The Band
Reno Divorce
Brent Loveday: Lead Vocals / Lead Guitar
Tye Battistella: Rhythm Guitar / Vocals
Nick Golding: Bass Guitar
Ruben Patino: Drums
With equal parts of Orange County punk rock, honky tonk country, and rockabilly swagger, Reno Divorce strikes a unique chord of their own with their brand of “Punk Rock’n’Roll”. The band’s longevity is proof positive that paying dues is the only way to the top.
The well-crafted and deftly executed songs that straddle the line between Smithereens and Social Distortion are the bread and butter for these guys, and one listen is all it takes to realize you’ve got a band that truly stands out amongst the herd. Oh, and there’s one more thing...this aint the boys’ first rodeo... going 10 years strong and gracing some of the most legendary bars and stages around the world, they’ve played with almost all their punk heroes (ALL, Social Distortion, TSOL, Adolescents, Agent Orange,The Queers , X, The Blasters, Motorhead), and shared a tour bus with more contemporary heavy hitters, a la U.S. Bombs, The Bones, and Street Dogs. They’ve worked with the cream of the crop behind the scenes, as well.
Their forthcoming record, “Lover’s Leap” was recorded by Blasting Room alumnus Felipe Patino and mixed and mastered at the legendary studio, as well, by Andrew Berlin and Jason Livermore (Rise Against, ALL, Descendents) respectively.
The record before that, “Tears Before Breakfast," received similar treatment, too. “Quality over quantity” is their mantra, and their four full-length releases attest to that. There’s no filler here. Instead, the boys find a way to up the ante with every record, growing musically with each outing without trading in their punk rock roots for the latest fad. Remember, these guys have to shave every morning, and bandwagon-jumping is one thing they’ll never be accused of.
With their European tours being handled by M.A.D. Booking in Europe, their following continues to grow with each trip and makes their next appearance anticipated. Among the many great festivals they’ve played, like “With Full Force”, "Speedfest", and “The Rock-n-Ink Fest," Reno Divorce has shown fans that they are just as at home on a massive stage as in a seedy, smokey dive. Always captivating live, and wrought with more hooks than your Uncle Bob’s tackle box, Reno Divorce has carved out a reputation as the real nitty-gritty, a true “musician’s band” that pushes the envelope with every release, without sounding contrived or formulated. Brent Loveday’s deft songwriting and clever storytelling are brought to life by the bands expert musicianship. With Loveday on lead guitar and vocals, Nick Golding on bass, Tye Battistella on rhythm guitar and Ruben Patino on the drums, the band fires on all cylinders and spares no one in their way.
"Their music is full steam ahead punk rock mixed with rockabilly and a little country twang thrown in for good measure, but it’s Brent’s guitar playing and voice that go a long way towards giving Reno Divorce their signature sound. That is not, I repeat, not to take away from the other guys. All four guys work together as a cohesive unit and lay down some fucking rad music.
-Tom Walsh, Interstate Live
."KKKK (out of 5)! The guitars are raw and low-slung, the vocals are a perfect mix of whiskey-sour kisses and brattish pout and sneer...an oddly-moving brand of punk rock that wears its cynical, discontented heart brazenly on its sleeve like a wrecked romantic. "
- Paul Travers, Kerrang!
"Reno Divorce - A pinch of skate rock and a spoon of country baked in a punk oven at 1000 degrees! Reno Divorce serves up some tasty, rockin tunes! Comn get it, before its all gone!"
- Kerry Martinez, US Bombs, The Bad Luck Charms, Shattered Faith
"A great album that sees through the bullshit. It restored my faith in mankind, and I don’t feel like killing everyone I meet. (he's take on the new release Lover's Leap)- Joe Queer – The Queers
"Hell yeah, the explosive sonic fury of Reno Divorce brings out the devil in me and makes me wanna drink and fuck and get downright dirty and nasty! If I were dictator for just one day, this would be a mandatory disc to be played loudly in each and every home...amen, motherfucker!"
