At first, Tim Trotter then of Mexicolas was filling in on drum duties in the studio also as a session drummer, before Karl stepped in. With Karl playing drums for Robbie Williams , Natalie Imbruglia and Ben’s Brother, Tim once again took over drum duties in the studio. On 2 December, the band’s official webpage was changed to display the word “RENEGADES” and the names of each of the band members by their surname, with “BRAZIL” mentioned amongst these. On 17 December a sample of a new song “Sentimental” was added to their website, which was later replaced with a 20-second clip of another song called “Renegades”. Later on that month the website announced a six date tour and the release of a tour-only EP which was released on “Big Teeth Music”, also their own record label. After the tour was completed, another six date tour was shortly announced with the band this time playing bigger venues. Another EP was released to coincide with the tour, which included a further four new songs with one of these being titled “Home”; one of the new songs the band performed on their first tour under this alias. The side-project was used as a method to promote the seventh Feeder studio album titled Renegades at live shows where they would mainly play the new songs, thus avoiding having to play any of their hits if they played as Feeder. The side-project would cease in 2010 after playing their final gig as Renegades at that year’s Sonisphere Festival.
