Revere

Revere is a seven-piece rock band based in London.
The band includes violin, cello, keys and the occasional brass section, along with the traditional rock backline. The diverse line‐up brings with it a diversity of influences including the cinematic scores of Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone; the soaring vocals and genre­‐tripping of Jeff Buckley; the brooding soundscapes of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and the dark folk of Nick Cave.
Revere combine these influences with fleeting elements of gypsy songs, post-­rock, klezmer, film scores and gospel to produce cohesive, multi-­layered and dramatic music which moves from tiny, music-­‐box openings to cacophonous walls of sound.
The result is a sound often compared to instrumental alchemists like Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire and Beirut. A Revere live show is as likely to be a full‐scale electric onslaught as an intimate acoustic show either way audiences can expect dramatic live visuals to complement performances.
Their last single, ‘We Won’t be Here Tomorrow’ combines post‐rock intensity with the kind of rousing, euphoric blasts of trumpet, strings and piano that has come to characterise the band. The track won a string of superlative­‐laden reviews and was Track of the Week in The Sunday Times and Q Magazine. It enjoyed plays on stations such as 6Music, Radio 2, BBC London and is a Steve Lamacq’s Rebel Playlist Winner.
