Brooklyn-based musician/producer Rena, set to release her debut EP ‘Rude Chick’ on May 6th, is not somebody you want to mess with: "Rock and roll was always what spoke to me the most,” she explains. "That’s what this record is for me- POWER!, I love the raw energy of the riot grrrl movement and female rock in general." The recently released title track showcases a sound that’s part hip hop and part industrial (the arrangement reminds us of the pervasive ditortion of NIN’s ‘Broken’ EP), whie first single ‘Symptom of Youth’ (streaming below) is a spoken word celebration of partying soon exploding into a chorus that blends shoegazer with noise rock – in the most pop way possible.
