Revolution, I Love You makes Lo-fi Electro Rock, gritty rock n\' roll with a backbone of drum machines, synthesizers, and subwoofer-pushing bass. The band has toured the US east coast with German rock band Pandora\'s Bliss and has shared the stage with Berlin, Brick + Mortar, and Quiet Company. RILY\'s music video for \"The Atlantic Ocean\" was viewed more than 25,000 times since it\'s release in February 2014, they won Indie Electronic/Dance Band of the Year at the 2013 Tri State Indie Music Awards, and MusicUnderFire named RILY’s single, \"Cotton Shirts,\" one of their Top 100 Tracks of 2012.
Revolution, I Love You culls elements from across the pop spectrum, including gritty indie rock guitars, electronic beats, dramatic choruses, loops, and synthesizers, and uses them to strange and somewhat psychedelic effect. Katrina Murray of The Key (WXPN) says, “Crunchy synth work and loud guitar riffs are central to Revolution, I Love You‘s modern twist on classic rock ‘n roll.”
High school friends Rob Lindgren and Jason Reynolds formed Revolution, I Love You in 2008. They performed as a duo for years, each of them shifting from vocals to guitar to keyboard to a create a densely layered live sound. In 2014, the band welcomed Jeff Ormsby as their new drummer. The unconventional rock trio fuses live drums onto an already eclectic sound. Lindgren says, “This will free us up to try a lot of new things. Stranger things, I hope.”
