Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar and Upright Bass but it’s the 2 and 3 part harmonies and varied lead vocals that give The Rechords it’s individuality and punch. Known for their live performance energy on stage and hypnotic melodies and infectious rhythms. The songs are as eclectic as the members that write them and it’s what forms the bands uniqueness and sound which, if needed, would be best described as Americana . They’ve been influenced by Old Timey Hillbilly, Bluegrass, alternative Country, Traditional Rockabilly with hints of the classic vocal groups of the 60’s and even a twist of pop vibes.
The trio have worked hard since 2009, building quite a strong local and evergrowing overseas following, performing in the realm of over 500+ shows. They can thrive in a small pub or feel just as comfortable gracing the festival stages, like Falls Festival, Meredith Music Festival, Gympie Music Muster & the Wave Rock Weekender to name a few. They’ve completed two successful self-funded European tours, one in 2011 and the other in 2013 both consisting of about 10 shows each including 2 major roots festivals each tour and are about to embark on their third European Tour this July-August (2018) for 4 weeks. With their overseas tours and constant online promotion and exposure they have followers in Spain, Germany, Austria, Nederlands, Belgium, France, UK and many states throughout the USA which helped them win the Best Roots/Country EP Category 2014on the Independent Music Awardswebsite with their 4 track EP titled ‘It Won’t Be Long’.
Their discography includes 2 full albums, debut album titled‘On The Wagon’released in 2010 and their ‘Live Rechording’ album was released in early 2015, along with a couple of singles over the years and a 4 track 7 inch Vinyl ‘Bottom Of The Barrel’ released on Spanish label, El Toro Records in 2012.
