Inspired by the writings of William Faulner and filled with pop rock hooks, the music of Colour Revolt can be best described as a mix of Emo with the capital E. Formed in Mississippi by Jesse Coppenbarger, Jimmy Cajoleas, Drew Mellon, Len Clark, and Sean Kirkpatrick; their last EP was released back in 2005 and I am so sorry I discovered it only now. After a brillant debut LP entitled “Friends Don’t Speak”, this new EP was produced by Clay Jones, who already worked with the likes of Elvis Costello and Modest Mouse, among others. Well what can I say? Colour Revolt is the perfect mix of what I’d call indie pop, with music created by catchy guitar melodies, soft vocals fused with screams and some rhythms reminiscent of post-hardcore. It’s like a cross between modern bands like Settlefish (on Deep Elm Records) and Sigur Ros or Explosions In The Sky. Songs like “Mattresses Underwater”, with its dual souls or the softer “A New Family” are clearly showing that Colour Revolt is the most promising indie label around so I’d prey record labels to be aware that these guys can change the indie music for good. This EP will anyway be re-released on September 12th on Tiny Evil, an imprint of Interscope Records. (Ps: seriously, I am pissed with modern bands, these days I am listening only to old Bad Religion records and this EP).
