Track taken from debut album "Kind Words For Cruel Times" released on the newly formed "Under The Influence Records". The Reverse are a North London based indie, folk band, described as "90's-style literate guitar-pop. Kind of Belle and Sebastian meets Pulp meets Lloyd Cole". They've recently been touring and earlier this year had a dream come true when they were joined onstage by Billy Bragg whilst performing at the "Under The Influence Billy Bragg tribute" as part of The Great Escape Festival. The Reverse have self released three previous EPS between 2006-8 which were well received and had some radio play on both BBC6Music and XFM. "Kind Words For Cruel Times" is their first album. They're playing as part of The End Festival in Crouch End on 15th Nov. "Under The Influence records" was set up by members of the band who run the UTI night as a way to showcase new artists. "Under The Influence" is a monthly night at The Boogaloo in North London, where new acts perform two of their own songs and one cover by the featured artist of the month.

BIO
The Reverse is a North London based indie guitar band, described as  "90's-style literate guitar-pop". They've released three previous EPS  between 2006-8 which were well received and had radio play on both  BBC6Music and XFM.

In 2013, they released their debut album, "Kind Words For Cruel Times"  on their own "Under The Influence Records" (emerging from their own  regular live event and podcast where acts perform originals &  covers).

With the addition of a new bass player, Teresa Kelly, and a more urgent sound, the band are gaining more fans and interest through the  release of the recent new singles which have included plays from Gary  Crowley on BBC Radio London and a live session for Dexter Bentley on  Resonance FM.

The band had an eventful 2019, seeing them record a full live session for Gary Crowley at BBC London, performing at Standon Calling alongside IDLES and Echo & The Bunnymen, signing to Blang Records​, headlining their own night and supporting The Wave Pictures.

Their second album is due for release on Blang records April 2020 (home to Brix & The Extricated, David Cronenberg's Wife and more).

The band have performed with acts including Billy Bragg, The Wave Pictures, Pete Astor, Warmduscher, Carina Round, Wallis Bird and Klaxons.

Nathan also performs solo as Nat The Hammer and runs the acoustic night and podcast Under The Influence.                                                                       http://undertheinfluencenight.com                                                             http://natthehammer.com
