...the last received signal from a satellite burning up on re-entry...


"The most underrated band in Britain at the moment, everything they produce is of the highest quality"
The Beat Surrender

"But the day’s real revelations lurked on the smaller stages, notably the eight-piece orchestral rockers Revere, who combine the fiery melodrama of Muse with the rousing chamber-pop of Arcade Fire. They could, and should, be huge"
The Times

"An extraordinary widescreen technicolor epic of a song...a stunning single by a stunning band..."
Tom Robinson, BBC6

"The Escape Artist is probably one of the grandest pieces of music you will hear this year, haunting and performed to the highest of standards…I am in awe of the beauty of the piece"
Insiders Guide

"Revere are a band who provide almost the perfect soundtrack. This eight piece London outfit manage to go from strength to strength with each and every release"
UK Music Review

"A kaleidoscopic mess of noise, intensity and harmony - worth checking out"
Subba-Cultcha

"Wow, this is what I call epic stuff…a bit like Nick Cave meets Arcade Fire meets Sigur Ros!! Big sound, big songs, big excitement!! And, big future, hopefully!"
Toxic Pete

"Can't wait to hear more from this band…they could be one of the best finds of the year"
Is This Music

"Warm waves of shimmering, beautiful yet dramatic music"
Loud Horizon Music

"Wonderful post rock in the vein of Sigur Ros and Arcade Fire"
Die Shellsuit, Die!

"Gospel for the space-age generation..."
The Times

"Beautifully unpredictable..."
MOJO Magazine

"One of the best bands you've never heard of..."
The Guardian Weekend

"Stuff this special and so uninterfered with doesn't come along often."
Manchester Music

"A bold and beguiling mix of klezmer, post-rock, gospel and soundtracks."
Time Out

"An understated smoker..."
Record Collector

"One of the most intriguing bands on the circuit..."

   About REVERE

Biography

REVERE incorporate violin, cello, keys, trumpet and harp into a guitar-led sound, touching on numerous musical reference points, combining elements of gypsy marches, klezmer, post rock, film scores and gospel into a truly unique sound.

Live, REVERE play with an unparalleled intensity, working songs from music-box soft openings into relentless walls of sound shot through with a show-stopping falsetto.

"The most underrated band in Britain at the moment, everything they produce is of the highest quality" The Beat Surrender

hello revere!

i dont know if you remember me, but i use to be an avid fans on yours around 2006/7, and met stephen an acoustic show you did at the white hart round that time.

i jus wanna say how amazing you guys are and im so happy that you guys are still going strong with your music. the first time i saw you live, you had completely changed the way i thought about live music and the connection between people and the music/artist, you showed how powerful and intense it can be, stephen you are by the far the most amazing lead singer ive ever seen live, such energy, i still remember how mind boggled i was after your gig!, what a feeling

now im doing my own music thing, gigging around london, its really hard and ive learnt to highly respect bands like yours and how much time and work you've put to the music

but anyway, i'll stop before i get scary!, thank you for inspiring me, take care!

Great live band---come and see them play at Standon Calling this weekend. Beautiful small festival just half hour north of London - just 2,500 people and loads of other great bands like The Invisible, Sun Ra Arkestra, Femi Kuti, Rumble Strips... Should still be tickets available for day or weekend - best festival in UK. www.standon-calling.com
You're all welcome. Peace x
