Pop Rock Trio Still Alive And Kicking With ‘Another Year, Still Here’
“When we were half way through recording this E.P, we came so close to packing it all in,” recalls Zoë Waugh, guitarist and co-vocalist of Doncaster born, Brighton based pop rock quartet, ReVerbed; “Ultimately, we couldn’t bring ourselves to give up on six years of hard work. So, we are still here, still strong and still loving what we do.”
Formed during their secondary school years, ReVerbed – completed by guitarist and co-vocalist George Donoghue, drummer Josh and bassist Joe – have managed what most high school bands don’t – to stay together, through college, University, jobs, MySpace… : “We’ve been together through thick and thin,” says Zoë, “We started in our small hometown in the Yorkshire scene, and then began touring the UK when we were all about 16 – our work ethic is really important to us.”
ReVerbed’s latest release, the appropriately titled Another Year, Still Here, sees the self proclaimed ‘road dogs’ going back to their roots, drawing on the likes of Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday for inspiration: “This release took a more poppy turn for us,” opines Zoë, “Our previous record was darker and angrier, and generally more negative than this release. After the band almost imploded we took a step back to our roots, and focused on our more Pop Punk, alt rock and even emo influences.”
Indeed, Another Year, Still Here is positively bursting with pop rock sass, the dual vocal interplay of Zoë and fellow guitarist and co-vocalist George Donoghue snap, crackle and popping across ridged guitar riffs and hooky refrains. “This release was the product of a 12 track album we recorded, but we decided these four songs were the best moments and to just focus on releasing these,” explains Zoë. “The themes cover the band’s near demise and our honest feelings towards it, as well as the hope that it’s all going to be ok, no matter what we go through and we can get through this together.”
