Pumping out fast and melodic guitar-driven punk,
Rehasher were born sometime around 2002 in the depths of Gainesville, FL, simply as a more formal excuse for the bandmembers to hang out, drink, and play music together.
Less Than Jake bassist
Roger Manganelli shared guitar and vocal duties with
Ryan Geis (just call him
Geis, please), and the two were completed by drummer
Jake Crown and bassist
Gui Amador. In addition to
Less Than Jake, the guys represented plenty of time logged in other bands, including
Army of Ponch,
Bullets to Broadway, and
Savage Brewtality. With no set time frame in mind -- and no intentions of making
Rehasher a full-time gig -- they leisurely wrote and recorded an album in between their other commitments. The resulting
Off Key Melodies appeared in the fall of 2004 via local imprint No Idea Records. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide
