"In 1978, everybody was in a band. As a backlash against disco, the eclectic underground new wave movement exploded in all directions. From poetry to punk, hardcore to art rock, all were unified by energy, excess and a contempt for the ordinary. The Revelons were pivotal to this exciting time, their angst-ridden poetry set to melodious, hard-driving rhythms. Band leader Gregory Lee Pickard's vocalizations have been described as 'rival[ing] David Bowie or David Byrne,' his delivery characterized as 'unhinged and intense,' and his use of abstract, poetic lyrics positioned as a link between Tom Verlaine and Patti Smith. Herein are recordings compiled from numerous sources and incarnations that reflect the band's evolution, including commercially released material, studio sessions, live performances and three newly recorded tracks especially written for this album."
