Lafayette rockers Night Revival spin our heads around with their latest track to jam with in the ‘Green Room’

Posted on 18 June 2022

Dropping their 2nd single that comes after the underground success of their debut ‘Cloud City‘ from 2021, Night Revival is at their exciting best while showing us deep inside the ‘Green Room‘.

Night Revival is a Lafayette, Louisiana-based indie rock outfit who brings forth their bad boy edge and might remind you of a band your concerned parents warned you to stay away from.

”You may not know the whole story, but rumor is, Night Revival is the band you love to hate.” ~ Night Revival

After initially being thwarted by the evil confides of this soul-sucking pandemic, Night Revival never gave up and clearly show that impressive hunger to be known globally with passionate aplomb. The vocals stretch your ears rather expertly and with a barrage of impressive guitar riffs to pour another with, this is a sizzling track that might give you a hangover tomorrow.

”A major part of Night Revival’s development of sound was the addition of the lead guitarist, Logan Swift. As they soon realized the sound they were looking for, and continued their journey in the wave of alternative indie rock, only one thing was missing, a bass player. After an almost never ending search, Sean LaSalle became their saxophone turned bass player, bringing the funk to what they’ve begun.” ~ Night Revival

‘Green Room‘ from Lafayette, Louisiana-based indie rock band Night Revival is one of those songs you turn on loud and take your shirt off with. They shake the speakers and lead us into this late night picture of intrigue that will send you back to early Red Hot Chili Peppers days. The tightly knit crew deliver an explosive gem to gel your hair with, as they get us ready for the evening adventures ahead.
