The Revellions
Retro garage rock kicks out the jams in style
Sounding like the last three decades of music never happened, garage rockers The Revellions are actually a bit of a revelation. While we’ve all heard the three-chord buzzsaw riffs and swirling organs before, the band achieve the unthinkable by making it all seem fresh and new. Dual vocalists Ali Moore and James Lister sound like they gargle absinth for breakfast and the music’s got just the right amount of fuzz to make it work. Highlights are the Rocket from the Crypt-esque ‘I Don’t Mind’ and the bluesy ‘Ain’t No Fool’ but it’s hard to single out just one track on such a solid record.
Key Track: 'Up To You'
