Shane from Wilsonville asks:
I am trying to find a band from the early 90s. I believe they were called
Rev. I remember the album cover was black and silver and the music was
great and alternative. I had a cassette which has since been long lost.
Help me … please.
Alan Answers:
In the last 15 years, there have been several bands with the name Rev. I’m
wondering if your band was a Canadian group called “Rev.” (spelled with a
period at the end of their name). They had one album from 1995 called If
the Color Hurts (black cover with gold text). Does that sound familiar?




He’s likely thinking of the alternative band Mercury Rev - kind of an early offshoot of the Flaming Lips.
