"Intoxicating modern rock with a dash of '60s pop styling." Eclectic indie pop/rock band, reminiscent of New Pornographers, REM, XTC and Belly. Strong hooks, efficient songwriting, excellent musicianship, and a helluva fun live show. Founded in 2000 by Seattle scene vets, with 3 full length CDs.

In the studio, the band likes to push the boundaries and mix it up with guest musicians. In 2006 they released "This is My Happy Face" (Urban Cheese Records), which brought trumpet, cello, piano, organ, acoustic guitar and a heavy dose of hand percussion to the vintage drums/bass/jangly guitar sound that has been the band's hallmark.

The C-Rev's have a fun, exciting live show. On stage the band plays with passion and energy, and will rock up even the more laid back songs in their extensive catalog.
