So 2014 was pretty cool; we got to play with a lot of awesome bands, released 2 records, said goodbye to one member and hello to a new one. As winter approaches, it's time for us to settle in and really focus on writing new material, which will hopefully be recorded (and maybe released) next year. We might play a show here or there if the spirit moves, but mostly we'll be hunkering down in the practice space.
Stay Warm,
Scobie/Rev

And the Torch Gets Passed....
After five years of the same five bastards making noise in
this band, we have a line-up change to announce. Steve will be stepping out of
the Rev to focus the bulk of his energy on taking over the world with Hollow
Earth. Steve is a founding member of our band and has played a huge role in the
songs we have written together, so while we understand and support his decision
100%, it's definitely a little bittersweet.
That said, we're pumped to announce that our good friend Nik
Hubbard will be taking over for Steve. You may know Nik from his time in
Retribution; dude knows his way around the fret board and then some. We've
already started working with him a little bit on material for the LP and we're
definitely excited to have him involved in the writing process going forward.
Nik's first show with us will be this Saturday in Toledo at
the OT with Homewrecker, Pharoah, Mutilatred, and Discerned. Come throw him the
horns.
Steve will be playing his last show with us Devil's Night in
Detroit at Yonka House with Axis, Eternal Sleep, Hollow Earth, and Lost Track.
Come help us tell him to go fuck himself. (-:

Things....
We've been kind of slacking on updating this thing for a while now, but we have lots going on. First things first, we released a new split 7" with our friends in Sunlight Ascending a couple of months ago. They came out really cool and we're excited we got to work with such good friends and talented musicians.
Next, our other new 7" "Natural Burial" should be out very soon. The awesome dudes at How Soon is Now, Hydrogen Man, and Protagonist are teaming up to release that for us and we're really thankful to all of them for putting their faith in us and lending a hand. We are doing a small run out to Philly and back next weekend to celebrate the release. The dates are as follows:
Friday, May 2nd in Columbus, Ohio with Northern Widows and Prize the Doubt.
https://www.facebook.com/events/6104968623...71216/
Saturday, May 3rd in Philly at Lava with Capacities, Manalive, and Limits.
https://www.facebook.com/events/267511983430233/267519670096131/
Sunday May 4th in Pittsburgh with Blood Red and others TBA **Matinee Show**
https://www.facebook.com/events/234581743405488/235236360006693/
After that a local release show is happening May 10th at Yonka with our friends in Old Soul as well as SNAFU and La Armada.
Beyond that, Steve will be on tour a lot of this year with Hollow Earth so the rest of us will be working on new songs. After a demo, two split 7 inches, our own 7 inch, and a 10 inch, we've decided the next logical step is an LP. Never thought we'd say that but we're gonna go for it. We already have rough skeletons for about three new songs and have a bunch more riffs hanging around so we'll be in the practice space a lot this year. It would be sweet to record by the end of this year or early next year; we'll see how that pans out, haha.
In non band-related activities, Aaron has been blogging about life, love and regret via http://maybeitscomplicated.blogspot.com/. My dude is an amazing writer, go check it out.
I've been doing lots of interviews with music people via http://scobonixxx.blogspot.com/ and I'm also starting a little label called Dropping Bombs. The first release is a one-sided 7" from the homies in Spit Spewing Snakes. That should be out in the next week or two.
This Fall will be five years that we've been playing shows. I know for me it feels surreal that it's been that long and I continue to love having this band as a vehicle for fun, stress relief and personal expression. To anyone that gives a shit about us; whether it's been for a week or going on 5 years now, thanks.

Records Coming Out, Shows Coming Up
Happy new year everybody, we're pretty stoked on what 2014 has in store for us.
First things first, our split 7" with Sunlight Ascending has been at the plant for a few weeks. We should have tests in hand soon, pre-orders and a full stream of the record should be up in the next little while.
After that, we have another new 7" entitled "Natural Burial" coming out around April. We're super psyched to announce that the record will be released collaboratively by our friends at How Soon is Now, Hydrogen Man, and Protagonist. All three labels are run by awesome people who we couldn't be happier to be working with. Also, the layout for that bad boy is being handled by Alex CF from Light Bearer/Fall of Efrafa, and all we can say is the stuff we have seen so far has been super sick.
In addition to the records coming out, we have a bunch of rad shows coming up for the first little bit of the year:
Tuesday, Jan 7th at Anna's apartment in Detroit with Discourse, Hollow Earth, and Peach Pit.
Saturday, January 11th at Yonka in Detroit with No More, From Hell, Not Ok, Spit Spewing Snakes, and Serve & Defy.
Tuesday, January 14th again at Yonka in Detroit with Hollow Earth, Retribution, and a special guest that everyone will mosh and sing along too. It's gonna be bad fucking ass.
Sunday, February 16th at Refuge in Dearborn with Dangers, Left of the Dial, and End Trails.
Other than that, Steve will be recording a new full length with Hollow Earth at the start of February, you're not ready for that shit.
Stay warm,
Rev

