Bio:
Bandinfo.
Blasting intense Punk Rock with a political and powerful message, Austria's very own RENTOKILL have been almost constantly on tour since their inception. There is always a tasty note of individuality and progression in their music. With fast and exact drumming, striking melodies and hard driven guitars flowing aggressively along under the well thought out socio-political lyrics and the vocalist's characteristic rasping voice. Nothing but raw emotion and catchy punk-rock, and their fifteen song studio album "back to convenience" captures it perfectly.
Speaking of "back to convenience", the album got originally released through Rise Or Rust Records from Graz/Austria on CD and through Broken Heart Records from Bruck/Leitha/Austria on orange colored, transparent vinyl. Broken Heart Records is a subsidiary of the well known Austrian punkrock mailorder TEENAGE RIOT.
Formed in the mid-90s, and influenced by artists such as 7 Seconds, Rich Kids On LSD, Good Riddance, Bad Religion, NOFX, and Strike Anywhere, RENTOKILL, "Band Of The Month December" at the 2004 Europunk.net voting, is one of the few recognized upcoming austrian acts who were able to score a record contract. Their catalogue includes two self released EPs, their critically acclaimed debut full length album "back to convenience" and appearances on over 15 punk compilations including Go Kart Record's "Liberating Music", Titus Tunes 3, Europunk.net Compilation Vol.2, and Vitaminepillen Record's "Millenium Madness Vol.4"
Due to the fact that the record got received very well by the audience and the magazines, RENTOKILL took the opportunity to switch labels and to re-release "back to convenience" through VITAMINEPILLEN RECORDS from Germany and through ENGINEER RECORDS from the UK, who also got a branch in New Jersey, US of A.
Again, writing of "back to convenience" De HEIDEROOSJES vocalist Marc0 Roelofs said, "The album is pretty cool. The sound is powerful, the songs are interesting. American influenced and rockin'!". Furthermore, the well known German punkrock magazine "Plastic Bomb" said that "RENTOKILL is one of the best bands coming from Austria!". Europunk.net is thrilled by the release, stating that "RENTOKILL is all about bringing fast-fuelled pumped-up anthemic punkrock with an angry attitude, yet steered in a positive direction. The 15 songs on display are all very powerfull, and come across with a lot of enthusiasm, pretty much in a straight-in-your face approach. This is a tight, fast-paced but mostly an impressing debut full-length from a band who clearly have everything well under control and even find the time to try and get a political and social message across in a very positive and earnest-sounding way."
In 2005 alone, RENTOKILL did a 3 week lasting full headlining tour across the United Kingdom, followed by a tour through Holland. On top of that, they supported Against Me!, Waterdown, Red Lights Flash, Antimaniax, Terrorgruppe, Sommerset, Venerea, Fabulous Disaster, Elvis Jackson, Antillectual, Multiball and countless other not so well known bands. In the past few years, RENTOKILL have also performed in Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Slovenia, Hungary, Italy and played some festivals like the legendary "Donauinselfestival " in Vienna, No Border Jam in Maribor (Slo), The Orto Punk Festival in Ljubljana (Slo), Fat Music Festival in Germany and several smaller Festivals throughout Europe.
