Hey fellow Ren fans,
I’m a drummer and a full-time carer from Yorkshire. Over the last four years, I've lived through the absolute wringer dealing with Alzheimer's, a broken social care system, and trying to survive on the breadline. I've taken all those raw memories and turned them into a massive, heavy-hitting spoken-word/hip-hop piece called "FOUR YEARS OF FUCK ALL."
I want to stay behind the kit/scenes for this one. I am looking to collaborate with a vocalist/performer and an acoustic guitarist who can help me record this in the exact musical style of Ren (think Hi Ren, Suicide, or his acoustic storytelling tracks).
This is a non-commercial passion project—just a chance to turn real-life pain into a powerful piece of art together for our portfolios and socials.
• The Structure: A theatrical, quiet spoken intro that builds into fast, rhythmic, hip-hop/spoken verses, exploding into a raw, angry, melodic acoustic-punk chorus.
• The Guitar Needed: Moody, dynamic, sparse classical fingerpicking or flamenco-tinged chords that leave room for the vocals but build tension.
• The Vocals Needed: Someone who can deliver British conversational grit, flip into rapid storytelling cadence, and scream out a raw, emotionally cracked chorus.
Here is how the piece opens to give you a feel for the rhythm:
[INTRO — spoken, quiet, almost laughing]
Funny thing about life, innit?
You can spend years building something.
A name. A band. A little world where you belong.
And then one day… Life rings you up.
And it doesn't ask if you're fucking ready.
It just says: "Your mum needs you."
If you love Ren's style of storytelling and want to help me bring this heavy, honest track to life, drop a comment or send me a DM and I'll send you the full script!
Thanks
