WATCH

Rising UK rockers Revenant are thrilled to release their slide guitar-laden swinging new single ‘Runaway Rage’, taken from their sophomore EP ‘Best Medicine’ out now on CD and all digital platforms. The band enthuses on the song “Let’s not beat around the bush here, this is about being angry! It’s a vehicle to describe the feeling that rage gives you and how it can be like a runaway train, uncontrollable until it runs out of steam.” Accompanying the release, the super fun comic book stylised video depicts the band (with tongues firmly in cheek) battling through adversaries atop and through a high speed convoy of rail carriages.

On the release of the self-produced 5 track EP the band warmly state “It’s songs about real life, love, angst and everything in between. It’s a collection of tunes that we’ve played live for a year or more now so we know people are going to love hearing how we’ve taken them from the stage and honed them into what they’ve become. We had a fantastic time shaping these and adding various bits of magic-dust to take these to new levels.”

The lead single ‘Best Medicine’ was featured in Classic Rock Tracks of The Week calling it a “classy swirl of southern dirt, pensive twists and bright 70s flair”, the following ‘Least I Can Do’ aired on BBC Introducing and the EP received high and wide acclaim; “This will put them firmly on the map” Rock Radio UK, “An absolutely excellent EP from start to finish” Metalplanet Music, “There is, quite simply, nothing not to like here” Maximum Volume Music and “I can’t recommend this enough to any rock fan, one of my favourite EPs of the year, 9/10!” Overtone Magazine.

Formed in 2023, the 4-piece consisting of Sam Lay (vocals, guitar) Matt Hudson (guitar), Robin Nutley (bass) and Carl Donoghue (drums) bring a huge rock sound with a southern spin and have had favorable comparisons to rock household names from Chris Cornell and Alter Bridge through to Black Stone Cherry. Their debut EP ‘What A Time To Be Alive’ was released to critical acclaim in May 2024 and the band are making waves on the live circuit having wowed at shows and festivals alike including Firevolt Manchester. This is all reflected in their live album release ‘What A Time To Be Live’ with Backseat Mafia stating “One of the best guitar releases of the year” and Powerplay Magazine enthusing “One of most refreshing and exciting sounds around.”

Revenant are bringing their message to the masses that this isn’t just a bit of fun, “What we’re hoping the listener takes from us are songs that will bring back memories for them at significant points in their lives and playing live is where it’s at for us, we just love vibing with everyone and hanging out after.” 2025 has already seen them play to packed out crowds and will see them take the stage at festivals including the third iteration of Maid of Stone and Steel Paws along with a plethora of shows including support to Brave Rival, Hillbilly Vegas, The Dirty Denims and headline shows with more to be announced. In addition to the new EP, they also offer to all those who sign up to ‘The Revenant Ones’, the band’s fan club, via their website a free 7-track live acoustic EP download. Firmly flying their flag for all to see, “We write about what we know and always want to tell a story or take you on a journey. We’re right where we need to be and we can’t wait for more, this is just the start.”
