“chordata” out Now!

ReVoLtReVoLt’s Chris Bock, Ben Brunn, and Jasin Serna are all familiar faces within the Boise music scene. Venturing in and out of many bands as frontman and support player for well over a decade, Chris also began playing shows as BOCK, both with a band and solo performer. Chris’s musical resume includes Geyser, The Hand, and The Treatment (plus a few others) and he’s played alongside members of Treepeople, Dirt Fishermen and System & Station. In 2005 he moved to Boston and performed solo in venues across the Eastern United States. When he found himself back in Boise a couple of years later he connected with long time friend Jason Serna (Happenstance, Me and My Ego, Doublewide, The Treatment) to play drums/percussion in BOCK. The Chris/Jason duo brought some new energy to Chris’s songs and the project quickly became a joint venture. Songs were brought to the table by both musicians, and a new identity was conceived, ReVoLtReVoLt. This new two-piece took to the road and toured the Northwest, driving hundreds of miles for weekend winter gigs throughout Idaho and Oregon. In the fall of 2008 they hooked up with bassist Ben Brunn (Nevada Bachelors) of Seattle. After a few rehearsals it was evident that Ben’s contribution to ReVoLtReVoLt’s sound was the final piece to the puzzle.

The trio made their debut at Boise’s Terrapin Station (former site of the hallowed Crazy Horse) and many shows and trips around the Northwest followed. This summer the band recorded their debut full length album with legendary Seattle producer Conrad Uno (Mudhoney, Young Fresh Fellows, Presidents of the United States of the USA). chordata will hit the shelves in November and it’s an album that recalls classic NW guitar bands in its heavier moments and the best of 90’s indie rock as the hooks & melodies pile in. Dark and brooding in spots, breezy in others, chordata is a self-assured debut by a band just hitting their stride.
