Written/Edited by Kat Cole on behalf of Mud Hut Digital.

“…an impressive professionalism and an enigmatic musical presence that belies their status as relative newcomers… Keep an eye on this lot.”

Rock Pulse Magazine

“…a collision between dark, clashing soundscapes, and bright, catchy melodies which seep like honey through a toxic sea”

Too long has indie-rock ‘gazed at its shoes’ in a desperate attempt to appear to not be trying too hard.

Forget that.

Rev78 have a massive, expansive and heartfelt sound which follows the tradition of Great British Rock music - but refreshingly interweaved with a dark-pop sensibility.

First single ‘Killing Me’ sees spectral guitars weave a sonic web over a frenetic rock-rhythm section, supported by the extraordinary rich and dynamic vocal performances of Mr Teddy Quick – the voice of whom has already received flattering comparisons to various stellar rock stalwarts such as Morrissey, Ian Curtis and Matt Bellamy. B-side ‘Lullaby’ showcases the band’s counter sensitive side and confirms an impressive scope quite simply beyond the reach of many of their contemporaries.

Next single ‘Every Bone’ (due for release in February 2011) follows the resonating-meets-epic-ballad suit, with a gentle musicianship and Quick’s soaring vocals leading listeners through a tunnel of melancholy, before reaching an affirming, “light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel” and emotively-crashing crescendo.

Scheduled for release in April, Rev78’s eagerly anticipated forthcoming debut album “Boy And The Blitz” is a giant leap for the band – an assured radio-friendly fare which instead of being forgettable, demands repeated listens. Masterly produced by “Junk Scientist” (AKA Russ Keffert) and mixed by scene luminary Catherine Marks - who’s recent portfolio includes the likes of Interpol, Foals, PJ Harvey and Placebo to name but a few – only adds further magic to the clamour of the quartet who will no doubt imminently be propelled in mainstream consciousness.
