Details:
Four men, one giant sound. The Washington D.C. quartet called Rezin has been making music since 1992, but it may be 2006 that the hard-rocking band finally starts to break out onto the national scene.
For the past seven years, the current lineup of Pete Swindler (guitar,
vocals), Andy Hughes (guitar), Jon Blank (bass) and Matt Collazo (drums) has
been getting its chops right. Aim Lower is where they will start to soar.

Armed with intimate lyrics, intertwining guitars and a bombastic rhythm
section, Rezin raises the roof in 2006 with the release of their fourth full-length CD, the powerful "Aim Lower".

The Washington, D.C. quartet of Pete Swindler (guitar, vocals), Andy Hughes
(guitar), Jon Blank (bass) and Matt Collazo (drums) has been together for
seven years, and it shows. Swindler and Hughes seamlessly trade licks behind
Swindlerâs substantive vocals. Collazo is a hard hitter, making a big sound
on the skins, while Blank brings in a variety of styles to complete the wall
of driving blues-based hard rock.

"I definitely think thereâs been a progression, Swindler said of the band's
time together. Now we sound more like one instrument than a band."

And that instrument creates a distinct sound apparent on their previous
releases: Stanley (1998), Summer of the Brain Dead Everyone (2000) and
Everything Happens (2004). While their albums are top-notch, the band really
shines in a live setting, where its individual members have more room to
freestyle and play off each otherâs strengths.

Heavy. Organic. Melodic. Persistent. Intimate. Creative. Texture. Powerful.
True .

These are words that have been used to describe Rezin, a four-piece hard
rock band hailing from Washington D.C. that will be tearing down a bar near
you very soon. With four albums, including the recently-released âAim
Lower, fans know what theyâre getting when they come to see Rezin live: Not
only will they be challenged by Pete Swindlerâs provocative lyrics and
powerful guitar interplay with Andy Hughes, but their ears may bleed from
the driving rhythm section of bassist Jon Blank and drummer Matt Collazo.

Rezin rocks. In fact, the band tears it up on its albums and absolutely
shreds live performances. Keep an eye on local listings for a concert near
you or pick up one of their albums: You wonât be disappointed.
