Ren and the Rudeboys is an Australian reggae/roots band from Wollongong, New South Wales, known for their laid-back yet rebellious blend of dub, ska, and rock influences. Formed as a three-piece, the group features members Ren Steele, Lachlan Green, and Jaben Betz. Their sound is heavily inspired by “rudegirl” and “rudeboy” culture, combining reggae grooves with punk attitude and youthful energy. Musically, Ren and the Rudeboys fuse elements of reggae, roots, and ska with touches of alternative rock, drawing comparisons to acts like Sublime and No Doubt. Their songs often reflect themes of angst, individuality, and carefree rebellion, delivered through catchy rhythms and relaxed vocal styles. The band has released a number of singles including *“Where I Want to Be”* (2019), *“Flourish”* (2020), and *“That Be My Name”* (2025), steadily building a presence in Australia’s independent music scene and performing at local live venues and events.
