February 19, 2014

It might have been two years since we heard from Rev Theory but their songs have continued to dominate the airwaves. During those two years, members of the band spent some much needed time off from touring, followed their inner compasses to travel and explore the world each fulfilling personal dreams and inner desires. Well, they are definitely back and with a new song that will show everyone they mean business…. STRAIGHT UP ROCK AND ROLL. Their new song, Red Light Queen is amazing from start to finish. It has a Rob Zombiesque intro and comes right off with those robust vocals we have loved from Rich Luzzi.
