Hear The Sirens

about

Originally formed in 2006, Hear The Sirens probably shouldn’t be a band today. The Livermore, CA-based punk rockers parted ways in the middle of 2008, going off on their own paths. Some members went to school; others went to tour with other bands. Either way, that incarnation of Hear The Sirens was dead. But when vocalist/guitarist Scott Goodrich, bassist Travis Pacheco, guitarist Nick Gonzalez and drummer Paul Wiseman decided to get back together for some jam sessions in 2011, the band reformed unexpectedly. “We didn't think we wanted to be a band again, just wanted to jam around and play shows with our friends,” Pacheco says. “But we kept writing songs we really enjoyed, so we decided to start it up again.” The reunion of Hear The Sirens led to a two-song 7” release via Anchor 84 Records in 2011, followed up by the band’s most powerful full length, Renegade, on September 25, 2012. On Renegade, Hear The Sirens draws from California’s East Bay punk-rock sound. With nasally vocals, catchy melodies, power chords aplenty and frantic drumming, Renegade is a 12-track joyride of Green Day, Rancid, Mr. T Experience-esque pop-punk, causing listeners to reminisce of a time when the genre was punk-first, pop-second. Don’t get me wrong, Renegade is enormously accessible. From the opening “Last Call Love,” with its jaunty guitar riff and huge drum fills, to the bass-led “Figure It Out” and explosive “Bad Excuses,” Renegade is an in-your-face, no-frills take on a genre that could use
