Reviews

The Revelons are enthralling onstage. Lead singer
Gregory Pickard burns with an unhinged intensity that would rival a Bowie or Byrne.”
     — NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS, September 6th, 1980

 “New York’s best underground band”
     — Playboy Magazine’s Music Poll, 1981

“One of New York’s best unsigned bands”
     — CASHBOX, December, 1980

˜˜˜˜˜ Unknown Legends…
“The Revelons have the gritty, apolitical pop-punk sound of the late seventies. Fans of The Strokes, The Cars, The Shoes, Patti Smith Group, and Talking Heads should check these guys out. I’m glad I did”
     — Thomas Horan, amazon.com

“It is impossible to believe that punk era music this rock,
this raw, this heartfelt and this good has been
buried for nearly twenty years” ˜˜˜˜˜
     — Joshua Glazer, All Music Guide, yahoo.com

BEST REISSUE OF A BEST LOCAL BAND (Anthology 2004)“…genuinely inspired and touching tunes about love, youth and youths in love with music…”
     — New York Press, October, 2004

“The best-kept secret of the proto-punk era… [the] songs recall the most rudimentary punk, with anthemic choruses and chugging guitar riffs that propel them to climax…
‘Anthology’ archives pivotal moments in
the history of punk and new wave music”
     — Emily Lamison, kittymagic.com

“Singer Gregory Lee Pickard pulls off the tortured whining punk voice even better than the more celebrated Richard Hell. He’s on the brink of collapse from his first trembling word”
     — Merry Swankster, merryswankster.com

“The Revelon’s ‘Anthology’ is the kind of record where you could get in an argument comparing your favorite songs… Infectious, creative songwriting, hooks galore, and great production. Choruses that just soar, and songs that escalate into moments of pure lovely pop”
     — Phil Honolulu, lettershavenoarms.com

     — Jon Solomon, WPRB Radio