Hello Fall.
What's up? We've got a couple things on the docket. First things first. We are playing the final Under Anchor show on Saturday, September 7th at Genesis in Royal Oak. If you're a Michigan hardcore kid you know how important Under Anchor and its various members have been in our scene over the last 5 years or so. Brent Fisher has pressed UA's LP "There is No End" on vinyl, so you can pick that up as well. Attending this show is a no brainer. Oh yeah, Aaron will be out of town that weekend, so it looks like our friend Dylan from Shudders will be filling in on vocals. Sick.
Secondly, we finally nailed down dates to record our new 7" which will be released by our good friend Chris from How Soon is Now Records. We will be heading to Chicago from October 4th-6th to record at Bricktop Studios with Andy Nelson. Andy recorded our friends in Clockwork and he's also done some big stuff like Harm's Way and whatnot. The record will sound huge, we're excited for it.
Otherwise, Boneshaker has a new drummer and are playing shows again, so look out for that. Hollow Earth is slowly working on new material. Alex's other project No Funeral is slogging along, they need a singer though.
We have one other really cool announcement we're keeping up our sleeves for a bit, hopefully we'll be able to talk about that soon.

Heating up for Summer
Not sure how six months went by with no blog updates, but here we are. Lots going on in the Rev camp these days. We started tracking a new song last night for a split 7" that we're planning to do as a d.i.y. release. I hate recording and I have dreams where I fight click tracks so all I can say is that Chris Trestain is a saint. More details on the split will be announced once both bands have their songs in the bag.
We have two shows coming up in the next couple weeks, June 15th at The Painted Lady and June 17th at Refuge. Originally Mike Moy from Hollow Earth was going to fill in on those shows, but Steve's Shai Hulud summer party isn't starting until July now so have no fear, his golden locks will be gracing the stage with us.
We're still in the process of figuring out when we'll be recording our other 3 new songs for the 7" that How Soon is Now will be releasing. We originally had plans for Chicago at the end of summer, but it appears as though the Shai Hulud fun is now going to interfere with that )-:
Otherwise, I did an interview with my old friend Tom Schlatter for his blog. If you're bored you can go read my typical long-winded answers here. http://onepathforme.blogspot.com/
In other Rev-related activities, Sam's other band Boneshaker has a new drummer so they should hopefully be gearing up to play more shows soon. Alex started a new punk rock band with a bunch of our good friends and it blazes in Propagandhi-esque fashion. Steve is in the process of recording a new 7" with Tharsis They which promises to steal your significant other and light your speakers on fire.
Aaron and I are dads so we change diapers, take our kids to the park, and hope for long naps.
Here's to hoping your summer is filled with such splendor.

HARVEST & AXIS & WRITING
Hi all! My apologies for taking so long to update. We tend to post more on FB than here, sorry about that. But we have a couple shows coming up, a couple new songs in the works, and some hopes of doing a northeastern/western-Michigan weekend this winter! For anyone unaware, we're working on putting together 3 songs for a 7" due out this spring thru our friend Chris Zibutis and his label How Soon Is Now Records (http://www.facebook.com/HSINRecords). The songs will deal with my feelings around fatherhood and my sweet lil'-baby-cake-o'-wheat, Frances.
Since i'm not savvy enough to know how to post pics of flyers on this thing, here are the links to FB pages for the Harvest and Axis shows coming up:
http://www.facebook.com/events/515478258463436/, http://www.facebook.com/events/238956939563989/
Okay, happy holidays, see you around, hope you're well, and say 'hi' if you run into any of us! do it!
-Aaron/GR8 REV.
ps. hopefully when scobie looks at this thing he'll fix it so there are images....
