Revelino
Broadcaster
(Dirty/CD)
Kevin Courteney
Dublin guitar giants Revelino release their sophomore album, signalling their avowed intent to broadcast to a wider audience. Songs like 'Radio Speaks', 'Step On High' and 'Rollercoaster' have that Fender-bending edge, but there's an added depth to songs like 'Down The Streets', 'All Hope Is Fading' and 'Close'. Overall the tunes are firmer, the harmonies more heavenly, and the sense of adventure is palpable. 'Stay Down' and 'Been And Gone' bear the inevitable B***les lineage, but the Brit-crits will probably lump them in with Britpop bands like Dodgy. Not a bad thing, really.
