The Revelers

Hard Times, Sunday Spirits (SpinArt)
by Katy Shea

Quirky power pop with grungy vocals and a sense of humor. The Revelers deliver a hip garage band sound with dramatic ’80s vocal stylings (á la Brad Delp) and melodic guitar posturing, while also covering the ’90s’ Weezer-esque goofiness and levity. Catchy and heartfelt with a positive spin, The Revelers are well named. They span genres well – tongue in cheek but still crossing their fingers ‘cuz they might be serious.
