Revolver Modele is a band from Minneapolis, MN which seems to gear toward the post-punk rock-n-roll sounds leaning on heavy influence from the Rockabilly genre as well as early goth act Joy Division. They seem to have refined the sound so as not to even come close to gothabilly but instead recreate the Joy Division sound with a modern edge and a bit more variance. "Serenade" actually sounds like it could be a cover song and is reminiscient of New Order, the later incarnation of the band after Ian Curtis' death. While I like Revolver Modele they sound too much like thier sound is taken too much from the band which saw it's demise before the 1980's really got started. However, they do not rely on drum machine and do use all live instruments. I like what they are doing and it's nice to hear this sound come back but I think the band should spend a bit more time on restructuring so as not to sound like a copycat project, they obviously have the potential as they have even continued the 'artistic' bent that Joy Division started with. From the few reviews I've seen of their live performances and from the last track on this EP which is also live they obviously have a good vibe going with their audiences and create a nice ambience. Definitely something to build upon. They also capture the early punk feel of just raw expression with their music, especially vocally and I think there is much potential here. They will obviously appeal to fans of the late Joy Division but will hopefully introduce some fans to a 'new' sound as well. I think in order to get an accurate impression of this band we'll just have to watch them over time and see what their full-length CD brings and how they grow as time passes.
