Bio - May 2013

Birthed some 18 months ago on the streets of West End, Spent Rent are a rambunctious collection of high-energy clowns, who’s intent is to enslave you with their infectious metal and sampled-based grooves and punk-rock ethos.

On stage, they deliver a rapid-fire show that straddles political bias with satirical commentary all presented with tongues firmly planted in their collective cheeks.

A string of support gigs at: Tempo, Beetle Bar, West End Block Party Festival, Mustang Bar (now 633 Ann), Coniston Lane, Kings Beach Tavern, Yeronga and Cooparoo RSLs lead to a memorable Sunday evening headline gig at West End’s The Waiting Room that had punters hanging from the rafters for a good posse.

Supports have included: Le Murd, Lords Of Wong, Astroboi, Grandma's Basement, Pastel Blaze, The Busymen, Dirty Eastwoods and Heroin SS.

The Styles brothers (Adam - vocals; Luke - lead guitar, didgeridoo) are the ying & yang of Spent Rent — both hyperactive forces that when harnessed in the right manner provide undeniable chemistry. Snaketree powers the pulsating, yet menacing drums that entwines the Spent Rent work ethic. Benjamin Stewart (Accomplished Duck, The O‘Vines) adds plenty of funky muscle on bass, with the group rounded out by Abel Savige — a man who loves his guitars and electronics!

With a new two-track release (‘Bad Egg / Styles Boy’) to peddle to discerning ears, Spent Rent are preparing for more time in the studio to whet their appetite for the road.
