REVOLUTION MOTHER unveil new myspace and songs
FULL-LENGTH: “ROLLIN’ WITH THA MUTHA” OUT JULY 6th
Revolution Mother are unveiling a revamped MySpace page replete with songs from their forthcoming album. Capturing the fury of their live performances the band’s second album ROLLIN’ WITH THA MUTHA (Ferret Music) delivers on the promise that the debut album held.
Vocalist Mike Vallely says of the songs, "We write the kind of music we want to hear, that gets us fired up. It’s the kind of music you'd play before going to the ring for a fight -- but it's bigger -- it's the soundtrack for the fight that is this life...”
An amalgam of greasy biker rock and charging skate punk Vallely clarifies, “At the end of the day we are just a rock n roll band. We have hardcore, punk and metal influences but really we're just playing overdriven blues.”
The band plans to tour around the album's release and have previously completed U.S. Tours with Tiger Army, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, Every Time I Die and Danzig as well as a European Tour with Funeral For A Friend.
On Revolution Mother in the live setting Vallely states “When we play live shows people want to hate us at first for sure -- our look, our vibe, our style doesn't fall into a quickly definable category so it's hard for the more narrow minded to get their heads around it. However people back off when they realize that we are deadly serious and always willing to back it up. We play pissed off rock and roll, but it's got a groove and really we just want to have a good time and rock an audience full out. But if you want to fight, we can do that too, I just don't recommend it.”
