MP3 Revmatic - ROCK: Hard Rock
8 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Hard Rock, ROCK: 80''s Rock
Details:
Kingston, Ontario hard rock-cum-grunge poppers Revmatic kicked off the first couple tracks of this self-release (it''s actually from 2002, but I think they''re trying to butter folks up for a new album this summer) in rather, uh, old-school Canadian fashion. What I mean to say is, it sorta leaked through my ears, like Coney Hatch or Moxy would, in different, less complicated days. Then they revved things up with "A Million Times Before", a soaring roots-rocker with thunderous drums and crunchy guitars, and it suddenly hit me- Revmatic are the Canuck Soul Asylum. This epiphany was borne out with "Wait For It Now", a sweetly melodic deadringer for a "Hangtime" out-take, and "You Know What''s Right", which coulda been the lost single-that-never-was on "Candy From a Stranger". Now, I dunno if Revmatic particularly WANT to sound like mid-career Soul Asylum with a few arena-ready cock rock flourishes, but hey, there''s a lotta bands operating with a whole lot less going for them, so why not? Me, I have always liked Soul Asylum - hell, when I was a kid, I loved ''em like disheveled, hippy-ish older brothers- so Revmatic is AOK with me, man. Let their Dim Light Shine, I say.

Here is a few reviews from https://www.tradebit.com of our title track called "Two Feet Away":
Sweet track from a solid band!
Finally! A GOOD song with GOOD production. I like this. Immediately I was into this. The vocals are great! They match the music perfectly and he''s right on! I hope he''s this good live, and I wouldn''t let go of him! Guitars now, great tone and nice chord arrangement too! You guys have an original tone, and the overall song is strong, original, and solid. Nice lead guitar work too. The performence from the band on this song is top notch! A well thought out song for sure. GREAT WORK!

I''m just a mortal man!
Driving rythym during intro! Vocals remind just a touch of Sebastian Bach!! I like the control of the vocals!! Guitars were very cool, they played well together!! GREAT recording! Interesting lyrics!! I like the guitar melodies in the bridge, and solo was well written! Went for solid chops instead of flash!! Not a bad song at all!! I could here this played on the radio!!!! Better than most crap out there! - klyle13 Kettering, Ohio
KINGSTON Oct 2004- It''s been a long time coming but Kingston rockers Revmatic''s new album Ghetto Blaster has hit the streets. Ghetto Blaster follows their 2002 self titled debut that enjoyed much radio play and critical acclaim in both Canada and the U.S. No one trick pony... Revmatic delivers an album that will not only please longtime fans but will gain them many new listeners along the way. To quote The Rolling Stones "I know it''s only rock and roll, but I like it". Hardcore Revheads will be pleased to know that there are no real surprises here. Revmatic didn''t go nu metal or country or try to write that whiny power ballad hit to get them airplay (not that they need one given how much play they are already getting) ...instead they stuck to their guns and churned out more of the kick ass rock that has become synonymous with their name. That isn''t to say that they haven''t evolved or matured... they just simply continue to strive to do what they do... only better. Ghetto Blaster sounds like the next logical step forward for the band. Ghetto Blaster is a fair bit more diverse than their debut ranging from the more typical Revmatic fare of the first single "Take It" and "Away From Here" to heavier moments (like the blistering Black Sabbath like opening riff of "Never Really Know" and break down of "Just Like Before") to a reved up rendition of Madonna''s mid-nineties hit "Secret". The bands keen melodic sense and love for a power pop song hasn''t changed ("From Me" for instance will satisfy fans of "Eileen" and "You Know What''s Right" from the band''s debut disc) but this time out the band has added a few darker tunes ("Falling" and "Something That''s Dead") and some rousing party rock ("This Feeling''s Gonna Shock You" and "Cause a Scene" et al) into the mix. Yet the band still manges to inject some humour into their lyrics ("All ByYourself") as well as a good old f**k track ("House Of Sin") which seems destined to blare out of the speakers at the strip club or on your stereo during late night romp with the wiggler you met at the bar. Either way Revmatic has released one heck of a disc... one that you''d do yourself good to pick up a copy of. So if it''s been a while since you''ve heard a real rock band ...pick this one up and remember how good it once was and how good it could be again. If it helps Ghetto Blaster hasn''t left my uh... Ghetto Blaster... since I got the disc... and it probably won''t leave yours either. Well the proof is in the pudding as they say. Mmmm... pudding.
