Justin Holman (vocals), Robert Davis (guitar), Kevin Haaland (guitar), Brad Smith (bass), and David Piribauer (drums) comprise the infectious post-grunge sounds of Revis. They came together in the late '90s and played local gigs in their native Carbondale, IL, under the Orco moniker. A move to Los Angeles in 2001 gave them a new direction and a name change and motivated them to record a demo. Epic Records was impressed with their tight presentation and inked Revis a deal in 2002. Producer Don Gilmore joined them in the studio for their full-length debut later that summer. The end result was the guitar-laden Places for Breathing. Just as it was ready to hit stores in late May, the city of Carbondale christened May 19, 2003, as "Revis Day" in tribute to their young hometown heroes. The album went on to sell 10,000 copies during its first week of release and debuted at number one on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.
After some touring with popular groups like Evanescence, Fuel, and Cold, Revis scored two rock radio hits, "Caught in the Rain," which was initially featured in the movie Daredevil, and "Seven." Despite the band's rising popularity, Revis announced that they were disbanding in 2005.
In February 2010, Revis announced a reunion and are currently finishing up their second full length album, to be released in the Spring of 2011.

Revis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all over now
The seal is broken
Creatures spoken now
I hope you go up to heaven right now
It's all over
It's all over now
Or am I the same
It's all over
It's all over now
No room for hiding
We're children fighting now
And hope you go up to heaven right now
It's all over
It's all over now
Can I be the same?
The rain is falling
The rain is falling now
Today we're leaving
Our souls are calling now
The stars on his right holding seven right now
The rain is falling
The rain is falling now
Can I be changed?
Or am I the same
It's all over
It's all over now
No room for hiding
We're children fighting now
And hope you go up to heaven right now
It's all over
It's all over now
The song “Seven” by Revis has a strong religious and apocalyptic theme. The first verse sets the tone of the song with the line "The seal is broken, creatures spoken now,” which refers to the opening of the seven seals mentioned in the Book of Revelation that signifies the end of the world. The singer is urging someone to go to heaven as if it’s their only hope of salvation in a world that’s coming to an end.
The second verse is about self-reflection and transformation. The questions posed, “Can I be changed? Or am I the same?” suggest that the singer is questioning their identity and wondering if they can change their ways to be better. The line “no room for hiding, we're children fighting now” can be interpreted as facing the consequences of their actions and fighting to survive in a world where everything is falling apart.
The chorus again references the idea of going to heaven as if it’s the only way to escape the chaos of the world. The last verse, “Today we're leaving, our souls are calling now” can be interpreted as the singer resigning to their fate and accepting that the end of the world is upon them. The line, “the stars on his right holding seven right now” refers to a passage in the Book of Revelation that speaks of angels holding seven stars in their right hand.
