Revere are a seven-piece, London-based band. They bind together a back-bone of drums and guitars with an unlikely approach to the violin, cello, and piano. The line-up is complimented by colliery-style brass set against layers of fractured vocal samples and distorted synths. ==Biography== Initially formed by Stephen Ellis, Revere (named after a comic-strip in 2000AD)〔Selena, Yasmin (2008) "(Revere play space-age gospel )" (feature), Times Online〕 wrote and performed with a rotating line up until 2005 when Ellis relocated to London.
