(1) The Revelations are made up of Annika Magnberg, Sarah Vitorino and Louise Masters.

Their classic soulful pop music extends the lineage of the great girl groups of the Sixties (Ronettes, Supremes, Shirelles) while evoking memories of vintage ABBA. Yet despite these 24 carat pop reference points the girls create a sound that is both contemporary and timeless and instantly identifiable as The Revelations.

Last year they gigged the traditional London circuit (Dublin Castle, Borderline) in the hope of getting a record deal. After playing Alan McGees legendary Death Disco they were picked up by Simon Williams who put out a limited edition run of 'You're The Loser' on his Fierce Panda label (also home to debuts from Coldplay, Keane, and Oasis) which was soon played on Radio 1 and 6 Music by the lovely Steve Lamacq.

At the start of 2006 the girls went into the studio to record their debut album with producer Ian Grimble, which was mastered at Abbey Road in July.

The girls also run their own club night over in Notting Hill at the Arts Club on the first Sunday of every month where they perform a residency and DJ alongside their guests.Shaping up to be one of the most exciting acts of 2007, why not get yourself down to Notting Hill quickly to check them out and say Hello?!

(2) A soul band. The Revelations embody the raw essence of classic southern soul, with a sharp modern edge.

Don't Look Back
The Revelations Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who couldn't look me in the eye
And thought they knew
Everything about us was crazy
And I never felt this way before
And I never felt this way before
We were in a world of fools
Who couldn't look me in the eye
And thought they knew

Everything about us was crazy
That was a wilder night
Than any dream can last
Never have felt so alone in my life
Never had to watch you shoot the breeze
And it feels just like we're out in the sun
And your sweaty shirt keeps
The sun from shivering
It feels just like the winter tears
In the middle of a summer bite in the ground
And I can't help but wake up
Every hour of the day
And it feels just like we're out in the sun
I'm in the fuckin' 405

Don't come back

The kind of man she needs is who I be
I believe I love the way she's known me time
I believe I love the way she used to know me
We live our life in hearts and leaves a place
And maybe you'll let me down
'Cause your heart is no good
And you'll miss me this time
But the moment I feel the same
I'll hold you again and again
Hold me again and again
When you want to be mine
You'll find a someone who wants
To be with you when you need someone
Someone to cheer you on
When you need someone to be with
You'll find the best of me
When you need someone
I need someone, I need someone
Well I can be so confused

Don't come back, don't come back
Don't come back, don't come back
Don't, don't, don't come back
Don't come back, don't come back
Don't come back, don't come back
Don't, don't, don't come back

No one's going to pull us apart
There's no one else you won't see
And you'll say you think it too
That you need it like I need my man
You've got it all twisted
And nothing brand new
You're just another voice waving
Through the air
Fools calling amongst fools who've grown
All for the protection of
Well I'm the only one that cares
And I'm the protect these
Secrets from my past
Blinded by many years of experience
And I've never yet ruled the world
But I've thought about changing
For the better
And I've learned so much more than this now
Well I've learned a lot more than you
And I've learned more than I've known
I'm not afraid of losing my mind
I can be cruel with somebody new

Don't come back, don't come back
Don't come back, don't come back
Don't, don't, don't come back
Don't come back, don't come back

Don't come back, don't come back
Don't, don't, don't come back
