Colour Revolt's 'Successful' (Alternative Press)

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Colour Revolt's new album 'The Cradle,' out August 10 on New Fear/Dualtone, claims the most added title on the CMJ charts this week as early praise for the album continues to roll in. Here's what we've been hear ing:

"'8 Years'" is as tense and throaty as Lewis Black after five helpings of coffee and cigarettes.'
-RcrdLbl.com

'They're infecting their Southern- and blues-affected brand of slow-cooked indie rock with bouts of restrained tension and vaguely impetuous guitars....No matter what Colour Revolt decide to do on these tracks, each is successful.'
-Alternative Press

"Reflective of how much the band has matured"
-Paste Magazine.com

'['8 Years' is a] dirty, verbose, acerbic and angular account of what it's like to be an indie-rock dude for the better part of a decade. Good track.'
-Nashville Scene
