I’ve always been a fan of what I would consider one of America’s greatest rock bands and it became a no brainer when we mentioned ‘Renegade.’ Love Styx, love the song and we wanted to take that same world and bring it to where we are today.” The band received a great endorsement when Tommy Shaw was sent the video and said “Damn that’s smokin’, I approve”.
