Reveille - Laced
Grade: C
By Jess Redmon
 Reveille sound like Rage Against The Machine. The guitar style and sound is similar
to Tom Morello and the vocals are reminiscent to Zach De La Rocha. Throw some
House of Pain, Public Enemy and Tool in there and you have Reveille. It would usually
be fine to banish the band as copy cats, but Reveille is quite talented. The 5 member
Boston band blends Rage style into a new twist, with a roster of well-written rock songs.
The first single "Permanent" runs with threatening rap vocals and a cold engineered
guitar backing. "The Phoenix" and "Feel" spawn a blistering metal pace and aggressive
crossover style. Steve Milkoszewski and Greg Sullivan's guitar work is very impressive
on "Laced" as they build on some of Tom Morello's sounds and create a tightly wound
and aggressive metal backing. It's hard to look at a band like Reveille and not hear the
influences right off the bat. It's very difficult to assess a band like that. One thing for sure
though, Reveille has a lot of talent and you won't be let down by the songs on "Laced" if
you can get past the resemblance
