Black Cat Revival (BCR), has been appropriately dubbed by the media as Modern Pop Music’s Evil Twin. Dark, theatrical rock; deep hooks & poetic verse backed by solid jazz-influenced musicianship, enhanced by a powerful multimedia live show. Be afraid, be amused, be entertained. Fans of progressive, alternative, and art rock, metal, pop and avant-garde jazz all find a friend in Black Cat Revival.
The members of the band come from separate states around the United States, but somehow ended up together in a basement at the start of 2001 and started scribbling on the walls. They are Jason Schurtz on drums, Lawrence Desilets on keyboards & backup vocals, Bill Jordan on lead vocals, and Scott Lambridis on bass.
