Revolution Mother�.The new band surrounding pro skater Mike Vallely. After ending his former project, Mike V and The Rats, Mike and Jason started their new band in 2005. The birth of Revolution Mother! And is it an abomination or a celebration of new life?
Revolution Mother plays a style of music which has its roots in hardcore/punk (especially concerning the attitude and the vocal style) and speedrock. The first name that came up in my mind was Green Jell�. Maybe strange because Green Jell� is more known by their puppet show than their music, but especially the way Mike V. sounds and the way the songs are arranged reminded me of Green Jell�.
So what is the verdict? Well, it�s not guilty or innocent. The jury is still not out what to think of this band and is very curious what they will deliver with their next outing. Glory Bound is a nice, but not a groundbreaking cd. For people who like the genre it definitely isn�t a waste of money. They have too much talent and this CD is a tad above decent. Though they should�ve stayed away from covering �Hole In The Sky��.
