Single: Abra Cadaver Alternate Single: Happy Place Image/Lifestyle/Like Interests Image: A dirty Rock N Roll dive bar, without makeup or flare Lifestyle: Interests: Drinking booze, watching the world go to Hell in a hand basket Story: Dusting themselves off from previous musical exploits, successes and burnouts, the three core members of Revolution Kill Pill found themselves looking for the next real thing to fill their rock n' roll desires. A random post on the internet from Wreck, the vocalist, brought the band together for their first audition and left no one denying the chemistry from the get-go. Jake Newkirk was the drummer guitarist Shay Vanhorn had been searching for to add the monster Bam to any riff possible. Wreck was the spark plug with the original fiery material that brought everyone together in the first place. It felt like home sweet home every time they plugged in and went for it. With several buzz-worthy shows along the Hollywood Strip and an award of Best New Band from Rock City News, Revolution Kill Pill proves that real rock n' roll is not dead. In fact, it's alive and well and never been better.
