Notable_instruments =Rene SG is a Dutch band from Amsterdam. The band was founded by guitar player Rene in the beginning of
2004 . He was joined by drummer RJ SG and Swedish bassplayer Kalle Mattsson in making the debut, simply titled "Rene SG" which was released early2006 by Langweiligkeit Records as their first ever release. After this album Kalle left Rene SG. Bassplayer Niels stepped in to insure the continuance of the tight trinity that is Rene SG.This line-up recorded the follow up "Rene SG 2" with metalproducer Berthus Westerhuis (known as producer for Dutch metalband
God Dethroned ) in2007 . Also this album was released by Langweiligkeit Records and received cricital acclaim.Rene SG are known for their ultrashort and very intense blitzkrieg
speedrock shows. Their songs take around 60 seconds or less, with lyrics consisting only of stripped down to the bone rock-'n-roll yells like 'Fuck You' and 'Go To Hell'. References are being made toThe Ramones andPiet Mondrian . As the reviewer for Dutch underground magazine Up Magazine describes it: "Tasty godless songs like "This Sucks", "Fucking Hell", "Go To Hell", "Ride Hell For Leather" and anti-romantic fuckrock like "Go Fuck Yourself", "Fucking" en "Fucked Up" make this album one of the most original and ubertight records made by a Dutch band in recent years."Rene SG has played over one hundred fifty gigs in
the Netherlands ,Belgium andGermany .Quotes on Rene SG
"It seems to go even faster when RENE SG ascends the speedrock throne. Armed with the authentic Gibson-model, superheavy powerchords and yells like Fuck You, Fucking Hell and To Hell With You, the unwritten laws for popsongs are being swept off the floor, wrapped up in ultrashort songs." - VPRO 3voor12
"Rene SG played their speedpunk in SUCH a brilliant, minimal way that they made the Ramones sound like Queen" - PickUp Club
"Fucking great, hell yeah!" - Lucky Rotterdam (Oor Magazine)
