| Written by Lane Klozier I've got a soft spot in my heart for British influence music. I caught an act recently called Revolush that encompassed all that is Brit. They don't leave it there, though. There's plenty of American '70s influence to be had, as well. Musically these guys have what it takes to get it done. Influences ranging from Cheap Trick to XTC emerge with a sound that mesmerizes track after track. Guitarist Bill Reuter breezes through catchy hooks as singer Tommy Hahn fronts with a Zander-like presence. It doesn't get any better vocally, with sharp two-part harmonies and Hahn displaying one of the best new voices on the scene. If I were in the record business, I'd sign these guys, dress ‘em up in fancy clothes and make a few million parading their asses all over the MTV. |

| It's hard to tell exactly what Milwaukee's Revolush mean when they describe their music on the MySpace page as sounding like "God yawning." Is He bored? Doubtful. |

| The road to success in the world of pop-based rock is a hard one, but Milwaukee's Revolush is approaching their goal with the right tools. With influences ranging from Cheap Trick to Elvis Costello, the band uses melody as its cornerstone to create songs that are catchy and fresh. Their new release, Crystal Method Actors, was produced by David Vartanian (Violent Femmes, Talking Heads,) whose prowess in the field of pop is legendary. Gushing love songs are complemented by standard power-pop tracks for a release sure to please those with a taste for radio-ready rock. |

| Revolush melds the bluesy, melodic rock of the late ‘70s with upbeat tunes reminiscent of Brit-pop pioneers like (pre-Paul Carrack) Squeeze. While this might seem retrogressive, it gives the Milwaukee band a sound unlike many of the homogenous major-label brands currently clogging the charts. |

| With a sound sweeter than your mother's Christmas cookies, Revolush offers a respite from the usual bar band experience. With a concoction of powerful hooks and rock and roll sensibilities, the band is an intriguing addition to Milwaukee's rock scene. |
