"Len is a god on piano" - Joe Castanza of pop/rock band 'The Great Mistake'

"Lenny Revell is a talented guy. He really is. That’s pretty much as bottom line and straight forward as you can get. Revell truly is the real deal. He can sing and play the piano very well. He's one of those hidden gems you can’t help but pull for to make it big in the long run." - Brian Campbell "Rochesterathome.com"
"Revell shows talent and promise as a vocalist and lyricist, and displays a knack for progressions that go well beyond three-chord pop." - Robbie Gennet of "Keyboard Magazine"Click Here For The Full Review
"Lenny Revell is a rare gem, indeed. Part man, part dragon, all Rock and Roll. Honing his skills on the mean streets of the Queen City, he's created a unique blend of power-pop and Ninja Chop that can only be described as a REVELL-ation to the music scene today. His exodus from Buffalo, along with that of his comic-rock, boy-toy contemporaries, Team RamRock, has left a void in the ears, hearts, and souls of WNY. If only the Ghost of Rick James could rise again and save us" - Chris Biondoliollo of "Central Park Grill"
Lessons” is an album with songs of spontaneous delight, dark humor and vivid romance. Revell provides vocal talent with a varying range (sometimes deep and rigid, sometimes campy), which really captures his creative personality. - Paul Cunningham of "Teen Ink Magazine" Click Here For The Full Review
