1) Revolver (UK) were a London based guitar band in existence from 1990-1994, comprising of Mat Flint (guitar/vocals), Hamish Brown (bass) and Nick Dewey (drums). Flint and Dewey had been in school bands together, and when the two moved to London in the autumn of 1990 met Brown who completed the line-up.
The band, after attracting attention from several record labels, signed to the Virgin records subsidiary Hut Records in the summer of 1991. The band quickly picked up a following, supporting the likes of Chapterhouse, Slowdive, Teenage Fanclub and Blur, and gained a lot of press coverage, most notably in NME, Melody Maker and The Face. Their first single, "Heaven Sent An Angel" topped the UK independent charts, as did the follow-up "Crimson", and the third single "Venice". The band specialised in bright, abrasive guitar-pop songs with strong melodies, and were determined (but ultimately failed) to distinguish themselves from the other guitar bands of the era. The UK press lumped them in with the shoegazer movement, a tag that the band weren't comfortable with.
A compilation of these first 3 singles was released in the States as "Baby's Angry" on Caroline Records, and gained the band airplay on US college radio. The band toured America in the autumn of 1992, on a co-headlining tour with fellow Caroline Records act Drop Nineteens.
In 1993, Revolver released the single "Cradle Snatch", closely followed by the album "Cold Water Flat", and while the songs were more sophisticated than their earlier work, the sales weren't as impressive, and Virgin dropped the band after a final single "I Wear Your Chain" failed to make the top 75. The band split up at the beginning of 1994, after failing to sign a deal with another label. Mat Flint went on to play bass guitar for Death In Vegas from 1996 onwards, and has released two singles, "Commodity" and "Time To Kill", with his new band Deep Cut. Deep Cut's debut album "My Thoughts Light Fires" will be released on Club AC30 Records in February 2009.
2) Formed in Braunschweig, Germany - Formed by guitarist Lutz Buck and drummer Antek Rudo, and after tossing some ideas around, they decided to book a studio to record an album. The album, The Unholy Mother Of Fuck, was recorded and released in 2002 on Music For Nations.
3) Formed in Auckland, New Zealand in 2003. Comprised of Charlie Atkin (guitars, keyboards, vocals), Stevie Atkin (vocals, guitars), Greg Dempster (drums), Matt Bryers (vocals, guitars), and Rob Bryers (bass, vocals), they released their debut album "Parlour Games" in December 2006. Their style is best described as rock and roll with strong retro influences, particularly The Who and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
4) Revolver (Slovenia) was a thrash metal band from Portorož, active in the 90's. They have released first and only album "Sistem" in 1997. Band Members were: Igor Zonta (Vocals), Kevin Koradin (Guitar), Matej Batelič (Bass), Enis Beganovič (Drums).

Calm Down
Revolver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There ain't much time to wait before the ecstasy
You know when I'm alone
I think of you on me and it makes me happy
Calm down everyone
There ain't much time to wait before we all leave
I know a place upon where
You know it looks like
You know it feels like
It's like a dream
Calm down friends of mine
There ain't much time to wait before we see the sea
You know it's the first time
We go there all together it must be happy
You know it looks like
You know it feels like
It's like a dream
Calm down lover of mine
There ain't much time to wait before the ecstasy
You know when I'm alone
I think of you on me and it makes me happy
You know it looks like
You know it feels like
It's like a dream
Calm down everyone
There ain't much time to wait before we all leave
I know a place upon where
We'll be able to live and feel much more happy
You know it looks like
You know it feels like
It's like a dream
The lyrics to Revolver's song "Calm Down" convey a sense of urgency and a longing for happiness and fulfillment. The repeated phrase "Calm down" acts as a command, urging the listener to relax and find peace amidst the passing of time. The song addresses different individuals, including a lover, friends, and a collective group, emphasizing the universal nature of these desires for contentment.
In the verses, the singer addresses their lover, expressing that there is not much time to wait before experiencing ecstasy. The reference to being alone and thinking of their lover on them signifies a profound connection and a source of joy. The lyrics suggest that the presence of this person brings happiness and fulfillment, serving as a respite from the chaos and challenges of life.
The song also speaks to a larger audience, urging everyone to calm down and seize the limited time before they all go their separate ways. There's a mention of a place where they can live and feel much happier, hinting at the possibility of transcending the current state of existence and finding greater fulfillment collectively.
The repeated lines "You know it looks like, You know it feels like, It's like a dream" further reinforces the idea of longing for an idealized state of happiness. Dreams often represent a heightened reality where desires can be fulfilled, and these lines suggest that the envisioned happiness feels almost too good to be true.
Overall, the song "Calm Down" explores themes of longing for happiness, the importance of human connection, and the limited time we have to find fulfillment in our lives.
