Revolt

Revolt is the second album from British rock band 3 Colours Red, released on 8 February 1999. It followed their debut, Pure, from 1997, and was recorded with producer Dave Eringa, who had worked with Manic Street Preachers. Genre-wise it sits between alternative rock and hard rock, and the band moved towards a more polished, commercial sound than before. An EP, Paralyse, came out ahead of the album.

The record climbed to number 17 on the UK album chart, and both singles taken from it reached the UK top 40. Even so, the band split while at their peak, which makes Revolt a snapshot of a group at the height of their powers before a long gap that ended with The Union of Souls in 2004. It is well worth hearing for the sharper production and for the sense of a band reaching for a bigger stage.
