The theory of rock states: rock music should light up a crowd, potentially blow out a few eardrums when cranked up to “11,” and always stay true to the music.
“Light It Up” successfully proves this theory true. “Light It Up” is the second full-length album from the band Rev Theory, formerly known as Revelation Theory. It’s currently available in stores and on iTunes.
The five-member group from Massachusetts creates a good rock music sound that can induce head banging as easily as it can the occasional teary eye with tracks like “You’re The One.”
By far the best song on the 10-track album is “Hell Yeah,” which has been featured on World Wrestling Entertainment. Likeable and fast-paced, “Hell Yeah” has a tendency to stick in one’s memory. And with catchy lyrics such as “give me a hell/ give me a yeah/ stand up right now, get ready to go/ pushing the pedal to the floor/ I’m begging for more/ you better hold on tight,” that’s not really a surprise.
The title track “Light It Up,” was also featured on a WWE pay-per-view event. The rest of the tracks follow the themes of love, adventure, angst and the ever popular rock ’n’ roll subject: sex.
The band sounds remarkably similar to Papa Roach. On first listen, some fans might even think they’ve purchased the wrong album. But Rev Theory does come into its own on a few tracks, such as “Wanted Man” and “Ten Years.” Lead vocalist, Rich Luzzi, softens up his voice and doesn’t rely as heavily on the mid-part of his range. This allows for an easier listen, though all the tracks retain their own individual merits.
Rev Theory listeners could likely draw comparisons to Saliva, Buckcherry and Seether.
