New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ REND official website) Picture a dash of Metric, a scoop of Coldplay, a layer of
Paramore topped off with The
Cranberries along with driving rhythms, Zeppelin worthy guitar solos, synth pop hook lines, and dynamic, soulful vocals and you get yourself Edmonton, AB's electrifying REND. Coming off their Canadian
Music Week performances in Toronto, ON this past week, the pop rockers are proud to announce the release of their new EP 'Battlecry' out today, March 26th.

Founded in 2010 by lead singer/songwriter Carol-Lynne Quinn, these past 3 years have been an incredible journey for the band. 2012 was a whirlwind of activity with a recent nomination at this year's Edmonton
Music Awards for 'Female Artist of The Year' plus multiple performances in Toronto at classic venues like Cherry Cola's, The Hideout, and the Bovine Sex Club for Indie
Music Week Canada, and opening for
Faber Drive on the Edmonton installment of the Lost in Paradise tour.
Rend's vision is to bring musical and lyrical substance to their music. Whether it's the anthem like chorus in "Battlecry" or the unique blend of soulful vocals and electric guitar in "
Monster", Rend is fresh, energy filled, and inspiring. Last year's debut single "Hide" from 'No Lines' was released to radio in March 2012 and received Canadian wide radio play climbing the top 100 Rock Charts.
For such a fresh band they have already caught the attention and support of many.
Sandra Sperounes from the Edmonton Journal commented "One of Edmonton's newest - and fiercest - pop-rock bands. "Quinn" might just be the next great voice to come out of Canada."
Kevin Mainmann from the Edmonton Examiner commented on their debut "No Lines is drenched in powerful melodies anchored by Carol-Lynne's vocal acrobatics, with hints of soul weaving into potent radio-rock hooks." To put it simply Rend is four passionate people who love music, people, and putting on a great show.
