Hamilton’s The Retroaction admit they are inspired by past genres of music, and claim to be “The bastard sons of Rock N’ Roll, Rhythm & Blues, and Garage Rock. All wrapped up in loud music and mod suits.” And not only are they “bastard” children of old-school rock, but they are the result of an oddly timed introduction:
“[Keith] met Ron Lang when I went to the ending of a bachelorette party. Ron was the male stripper these girls hired. He commented on my John Lennon shirt and after chatting we ended up liking a lot of the same bands: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who. The Beatles being Ron’s favorite group, he really wanted to jam with us. After my old band fell apart, Ron and I decided to try out new people and see if we could take our sound in a fresh direction”.
With the release of their debut single “Little Strange”, there is an undeniable presence of their favourite bands in their music, living up to the “retro” aspect of their name. However, the rock n’ roll four piece do intend to bring their sound and style into the 21st century, sharing their newly released 360 music video.
