REVOLVER Announce New Guitarist, Issue Recording Update

REVOLVER has announced that guitarist Sean Kelly, also of CRASH KELLY, will no longer be a member of the band. "This is a reality that both Sean and I have been trying to balance for the past two years" says vocalist Nick Walsh, formerly of SLIK TOXIK. "Between Crash Kelly and Revolver's schedules, it just seems that we can't find a fair balance and unfortunately an ultimate decision had to be made."

The camaraderie these two share runs deep. You can find Nick lending his vocal talents on the American release of Crash Kelly's new album Electric Satisfaction on a duet of the classic ALICE COOPER track 'Cold Ethyl'.

Revolver would like to welcome new guitarist Tyson Emanuel to the family. After meeting Tyson and playing with him for the first time, Nick knew that if anyone was going to fill the shoes of Sean this guy was it. "I just knew that with his talents he would be a shoe in, but it wasn't until we hung out and realized that three hours had past from just chatting that he was the guy." Tyson comes from the heavier, progressive side of metal and brings an abundance of new energy to the group.

Recently, Revolver has started tracking the follow-up material to their 2005 release, Turbulence. "The current songs are a little darker sounding than their predessessor, while maintaining the signature hooks, edge and melody that people and critics alike expect to hear from us. A few new titles include, the hypnotic and melodic 'Bullet Train', the anthemic, gospel of 'Hell To Pay' and the hooky power rocker 'Love Stands Still'."

Many thanks go out to Kevin for sharing these awesome photos of Scott's solo performance with Douglas Grean in Indiana last Friday!

Here's Kevin's review of the performance:

"There were probably about 200 people at the club, which meant that it was pretty full (it's a very small club). It was just Scott and a guy on the guitar (Beautiful Day on the piano), with some loops being played on a computer.

The show itself was phenomenal! Scott's voice sounded great, and he really had a passion for the music. He's also a very big Irish fan (his father played ND football), which made me happy, being a current student at Notre Dame. Scott dedicated Wish You Were Here to "his brother's best friend," Pat Tillman (the NFL player who was killed in Iraq). He also said that the last song, Beautiful Day, is going to be in a new movie called Bug starring Ashley Judd and Harry Connick, Jr. It was very trippy, but very cool in a weird way.

I took a couple pictures, so if I get those up online, I'll post a link here, if you're interested. Those of us who were lucky enough to be there witnessed a great, intimate show with one of rock's most eccentric frontmen, and I for one am looking forward to both the solo record and the new VR. GO IRISH!!!"
