machine album)

Renegades (band)

Renegades were a British rock band (not to be confused with the sixties band The Renegades), which started out as a side-project from two members of the band Feeder, featuring guitarist Grant Nicholas and bassist Taka Hirose, before becoming a pseudonym name for Feeder themselves. Nicholas formed Renegades alongside Hirose with Karl Brazil from Ben's Brother, who completed the group and a 4-track EP was then recorded. Soon later, Renegades became an alternative name for Feeder at various concerts where they would play an entire show pretending not to be Feeder, but a different band with the same members. If Feeder songs released before the Renegades album were to be played, the band would announce that they're covering Feeder songs. Grant Nicholas once introduced "Tangerine" as "A cover of a song from a band we know".

The idea was created when Feeder parted company with drummer Mark Richardson who returned to his previous band Skunk Anansie. Brazil was initially contracted with the band to assist them on their June dates playing various university events, before then playing the UK leg of the Sonisphere Festival. He was however recording with the band alongside Mexicolas drummer Tim Trotter, before the idea came about to use a selection of the tracks for the 'Renegades' project. The tracks originally intended for the side-project were soon used for the seventh Feeder album Renegades. The side-project was as a result used as a method to promote the Renegades album at live shows where they would mainly play the new songs, thus avoiding having to play any of their hits if they played as Feeder.

On the first of January 2010, a four-day countdown timer was added to the band's official website. As the countdown was completed on 6 January 2010, the title-track for the EP, "Renegades" was released as a free download as well as a package containing the limited edition EP, Renegades shirt, badge set and an e-ticket for one of the six shows available. The Renegades EP was the first release on the band's own record label, before being followed-up by a second EP. Feeder also used the Renegades name for their Sonisphere 2010 appearance, which was their last show using this name and also their tour of Japan in July of the same year. The track "Renegades" was re-released, but this time as a Feeder single instead of Renegades and was also on vinyl and download only. As Renegades was technically a separate band from Feeder, Renegades became the first ever British band in history to sell out at least one gig without releasing any material commercially.

Renegades (Feeder song)

"Renegades" is a song by Feeder, released as the group's second single from their seventh album Renegades in 2010. The track started off life as a recording released under their Renegades side-project, with its release being on their first EP before then being included on the Feeder Renegades album. This single is also the only one to be released from Renegades that features any new material, with this being the B-side "Sending Out Waves". "Fallen", the B-side on "Call Out" started off life as a free download for anybody who purchased the second Renegades EP.

Renegades (Feeder album)

Renegades is the seventh studio album by the British rock band Feeder. It was released on July 5, 2010. It was the first in a proposed series of two albums to be released in 2010 by the band, before its follow-up was delayed until 2012. It is also the first studio album not to be released on The Echo Label, and also their first since 2001's Echo Park not to feature drummer Mark Richardson, who left the band the previous year.

The album features a heavier musical style reminiscent of the band's 1997 debut studio album Polythene, and features primarily electric guitars, abandoning acoustic-driven songs that dominated their previous two albums. The album was promoted in early 2010 with a series of gigs under the name Renegades, with the shows serving to showcase songs that would be on the new album. The name change was done as Grant Nicholas considered it to be "a band within Feeder" and therefore wished to avert expectations from fans for the band to play their older hit songs.

The album was moderately well received in Britain, charting at number 16, making it the first time since their 1997 debut Polythene that the band failed to reach the top 10 with a new studio album. However, this was considered a success by the band considering it was released on their own label and not on the major Echo Label, and was therefore self-funded and promoted on a much smaller scale. Frontman Grant Nicholas said "I’m quite proud of what we’ve achieved on just a very small scale on a tiny little label". "Call Out", "Renegades", "This Town" and "Down to the River" were all released as singles, with the last two released as a double A-sided set.

A series of photos consisting of Feeder's fans were included in the album's inlay artwork. Each fan was asked to send in a picture of themselves wearing a Renegades t-shirt behind a white background.
