randy

Randy is a punk rock band from Hortlax, Sweden, formed in 1992. They were first inspired by skate punk bands like NOFX and Propagandhi but after the release of The Rest Is Silence and the depart of their bass player Patrik Trydvall, they radically changed their musical style and adopted an older sound reminiscent of Thin Lizzy, The Misfits and Ramones. In 2000, they were signed by Burning Heart, a sub label to Epitaph. So far, they have released six albums. The latest album is called Randy the Band. Randy have been dropped from Burning Heart Records and are currently seeking a new label to release a new album during summer 2009^[1].
