From the mountainous regions of Brooklyn, NY- just above the United North East’s largest oil spill, Revival Times forge a motorik American sound from within the walls of a decrepit casket factory. The six members of Revival Times reacquainted and converged in the summer of 2007 expanding on the then current stable of songs composed by songwriter Gary Tedder on the eponymous Revival Times EP recorded in Austin, TX by Douglas Ferguson. In addition to Gary, the current lineup of the band includes Matt Houston on bass, Ian Savage on guitar, Joseph Noll on trap set, Hunter Bowen on guitar, and Paul Lara on percussion, each adding harmonizing backup vocals throughout the set. Sites, sounds, and smells that have influenced their work include carnitas tacos, Hawkwind, Robert Rauschenberg, Leonard Cohen, Brooklyn nightlife, The Band, the Appalachian Mountain trail, Piel’s, the 13th Floor Elevators, John Fahey, glaciers, Neil Young, and Master and Margarita. The band’s long awaited first show at Brooklyn staple Zebulon resulted in a miniature riot so explosive, that it has been quoted as being the best show of 2007. It was at this point something special was realized, but what that is has yet to be seen. The bands first EP was recorded at the Still in Austin, TX September 24th with Douglas Ferguson, Valerie Klatt, and Joseph Noll. Matt Houston and Paul Lara are currently engineering the band's first full length album of new material to be mixed by Matt Boyton at Vacation Island.
