Review of Six Shot Revival 9/24/09 Performance
~ Celeste Watwood
Rock / Southern Rock / Americana
Location: Atlanta, GA
I can honestly say that I haven’t seen a really unique, high energy rock show that was worth a damn in a long time, but Six Shot Revival broke that streak into a million pieces! When Six Shot Revival took the stage, the bar was raised for the evening! Lead Singer, Marc Phillips, told everyone to join him up front. The crowd did that and pretty much anything else he told them to do for the rest of the night. Whether it was raising those rock fists up high, singing the chorus to the crowd favorite “Secrets”, or just screaming because he wanted them to; the audience did it! And it wasn’t just Marc, the entire band commands your attention as soon as they walk onto the stage. Brandon Purinton gets so pumped up during some of the songs that he can’t even stay seated, so he stands to bang on those drums! And the guitar player Jon Brown has amazing leads, one of which I am still humming. He even busts out a slide guitar for their song “Rebel music”. SSR has harmonies with a likeness to Blind Melon, vocals that are as soulful as Led Zeppelin, and straight up Aerosmith- style guitar riffs that give you NO OPTION BUT TO ROCK!
SSR’s newly released album, “Greatest Hits Vol. I”, was recorded at Southern Tracks studio. The album was mixed and produced by Steven Morrison and Tom Tapley of Tap More Productions, and mastered by Rodney Mills. Give a good listen to “Lady Luck”; I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that on the radio one day. You can purchase the album on the band’s myspace page (see below) or at one of their upcoming shows. Atlanta rock scene, be sure to get those rock fists out and throw them up for Six Shot Revival at one of their next shows : Vinyl on November 7th with Burned and Center Stage on November 20th with Chroma.
