Accompanying the release is the heartfelt and moving new single ‘Least I Can Do’, guitarist Matt Hudson opens up “I had wanted to write something that meant something to my family...then all of a sudden I got a call from my wife to be and she told me I was going to become a father. I wanted to leave my daughters a message of truth; that life is not all going to be roses and sunshine but when it goes wrong you can always come to me and I'll help, it's the least I can do. One day I won't be here for them but this song will be.”
The new offering doesn’t knock but kicks the doors in with the appropriately titled and rebellious ‘Public Service Announcement’, “It’s about growing up, being told what to do and ultimately wanting to shut everyone up and do life on your own terms”, along with previous lead single ‘Best Medicine’ being a Classic Rock Track of The Week with them enthusing “it’s that guitar solo that really kicks it up a notch – a lovely, classy swirl of southern dirt, pensive twists and bright 70s flair”. There are anthemic choruses, hook laden and searing riffs in ‘Runaway Rage’ juxtaposed by the reflective ‘Miss You’; “These songs are written from very emotional places and places that everyone can relate to in their own individual way.” All of the tracks were self-produced by the band, recorded at Studio 91 in Berkshire with mastering handled by Dave Draper (The Wildhearts, Terrorvision, Dodgy).
Formed in 2023, the quintet of Sam Lay (vocals, guitar) Matt Hudson (guitar), Robin Nutley (bass) and Carl Donoghue (drums) bring a huge rock sound with a southern spin and have had favorable comparisons to rock household names from Chris Cornell and Alter Bridge through to Black Stone Cherry. Their debut EP 'What A Time To Be Alive' was released to critical acclaim in May 2024 and the band are making waves on the live circuit having wowed at shows and festivals alike including Firevolt Manchester. This is all reflected in their live album release ‘What A Time To Be Live’ with Backseat Mafia stating “One of the best guitar releases of the year” and Powerplay Magazine enthusing “One of most refreshing and exciting sounds around.”
Revenant are bringing their message to the masses that this isn’t just a bit of fun, “What we’re hoping the listener takes from us are songs that will bring back memories for them at significant points in their lives and playing live is where it’s at for us, we just love vibing with everyone and hanging out after.” 2025 has already seen them play to packed out crowds and will see them take the stage at festivals including the third iteration of Maid of Stone, Quarantune Rocks and Steel Paws along with a plethora of shows including support to Brave Rival and co-headlines with stablemates AK & The Red Kites. In addition to the new EP release, they also offer to all those who sign up to ‘The Revenant Ones’, the band's fan club, via their website a free live acoustic EP download. Firmly flying their flag for all to see, “We write about what we know and always want to tell a story or take you on a journey. We’re right where we need to be and we can’t wait for more, this is just the start.”
