Hailing from the Midwest, Rented Rooms started when Rich Fessler of Bear Claw reached out to Chris Metcalf of The Life and Times after he moved to Chicago from Kansas City to see if he wanted to start a band together. After Rich and Chris hashed out ideas for a bit Scott Picco was added into the fold on bass. Taking influence of 90's midwest rock and elements of shoegaze, Rented Rooms takes it's sound in it's own direction.
