Revelation Theory
Having played on the Bad Boys of Rock Tour 2007 with Hinder, Papa Roach and Buckcherry, Revelation Theory must now find a way to move to the next level of the rock industry. The band’s foundation is fairly solid, especially with tunes such as "Slow Burn," a powerful rock and roll effort that is sonically special. But judging from the information about Revelation Theory (or lack of it) online, this band is at the point where more serious marketing is necessary. The acoustic version of "Slow Burn" shows some of the versatility of this quartet.
Revelation Theory went to Vancouver, British Columbia in October and November of 2007 to complete a CD with producer Brian Howes, who also put the finishing touches on Hinder and Puddle of Mudd. In fact, 2007 was a huge year for RT, as the group played hundreds of shows and sold its self-titled CD by the thousands. Moves made by the band this year included coming to terms with Interscope Records. Hailing from New York by way of college in Massachusetts, Revelation Theory works with Idol Roc Entertainment for management, bookings etc.
The band’s newest compilation will be out in the spring of 2008.

It seems to me that the older the band, the less likely they are to actually write new music and put out a real album. (Certain exceptions are bands like The Eagles - although they spent several years after reuniting touring on their old standbys. And I realize they do not actually qualify as an indie band )
That said why is Revelation Theory putting out a compilation album? Have they run out of steam and just don’t want to take the time to put pen to paper? What’s the deal?
I have to admit to wondering why the heck they’re putting a mixed cd out. I’m about as confused as Shadow above me. I never heard of these guys till now, and they really do have some great music going on. Hell Yeah is one heck of a great song, and Light it Up reminds me so much of Hinder. I agree though- Have they run out of steam? It’s more difficult to think up songs as the band grows older. It happens all the time except with the few bands that have managed to make it work through one means or another.
You do have some bands that just keep going and going and going (think Aerosmith) but for the most part, some bands just can’t top what they did in their prime. I’m not sure why Revelation Theory is already putting together a compilation album or even if that is indeed what their album is going to entail, but I do know that music business is pretty tough, and something when the going gets tough, many bands just can’t get going with it. I do wish them success though.
Why do all of you think its a compilation album. The definition of compilation is the act of compiling. In this case I think the author meant new songs being compiled onto a disc.
Ah, good catch Brian. I was thinking that myself too after looking at the site and saw the new single release, and then coming back and re-reading here, I think we all maybe read that a bit too fast and/or misunderstood what the author was saying.
