I first posted about the band Colour Revolt way back here, but they’ve come a long way since then. Through concerts, practice sessions, and gear getting swiped, the guys have managed to create a full-length album that is phenomenal. If you liked what they did on the EP, you’ll love the new (that’s a relative word) album Plunder, Beg, and Curse.
Colour Revolt is Jimmy Cajoleas, Len Clark, Jesse Coppenbarger, Sean Kirkpatrick, and Patrick Addison. Together they create a masterful soundscape of heavy-edged, high-energy music that is like nothing else out there. Screaming guitars, intense vocals, smooth bass lines, and some hard-pounding drums bring everything together for a sound that is much bigger and more polished than they had on their EP.
I loved the EP, but this album makes it sound almost boring.
I’m not gonna spend a long time describing the music of Colour Revolt. Just download the couple songs I’ve got here, head over to MySpace for another one, and buy the rest of the album. If you’re into high-energy music, you’re gonna love it.
These guys have a mature, well-developed sound that retains its freshness and energy, and the album does a good job of showing off their ability to make songs that all have a similar feel without all sounding the same. This is raw, dynamic energy mixed with a full, creative sound.
Check out a YouTube video of the guys playing Naked and Red (right here), and then download these two songs and go grab the whole album on e-music:

really? I thought the EP was WAY better. I guess I just like that more raw and edgy sound.

That’s true, the EP did have that raw, edgy sound the full album seems to be missing. I think what I like about the full album over the EP is the broadness of the sound. The EP showed Colour Revolt as a band that could do raw and edgy really well, but the full album shows they can do slow and intense, dark and brooding, and more straight-forward rock as well. I do miss the raw energy of the EP though. In some ways the full album sounds like a totally different band.
