    I saw the Revs and some of the Devlins in the Maynooth SU last night........ the Revs are utter sh!te! They play such crap songs badly that it hurts to listen. I cant believe that they are causing so much hype :mad:
    p.s they covered foxy lady and destroyed it.

    I feel kind of sorry for these guys. Not that I like their music very much, but they've had a colossal backlash against them and all they're doing is replicating that whole Blink 182 thing that every band that wants to be succesful is doing at the moment. Harmless enough, really... Although that unbelievably irritating advert they had on Phantom a few weeks back made me want to punch things.

    I thought they were very good, especiually when they kept going for ages with no power for their intruments, expecially the second time the power went,

    my mate told me they dont even get much money from any music label???

    What the fcuk is wrong with youy guys. Whats wrong with harmless rock music. I've seen The Revs, and they are great live. We all know it's not easly for a rock band to play a night club. Well i seen The Revs in cuba, Galway, they blew me away. There wasn't one person sittin on their holes. They know know to work a crowd, play their instruments, and have a good time. Sometimes i wonder why people listen to music, for me it's a pick me up.

    the revs stank at the ucd ball
    melaton were ok
    aussie nirvana were the best...loved the accents (is the lead singer english???? coz my austrailian friend spent the entire set shouting "oh my God, he's such a liar he's not even austrailian, the other two better be austrailian") on some of the songs....

    there's nothing wrong with 'harmless rock' but if the hype surrounding your band is centred on one incredibly irritating piece of sub-blink 182 **** (and sub blink 182 is pretty bad) then you should expect a backlash. the revs are ****; their music isn't original, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing (see; the strokes, belle + sebastian, daft punk) if it's also boring and crap then you're in trouble.

    hopefully they'll die a horrible horrible death soon (but not literally, we don't want people claiming they were musical geniuses)
