The band then took to the road and gigged whenever and wherever they could all over the country. They supported major labels acts and began to gather a large fan base in the north of England. They decided they should create a music video for their song, Girls From Birkenhead, and enlisted the help of Matt Littler to direct the video. The band would need a lot of extras for the video and in the true spirit of the DIY attitude that has characterised the band from the begining they personally phoned every one of 80 extras to give them the details of when they would be needed for the shoot.... and then did it all over again because the director rescheduled after the last person had been called!
The shoot went well, the video was well received and it helped the band tremendously to promote themselves to a wider audience. It has currently had 34,100 plays on Youtube and has appeared on several digital TV channels. The momentum built by their own hard work and refusal to let things get in the way of what they want to achieve meant that the band became a regular headliner at the Carling Academy in Liverpool.
In the summer of 2008 the band took some time to re group and take a look at how they wanted to take the band forward musically. During this time they played a show at the Edinburgh Festival but were mainly concentrating on the fundamentals of what kind of songs and sound they wanted. After months of experimenting they came back with a bang. Their new improved powerful rock sound combined with the infectious melody, honest songwriting and energetic live show they had perfected before combined to create an altogether more complete and impressive outfit.
The band are currently recording material for release soon and booking gigs and festival dates all over the country....

GK & The Renegades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't want to see it I put it to bed
Always get back to where it lead
I wonder why I can't listen to what I said
Take another ride on the 3am lookin for what I need it's easy
Do it again do it again you know what I'm gonna do can't believe it
Hey ya this one's out of control
Why don't you tell me all the things you know
Why don't you come to me with something to show
I take my time I do my part just to get right through the day
All I want is for you to listen to what I say now
Take another ride on the 3am lookin for what I need It's easy
Do it again do it again you know what I'm gonna do can't believe it
Hey ya this one's out of control
Hey ya this one's out of control
Take another ride on the 3am lookin for what I need it's easy
Do it again do it again you know what i'm gonna do can't believe it
Hey ya this one's out of control
Hey ya this one's out of control
Hey ya this one's out of control
Hey ya this one's out of control
In "Out of Control" by GK & The Renegades, the lyrics explore the singer's internal struggles and their desperate search for something they need. The opening lines set the tone, as the singer admits to avoiding confronting certain thoughts or issues, instead burying them and trying to move on. However, they find themselves continually circling back to where those thoughts originated from, questioning why they can't seem to heed their own advice.
The repetition of the phrase "Take another ride on the 3am" suggests a pattern of late-night introspection or self-reflection. The late hour represents a time of vulnerability and the search for something meaningful or fulfilling. The singer acknowledges that this search is not always easy, yet they are compelled to repeat it, unable to believe the repetitive nature of their actions. This repetition implies a cycle of dissatisfaction or unmet desires that the singer can't seem to break free from.
The plea for someone to share their wisdom or experiences in the line "Why don't you tell me all the things you know" suggests a desire for guidance or connection. The singer longs for someone who can bring something new into their life, someone who can provide inspiration or a different perspective. However, despite their attempts to navigate their own journey, the singer finds solace in expressing themselves and their thoughts, hoping for someone to listen and understand their words.
Ultimately, the repetition of the phrase "Hey ya, this one's out of control" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's sense of chaos and feeling overwhelmed by their own emotions or circumstances. It serves as a way to express their frustration and confusion, highlighting the intense internal struggle they are facing. Despite the turmoil, they can't help but continue on their quest, searching for what they need, even if they can't fully comprehend it themselves.
