[[Image:Innocent.jpg|thumb|The band's only release, ''Livin' In The Street'']]'''The Innocent''' was the band [[Trent Reznor]] played with after leaving [[The Urge]]. The band was formed in 1983 as Hot Rodney, with Rodney Psyka on vocals, Alan Greene on guitar, and Gary Lee Jones on keyboards. Albritton McClain on bass and Kevin Valentine on drums joined the band in February 1985 to record their debut album. Because Jones was a staff producer for Red Label, he was unable to tour with the band. They auditioned fifteen keyboard players and selected Reznor as the touring keyboardist in March 1985.
