I Randy sono un gruppo punk di Hortlax, Svezia, formatosi nel 1992.

Inizialmente il gruppo si ispirò a complessi di hardcore melodico come NOFX e Propagandhi ma dopo la registrazione di The Rest Is Silence e dopo l'abbandono del bassista Patrik Trydvall, la band cambiò radicalmente il suo stile musicale e scelse un sound che ricorda Thin Lizzy, Misfits e Ramones. Finora la band ha pubblicato sei album, di cui l'ultimo in ordine di tempo è Randy the Band. I Randy hanno rotto con la Burning Heart Records e stanno attualmente cercando una nuova etichetta.

Randy is a Swedish punk rock band from Hortlax, Sweden, formed in 1992. They were first inspired by skate punk bands like NOFX and Propagandhi but after the release of The Rest Is Silence and the departure of their bass player Patrik Trydvall, they radically changed their musical style and adopted an older sound reminiscent of Thin Lizzy, The Misfits and Ramones, heavily leaning on a fusion of garage punk and pop punk to form their new sound. Their first album after the transition in style, You Can't Keep a Good Band Down, earned praise from MaximumRockNRoll, which called it "the best melodic punk CD since Bad Religion's No Control." After his departure, Patrik went on to contribute lead vocals in his now-disbanded punk rock group, Diefenbaker.
