Aotearoa New Zealand-South Africa band The Transits are back with their edgy new single ‘Renegade Hearts’, out today!
Packed with infectious synth hooks, stacked vocals and a driving rhythm section with an addictive pulse, ‘Renegade Hearts’ is a rock-infused punk anthem written for all the outcasts.
“Renegade Hearts’ is a song for those who feel like they don’t fit in,” says The Transits. “Because trying to be someone you’re not never really works out – and life isn’t about that, anyway. It’s about celebrating your true self – all of it. For all the quirks, and all the chaos. Now is the time to be the renegade and feel good about it.”
Today’s single comes after their recently released smash debut single ‘When You Went Away’; a track which reached #19 on the Aotearoa RadioScope Alternative Chart, and is currently sitting at #9 on the South African Top 40 Chart.
Ryan Lunn (vocals, guitars, synths), Dom Antelme (vocals, bass) and Tyrone Smith (drums) recorded their parts of the track in their respective studios across Auckland and South Africa, before sending it all to Ryan in Durban, South Africa where he mixed and mastered the track. ‘Renegade Hearts’ is a track integral to who The Transits are as a band; representing where they’ve come from.
