 Ithaca-based funk-rock band Revision will release their new album “Amplification” on Friday April 25 at Castaways in Ithaca.
In 2007, REVISION played over 120 shows across the country, fueling their touring with a vegetable oil powered van. With the music industry in state of turmoil, independent bands have to think differently to survive. Whether driving long hours to get to the gig, or dumpster diving for fuel, these Ithaca College graduates epitomize the hard working band. Their music grooves, it rocks, and never fails to make a room move.
In addition to touring, over the past six months the band recorded “Amplification” in Boston with producer Matthew Ellard (Elliot Smith, Billy Brag and Wilco, The Slip). With an emphasis on concise tunes and catchy melodic hooks, “Amplification” showcases the band’s musicianship and songwriting prowess.
With REVISION’s incredible set at last years Grassroots, a growing regional presence, and a new record, this event is sure to further the revival of Ithaca’s music scene.
REVISION takes the stage at 10PM and features special appearances from various local performers throughout the night.
