Renaissance-The Men behind the Music

Renaissance-Four lads who've embraced out of the brooding moores of the city of Leeds, at currently 22 years of age, they have really started to take the music industry by storm of recent date, the flamboyant band with cultured with the typical 'giving it big' on stage esque and when performing live Frontman Liam Lennon enjoys working the crowd in a similar fashion to Damon Albarn and attpemts to prance around the stage like a man on a mission searching for his lost ark. If not then he will be jammin' out on his guitar in the style Paul Weller would when playing with The Jam in 1980.

They've drawn inspiration from these artists as well as other iconic figures from the past, and feel confident they can become the next big act in the long line of greats from The Beatles to Oasis, as well as taking inspiration fron m other bands who never reached their full potential such as Super Furry Animals and The Charaltans, and inspire to go a step further and reach their potential and become the 'biggest' band in Britain.

They made their music breakthrough among music fans when they completed a full tour supporting Manchester outfit and large inspirations 'The Courteeners' who also critically acclaimed 'Renaissance' and because of this success more the band signed up to record label 'Independiente Records' and released their first EP with recieved positive views and got a good reaction from critcs. Renassisance then started to get a reputation within the music industy and later that year Renaissance released their debut album, 'Alone we Stand' which lived up to expectations and entered at number 5 in the British album Charts. Renaissance followed this by completing their first headline playing dates around the academies of Britain, plus gigs around Europe and America.

Since then Renaissance have gone back into the studio having signed a lucrative deal with Polydor Records to create a follow up to 'Alone we Stand'. This could be the make or break moment for Liam and his boy's...Renaissance, are we looking at the future of music?
