Album Description
Available in:
Places for Breathing is the first studio album by American post-grunge band Revis. Released in May 2003 on Epic Records, it was recorded in 2002 at NRG Recording Studios in North Hollywood. The album features the singles "Caught in the Rain" and "Seven" and debuted at number one on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.
All songs were written on acoustic guitar before being demoed. Guitarist Nathaniel Cox wrote all lyrics with some input by vocalist Justin Holman. "A Gift," "Seven," and "Straight Jacket Labels" served as the band's first three demos produced by Tommy Henriksen and Jeff Tilson. They then recorded "Caught in the Rain" and "Spin" to encourage further label hype prior to being signed. Upon their joining Epic Records, Revis worked with famed producer Don Gilmore as well as Andy Wallace and Alan Moulder on mixing. In New York, Wallace provided mixing on two tracks while Moulder covered the remainder of the album.
Session drummer Josh Freese provided drumming tracks with the exception of "Your Wall" which was recorded by new Revis drummer David Piribauer.
Revis toured with Oleander in early 2003 before headlining the second stage of Pearl Jam's tour. They also joined Creed as well as Cold and Evanescence on the first Nintendo Fusion Tour.
The first track, "Caught in the Rain," was originally released as on Daredevil: The Album, the soundtrack for its respective movie, in February 2003. A music video was also produced with director Steven Murashige whose previous work included Incubus' "Pardon Me" and Rage Against the Machine's "Renegades of Funk." "Seven" would serve as a follow-up single and managed to land on the Mainstream Rock chart.
"Caught in the Rain" was also featured on the soundtrack to EA Sports' release MVP Baseball 2003.
User Album Review
The members of Revis are as hungry as Creed and Nickelback, but confident enough to work without radio-tailored psychobabble for their first album. Places for Breathing is a post-alternative mix of explosive guitar riffs and riotous percussion, a strong musical disposition from this Midwestern five-piece. Producer Don Gilmore, who engineered Pearl Jam's debut masterpiece, Ten, focuses on Justin Holman's fierce vocal style. Revis' powerful musicianship is tightly woven around that; however, Revis doesn't have much of a chance to stand apart from the alt-metal pack. From the crunchy album opener, "Caught in the Rain," to "Spin"'s aggressive atmosphere, Revis delivers a catchier melody but falls slightly short in being unique. Throw in a few acoustic-based ballads ("Seven," "Living Rooms") to please the pop kids in the process and you're safe. For a band whose members are barely in their twenties, Revis does show some promise on Places for Breathing. The band cannot thrive on West Coast ideals like most of its counterparts, so naturally its sound will have a different tone -- and that will work for Revis in the long run as long as the group doesn't overcompensate in song and craft.
