Colour Revolt


Colour Revolt emerged from Oxford, Mississippi like a monster out of a swamp.
Their distinct sound is s surprise to many ears, but pleasant nonetheless.
Colour Revolt is often compared to Arcade Fire, or sometimes even Wilco,
but these guys bring their own brand of Indie Rock to the airwaves.
The band is different from most in that they have 3 guitarists. You may think
that that is overkill in the guitar department, but Colour Revolt is able to use
this to their advantage in creating complex, melodic guitar rifts that blow the mind.
Colour Revolt has just been signed to Fat Opossum Records, and is set to release
their first full length album entitled "Plunder, Beg, and Curse" on April 1st of this
year. You can get their self titled EP from their website though. So go check these
guys out. They will not disappoint.

The Mars Volta


This band isn't really new at all, but with the hype on the new album " The Bedlam in Goliath" I figure that they deserve a spot in my second blog. The story behind this album is said to be about a a ouija board, and a series of bad luck that followed. Omar Rodriguez, guitarist/composer is known for is insane, and strange guitar rifts has supposedly calmed down a bit, and tend to be a bit more melodic for this record, but still does not dissapoint. Cedric Bixler, lead singer/lyricist who has a high pitched voice anyway tends to go falsetto more on this album. The album release is on January 29, and should be amazing. If you want to check out some of the songs from the new album you can check it out here. The Mars Volta
