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