"One of the most intriguing bands on the circuit..." Glasswerk.co.uk
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.

Hey guys, Thanks so much for the add. My brother told me all about your wonderful music as he is living in London at the moment from Australia. He passed on the link to your MP3 giveaway after going to one of your shows. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to listen to your tunes, they are truly beautiful. Best wishes from Aussie Land, Zoe

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!
