Plunder, Beg and Curse


For those who don't know who Colour Revolt is, learn, and then read on. I picked up their debut album a little while back and was absolutely amazed by it. The mixture of folk, to a dark heavy style of indie was incredible. I've yet to find any band that can blend two such opposite genre's and still come out sounding entirely put together. Last week their full length came out, and as I was just thinking that I had them figured out, they've entirely changed.

The full length "Plunder, Beg and Curse" almost sounds like an entirely different band. A new band that has completely devoured what Colour Revolt used to be and just grew from it. Their musical style is similar, but it's so much more. There are so many different aspects to their style now, there is no way you can categorize this into a genre. So I will do all of you a favor, I'm going to create a genre for them.

For here on out whenever I am asked "what style are they" in regards to the Colour Revolt. I'm just going to reply "the best style". (Don't even try to steal that Rolling Stone)
