Since 2008, REVOLUTION have stood their ground in a hostile environment where groups of their pedigree are marginalized into non-existence.
This formidable endurance alone has ensured their survival for the last five years as a band, and validated their position as one of Miami's most intense outfits.
REVOLUTION's sound is a turbulent hybridization of heavy metal's amplified crunch, punk rock's insular defiance, hardcore's muscular savagery, and the ruthless animosity of grind core. The center-piece to this particular sonic-tempest is the scope of the lyrics which address the contemporary zeitgeist of not only the local corruption within Miami. but what has transpired during the last decade under the Counter-Terrorism-Surveillance-State.
As evidenced, their music is the soundtrack to the struggles of the band and those around them, channeling feelings of hopeless,paralyzed fear, anger, disgust and disillusionment. However, this is not music to lament over the fall of society...It is to confront those who would benefit in the collapse. And, like their name-sake, to provoke radical change, even if it's delivery is anything but subtle.
2009 saw the band recording the song 'Never Again' for the 'KRYPTONITE ALL-STARS' compilation CD alongside 'Live To Fight', their first EP completed and released on iTunes/Amazon. Local publications such as 'The Miami New Times' and 'The Herald' itself, had either praised or mentioned REVOLUTION in articles regarding the activity outside the general domain of Electronic Dance Music. By the following year, REVOLUTION had contributed to several more compilations: 'KRYPTONITE ALL-STARS II & III', 'COLOSSAL MUSIC FESTIVAL ALL-STARS', 'LARGOPALOOZA', and 'SPRING BREAK BASH 2010'.
Since their inception, the band has found regional camaraderie with the likes of 1,000 Pounds Of Thrust, Chamber Of Dreams, Urban Rebel, Silenmara & Endo.
As of 2013, REVOLUTION's lineup is as followed:
• Gerry Rodriguez vocals
• Joel Schlamauss bass
• Mars Clemente guitar
• Mr. Choupah drums.
Ad mist a slew of recent gigs, the band is poised for recording their first official release followed by a subsequent tour. Yet, this is just the beginning. There is much more to come. To quote the band again: ''This is the year you started the revolution....''
