Don't know alot about this but it deserves inclusion for this is the band put together by ex-Kik Tracee voice Steven Shareaux, but be warned rockers, this is pretty lightweight space-rock with a cosmic feel, like floating through the zenith. Some good tracks, nothing truly outstanding and I do, rather worryingly, or maybe it's just me, get a Radiohead feel from this. There's a lot of soul to Steven's voice, opener without you is very catchy although you wouldn't recognise the guy as the big-haired rocker from Tracee. I don't think Revel8 lasted for too long, but on cuts such as the mellow 'Cool Aid' and the dreamy 'Hello' you can at least get a glimpse of this obscure band, and then wonder just why Kik Tracee couldn't have made it big. Steven must have been a respected singer to gain audition for Motley Crue when Vince left, but with Revel8, this is an almost commercial slice of American rock, very much bereft of hairspray.
6/10
