Revelation

Spawned in Glastonbury, the British center of music festivals, Reef were born to deliver. The band found together in 1994, the height of brit-pop. Nevertheless, their sound was less like the Beatles and more accredited to The Rolling Stones and The Black Crows. It was a formula that payed, and which resulted in four incredibly well-received studio albums Replenish (UK #9, silver), Glow (UK #1, silver in first week, 38 weeks in charts), Rides (UK #3) and Getaway (UK #15). Their success and steadfast fan base can not only be credited to their great musical talent and signature style, but also to years and years of touring which earned them opening slots for The Rolling Stones or Soundgarden. Reef split ways in 2000 only to reunite again in 2010. Their return was well-overdue and the band nowhere near faded. In 2016, the band released the single 'How I Get Over' which made it to the Top 20 most played songs on BBC Radio 2 that year - all without being signed to a label. If you attach credence to the name of Reef s albums allegorizing a specific phase of the band s history, Revelation is a special one. The band without a doubt have evolved musically well beyond their initial charm. 'Revelation' gives insight into this advancement, without giving any doubt that it is a true Reef album. Interestingly, the album also featured a duet with no other than Sheryl Crow. With songs like 'Revelation' or 'Like A Ship (Without A Sail)', the band doesn t simply try to copy their past sound but cleverly fuse their past musical experiences into what Reef is today a musically evolved and successful band which has accumulated a very devoted fan base and is full of new ideas. Revelation is available on CD, 180Gram Vinyl and Digital
