Recycling American hip-hop and British dub to form their own unique sound aesthetic, Renegade Soundwave cover a lot of territory on their debut album. Though the rapping is subpar, productions like the opener &Blue Eyed Boy& (featuring the same sample later used by Public Enemy for &By the Time I Get to Arizona&) and their cover of the old English Beat classic &Can't Get Used to Losing You& reveal a solid focus on the audio terrorism possible from sampling. Soundclash also includes Renegade Soundwave's charting single &Probably a Robbery& and the title track from their previous EP Biting My Nails.
