One of the things that makes Rock ’n’ Roll great is its little imperfections and riding on the edge of disaster, knowing full well that any second it could all just fall apart. What if the swamp sucked down Jon Spencer, The Rolling Stones, Captain Beefheart and the Stooges, then spewed a twisted, spitting, frenzied Chimera back into the Thames Estuary? It might look and sound just a bit like The Boy From The Crowd, the two-man team that’s putting the boot back into the blues with a raw new sound and a whole heap of punk attitude.

The east London based band consists of Vinny Piana (vocals, guitar) who believes in creating beauty from a broken heart and twisted guitar squalls. Vegas Ivy (drums, belly dancing) believes the harder you hit something the better it sounds. Their first single is a deliciously filthy phat slice of scuzzed-up alternative blues rock with a catchy hook that will drill a jagged little hole in your brain and implant itself forever. This song is about some of the most primal feelings a man or woman can have. It’s about the bands ongoing, desperate quest to find their soul mate, the doubts that always arise as to whether they have made the right choice and the feelings of powerlessness and despair that result. Revelator is how Rock ‘n’ Roll sounds in London 2014. It’s a revelation, and really, that’s all you need.
