"Renegades reneges on its title – it feels like an uninventive continuum."

Album Review: Feeder - 'Renegades' (Big Teeth Music) Feeder Tickets
Those that hungered for another offering from the Welsh outfit may want to eat their words
If one thing marks Feeder out from other bands, it’s the distorted vocal echo they execute so… often. Beyond that it’s unfathomable how a band so ineffably naff can summon the brass neck to keep making preposterously charmless records without shame or contrition. ‘White Lines’ judders to life with a jarring groove, though hope is soon lost as Grant Nicholas tosses off further formulaic lyrical drivel that must mean nothing to nobody. ‘Sentimental’ is a Stone Temple Pilots tribute act from Farnborough, and ‘This Town’ is ‘The Time Warp’ spilling New Model Army’s pint at a ’90s disco. ‘Renegades’ my ass.
