Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rentokill formed in Newcastle in the late 1990s with Lee Nevison on vocals, Dave Trump on guitar, Paul Morrison on bass, and Richard Jobson on drums. They played alternative rock with a raw, unpolished sound that stood apart from what was on the pop charts at the time.
Their 2002 album 'Discontent Industry' gave the band its breakthrough, with the title track becoming something of an anthem. Songs like 'Recuerdos De Phoolan Devi' and 'The Political Aspect Of Unpolitical Thinking' tackled social and personal themes with direct, introspective lyrics. Their music resonated with listeners who felt disconnected from mainstream culture.
Rentokill's confrontational approach and refusal to soften their sound drew both dedicated fans and criticism from some quarters. They maintained a consistent voice through songs like 'Sounds Of A Pityful End,' keeping to their particular lane in alternative rock without chasing commercial trends.
