Revis
was one of the many bands that were set to play on the bill for the 2003 K-Rockathon
but they were the one band I had the most anticipation about seeing live.
Revis has come a long way since their humble beginnings in Illinois and
recently opening for bands such as Greenwheel.
They still are on their way to success by charging into the radio charts
at full steam with their single "Caught in the Rain," which can be
found on their debut album Places for Breathing and on the Daredevil Soundtrack.
Revis is composed of vocalist Justin Holman, guitarist
Robert Davis, guitarist Nathaniel Cox, bassist Bob Thiemann and drummer David
Pirbauer.
They're debut album Places for Breathing has a
refreshing diversity that can please anyone.
Holman's haunting voice burns into your soul and the lyrics of each song
continues to echo in your mind long after the disk is over.
Forcing one's thoughts to go deeper than trivial issues that may be
effecting their day.
Revis'
set was nothing but amazing. They are full of non-stop energy and know how to
work a crowd. Their set was stopped for about fifteen minutes due to an
electrical storm. They were literally "Caught In The Rain." Revis
didn't let the bad weather stop them from pouring their hearts out on stage.
After the short delay, they appropriately tore
right into "Caught in the Rain." Holman's voice echoed over the soaked
and very wet crowd pulling them back in front of the stage from the stands.
Their set included "Your Wall," "Spin,"
"Seven," and "Everything After."
Revis
is an amazing band that is surely going to be going places in the future. The
band has shown a lot of progress since their first tour. With an amazing live set that commemorates the passion and power found on their album I give them a 5 out of 5 stars and advice to go see them live
AND buy Places for Breathing NOW!
