Retsecrow(s) – pronounced ret-see-crows. It’s Worcester spelt backwards and because there are four of them, it had to be plural. The name isn’t the only distinctive thing about these kids from Wyre Forest in Worcestershire. With a mix of dirty metal and guitar-driven rock covers these kids are happiest playing in front of a live audience; there’s a good chance they’ll drop some originals into their set too. The band features the remarkable talents of Luca on vocals and guitar, defying his age at just 13 years old. Joining him are Alexie, a bass prodigy at 15; Ollie, 16, wields the lead guitar, while George, also 15, keeps the thunderous rhythm alive. They formed in July 2022 and played their first gig at a festival in Bewdley, Worcestershire in September 2022. More gigs and a radio appearance followed through 2023 and they continued to write original songs together and develop their sound. In March 2024 they released their first single Grief Of Me on all major music streaming platforms and followed this up in September 2024 with their second single, Blood Sea. On Spotify alone the band have amassed over 12,000 streams. They continue to play live all over the West Midlands and Worcestershire and blow audiences away with a sound that respects the legacy of rock and metal music in the West Midlands, the home of metal. Too young to drive, but old enough to shred – Retsecrows are the future of metal and rock! 🗣 *“Retsecrows are proving that age is no barrier to bringing serious power to the stage.”* – [Metal For Good] 🗣 *“One of the most exciting young bands on the UK rock scene right now.”* – [Local Music Press] 🗣 *“For a band comprising such young musicians, this is an exciting few minutes of beyond-their-years attitude and professionalism, a bit of swagger and sneer, and a cookin’ little track.”* – [Steve Beebee, Kerrang! Magazine on their second single, Blood Sea]
