The Buddyrevelles were formed in 1997 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin by Aaron Grant (guitar & vocals), Scott Hoch (bass & vocals), and Dan Reinholdt (drums). In 1998, the band recorded and released their first album, September, November on Motorcoat Records and subsequently relocated to Chicago. The album’s melodic layered guitars, vulnerable vocals, taut over-driven bass, and propulsive drumming introduced the band’s distinct but accessible pop sound to the public. Their second album, American Matador was released in 2000. Through it, the band showed a willingness to experiment with increasingly complex song structures and inspired instrumental breaks, while managing to keep their sound firmly rooted in the indie-rock idiom. After a few years, and some major life changes, they released their third album, Don’t Quit, the band’s first release on Chicago’s Solitaire Records, which found them distilling the very best of their previous work into a lithe, muscular 32 minutes of indie pop bliss.
With a newfound sense of purpose and a wealth of life experiences to draw from, they are poised to release more new music. Following closely on the heels of The Consolation (2024) will be the second of three 4-song EPs, entitled The Concession.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by The Buddyrevelles at Erie Sounds in Chicago. The Concession marks a return to the band’s longtime label, Motorcoat Records.
