Its all about...

About Me

MARVINS REVOLT IS...
a three-piece out of Copenhagen, Denmark making angular and catchy tunes. Touched by sounds from the present and the past, but forging their own path, regardless of scenes or trends. The songs appear as intense, challenging and melodic structures, with disregard for songwriting rules.
Marvins Revolt started out as a quartet in 2002 and released their first piece of rock in 2004. It was noisy and aggressive. They played shows in just about every town in Denmark and the music developed into the more complex sound of their debut album, Fell in Love with Tanks & Satellites, released in 2006.
In late 2006 the band reformed into a trio. Music wise the reformation resulted in a less noisy, more complex but yet more melodic approach, and Killec is the fresh and exciting sound of a new-born collective.
The release of Killec is being followed up by touring action around Europe.
Marvins Revolt mutates into a four-piece monster when playing live!

Snippets from Killec reviews: (totally manipulating - see blog for full reviews!)

'Times Will Change' raises the bar some more, making Marvins Revolt not just an amazing Scandinavian pop band, but one of the best bands of the year. - Die Shellsuit, Die! (UK)

Marvins Revolt, today a three-piece, have created a very exciting album, completely forging its own musical path. A progressive little delicacy. - Diskant (DK)

They've taken that noiserock/post-punk they were doing and taken way further out into prog territory. More notes, more starts, more stops, and yes, more better. – it’s a trap! (US)

Killec is an intense rollercoaster ride, crooked metres rubbing shoulders with edgy riffs and surprisingly lyrical melodies. – Gaffa (DK)

Described as “experimental indie” , this label certainly applies here but like other Popular artists such as Adebisi Shank and The Vinny Club have an insane ear for making addictive noisy tunes. It's an impressive release... - Nialler9.com (Ire)

Quality speaks for itself! I want more! More! – Arbejderen (DK)

Abgedreht, souverän und sehr sie selbst, diese Dänen. - Nordische Musik (DE)

In the past, I always liked Marvins Revolt but they could never keep my attention for a long time. This changed with the new record which underlines the great progression of the band. – Disagreement (Lux)

You won't get bored. It might be because the frequent pitch changes mess with your inner rhythm box. It might be because the compositions catches your verse-chorus-verse expectations off guard all the time, and it's definitely because you have to stay alert at all times to figure out what the songs are moving towards. In other words; the second album from Marvins Revolt is an interesting and unorthodox rock album. - Soundvenue (DK)

Their super technical, complex guitar licks and instrumentation don't make for an easy listen - MR is well worth it though... - Come Pick Me Up (US)

I’m gonna ask you to trust me on this. Play this song as if there was no tomorrow. – Me and the Horse I Rode In On (DK)

No matter whether you chose to put up with Marvins Revolt’s artistic approach or not, you can’t neglect that Killec is an excellent album. - Geiger (DK)

Marvins Revolt are unlike any band I've heard before - in an extremely good way. From the moment they started up, the off-kilter rhythms and timing caught everyone by surprise. Each immaculately timed stop and start seemed to punctuate a stab at a different genre; ridiculously, they all flowed together into coherent 3 and 4 minute songs that work fantastically well. - www.shamzine.com (live review) (UK)

On this show, we also heard Deliberate Deeds from Marvins Revolt, who hail from Denmark, are signed to Irish DIY Popular Records, and who played in The Boom Boom Room last Wednesday night with support from Adebisi Shank. They were pretty fucking cool and Deliberate Deeds is as catchy as chlamydia. - The Indie Hour (Ire)

Marvins Revolt are one of the best live bands you will ever see. A statement of fact. - The Defeat (Reading, UK)
