Black Box Revelation
I haven’t heard of Belgium’s Black Box Revelation before, but seeing that they’ve played with Girl in a Coma and currently on tour with Beady Eye (yes, that “Oasis minus Noel Gallagher” band), I can tell you that I am very keen on hearing what this band sounds like.
Luckily, I have checked out their new EP, Shiver of Joy and it is good, kind of like ‘rocknrolla’-type (the title track features a cowbell and it’s catchy!). The rest of the EP plays out like they were from the swagger of The Rolling Stones to fuzzy rock Raveonettes. Whatever it is, I liked what I heard.
But don’t take my word for it, CMJ praised them as “foot-stomping, 60s garage rock sounding eerily reminiscent of BRMC…these dudes are extremely talented.”
Also, apparently Minnesota Public Radio seems to love them, check out their live performance on MPR. Songs performed: “High on a Wire,” “Shiver of Joy,” and “Sealed with Thorns.”
Here are their remaining tour dates:
