Rein published their first album in 2005, ''Un'altra estate
("another summer"), and signed with an independent record label from Rome, but eventually terminated the contract at the end of the same year. With the support of the Free Hardware Foundation they published at the end of 2005 the EP Est!'' ("East!") with the
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license and the Diffusion Authorization from the FHF, which allow, combined with another license, the free public performance of the music for non-commercial purposes. All music from Rein is published in
Jamendo with a free license. In May 2008 the second album,
Occidente ("West"), was released under CC BY-NC-ND license. After a good amount of live activity, which also included important international festivals, on 15 October 2010 Rein released their third album,
È finita ("it's over"), under the Digital Online Commons license, a variation on CC BY-NC-ND license. In April 2011 they played in a concert at
Villa Borghese gardens in Rome celebrating the
Earth Day, together with
Patti Smith and
Carmen Consoli. Rein officially disbanded on 21 December 2012 with an announcement on the official website's home page. == Members ==
