1 REVOLUTION
The perfect balance of metal, punk, and grind from the old school to the new. This is the essence of the sound of REVOLUTION. It represents our feelings and also help us describe the sound. But most important of all, it represents the sound of our city, Miami, Florida.
From the beginning, we wanted to mix metal, punk and grind in ways that has not been done before. Trying to bring the Miami Scene to burst has been our priority since day one.”As Heavy As A Sledgehammer” is how the sound was described by some of our listeners.
Hailing from the ashes of different local bands, Gery, Joel and Mr. Jhon started to jam in a regular basis. Gery played drums and sung most of the sessions. A song called REVOLUTION came out in this first set of songs. We called an old friend ‘Abe’ to fill in drums, he helped us tight the songs up getting us ready to play. Unfortunately, he didn’t like the direction the band was taking and decided to leave the band. Danny jumped in the drum set, and we were out playing open mics by mid 2007. It was good times, we will call the band a different name at every show.After a few shows, we decided to call the band like the first song we composed. REVOLUTION was born, but still didn’t have a steady drummer. Finally, Joel’s friend refers them to Kevin. He auditioned and within the first minute of the audition. We all knew we had found the fourth member of REVOLUTION. The first “official” REVOLUTION show was February 28th, 2008, at club Drakkes. It was on! We played over two hundred shows in a two year period. We won the “BEST SHOW” at the STATUS-QUO AWARD CEREMONY 2008 produced by DJ OSKI and QUEEN OF THE SCENE. We stayed “Number One” local band at the REVERBNATION CHARTS for over two years. We had live broadcasts from “MEZZ TV” and “THE TALENT FARM”. The song “HOPELESS” was featured in TLP RADIO in Tampa Florida, in the Monday Metal Show BRUTAL BACKHAND. REVOLUTION was the “featured band” at the Peruvian radio station “MAXIMO VOLUMEN” having the songs “Never Again” and “Death In Paradise” in heavy rotation. The song “Never Again” is featured in the 2009 Kryptonite Allstars Compilation CD. We record our first Ep. “LIVE TO FIGHT”. The cover art is created by extremely talented local artist N.F.Romero. It was mixed and mastered by multi instrumentalist Mick Kenney (ANAAL NATHRAKH, NAPALM DEATH, DELIVERANCE). It is on sale in AMAZON MP3, ITUNES STORE, and ANDROID STORE. The songs from the first Ep appeared in several compilations (KRYPTONITE ALLSTARS II and III, COLOSSAL MUSIC FESTIVAL ALLSTARS, LARGOPALOOZA, SPRINGBREAK BASH 2010).By June of 2010, Mr. Jhon decided to abandon the band for personal reasons. We stayed still for a couple of months looking for a replacement. Finally, Robbie D. calls Gery and tells him that he needs to audition him. That no one else is gonna call, because he has grabbed all the adds from the store. He fitted perfectly as a rhythm guitar. Now, we were in the search for a lead guitar. We had to settle with a guy named Raul, because we had shows lined up. REVOLUTION was featured in THE METAL DELI RADIOSHOW from Chicago. Kevin and Raul part ways from REVOLUTION, putting us in stand by one more time. Robbie decides to bring his old bandmates from THE CHAOS LEGION to fill in the vacant spots. Jack Sinister join us in guitar and Choupah Brootality on drums. REVOLUTION has played in Miami’s most prominent venues (TOBACCO ROAD, CHURCHILLS, FLAVOUR, DRAKES, STUDIO A, ROCKSHOP, VINYL & KAY, JAZZID, EVE, etc) We have also entered the Broward circuit playing at their most important venues ( AREA 7, PULP LIVE, MUGSHOTS, OMALLEYS, VENOM ROCK BAR). But we have also gone south to Key Largo @ PONTUNES. We are getting ready for recording, and Robbie decides to leave the band for family reasons. Shortly after, he is replaced by talented Mars Clemente. Having his first show two days after he joined the band. REVOLUTION has been featured in articles in the most important written media in Miami ( The MIAMI HERALD, MIAMI NEW TIMES, ARISTOCATS, MIAMI LIFE MAGAZINE, MIAMI SNAPSHOTS).
We use STEVE CLAYTON picks and accesories. REVOLUTION uses OBSCENITEASE gear in our performances. REVOLUTION is trying to keep live music alive!!

Revolution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In here all alone
With such an empty soul
Them words I said they burn deep inside
Such regret I can't forget
I feel so sad
So sad
So sad about losing you
I feel so sad
So sad
So sad about losing you
So sad I feel so sad
Now I see
No way
To reach out to you
It's all gone so far away
Standing still
I'm stuck
Right here in a time
Flash the days just pass me by
I feel so sad
So sad
So sad about losing you
So sad
I feel so sad
So sad
So sad about losing you
So sad I feel so sad
As I dance
All right
With demons inside
Twisting round feeling I find
Could there be a way
For you to return
And forgive my foolish ways
I feel so sad
So sad
So sad about losing you
So sad
I feel so sad
So sad
So sad about losing you
So sad I feel so sad
The lyrics of Revolution's song SOS describe the agony of losing someone special to the singer. The opening lines of the song set the scene of the singer sitting alone, feeling empty and regretful, with burning memories of the words they said to this person they lost. The singer laments about how they feel extremely sad about the loss and seems to have no way to reach out to the person who left them. They feel stuck in a moment and go through every day as if it were a flash, feeling lost and hopeless.
In the second verse, the singer compares their state of being to dancing with demons within. They try to twist and turn the memory of the person they lost to find an answer to their grief, yet they find no solace. The chorus repeats the line "so sad" to emphasize the depth of their sadness and how it pervades every aspect of their life. The singer feels desperate for forgiveness and would do anything to have their loved one back. The song SOS is a poignant portrayal of the pain of losing someone and the struggle to accept and move on.

Stuck in this moment
Flash the days just pass me by
Days are going quickly
As I dance
Even as I try to escape
All right
Doing okay
With demons inside
With the pain and guilt I carry
Twisting round feeling I find
I am overwhelmed and confused
Could there be a way
Is there any possibility
For you to return
For you to come back to me
And forgive my foolish ways
And forgive me for my mistakes
I feel so sad
I am overwhelmed with sadness
So sad
