About Me |
|
| Definitely not for the faint-hearted, we combine stripped-down punk basics with ass-shaking keyboard grooves and apocalyptic build-ups. Someone else said it best: "Imagine Polvo fronted by Kim Gordon and you might have a sense of NYC trio Renminbi's sound. . . . Pitting frenetic drumbeats against postrock keyboards and angular guitar, Renminbi retain all the concision without losing an ounce of urgency." | |
