Let My Revolver shoot your heart with their music

December 1st 2007 06:57
Comprising of Mark Joseph, Billy Riordan, Ian McCarten (see previously posted interview), Carlos Zerzan & Adam Sandoval, My Revolver is (S)rock n (F)roll, at it's best. I have personally been a fan for around three years. Sometimes, I need a little scream on top of my tune - and these guys gimme what I am looking for without losing out on the beat or melody. This is real rock - it's alive and rolling.

My Revolver offer us twelve tracks on their debut (self-titled) album. It was mixed and produced by Flying Kitchen (Boone Spooner - who currently drums for Madelia and is the son of the famed Bill Spooner - & Mike Winger) and the band. The album was recorded at Sound Arts Studio in good old San Francisco, and then mastered at Kimmich Tunes in Clearlake. Mathew Zipkin & Ariana Valazquez are also featured on this album
