Lower Your Weapons

Having played throughout the province of Alberta testing out songs in the band’s growing repertoire, Revolution Engine set out to capture the energy that had become a hallmark of their live shows. Playing many of Alberta’s great venues (The Starlite Room, Station on Jasper, Shakers Roadhouse, Forge on Whyte, Studio Music Foundation, Bohemia, Bo’s Bar & Stage, The Vat, Distortion, The Blind Beggar Pub) and a number of the festivals, the band set its sights on a raw and visceral feel for this new album: “Fist & Flame”.

Revolution Engine’s sound is driven by fat grooves, grinding riffs, and compelling verse. This alchemy of hard rock, hip-hop, and spoken-word influences, fused with a unifying message on many issues of the day, has produced an arresting experience for everyone that encounters this band.

When asked about a Revolution Engine show, fans consistently site the band’s energy, passion, and sincerity.

The band set out from the start to build a sound around a message of hope and purpose, drawing influence from Rage Against The Machine, P.O.D., Project 86, Linkin Park, and Papa Roach, but with a twist on the concept of protest music by promoting that the listener rise above rather than against.
