Colour Revolt's name is derived from Edwin Abbott's 19th century social commentary, Flatland, an exploration of life in two dimensions. But Colour Revolt is far from two-dimensional, eschewing Fletchers familiar sonic assault of unorthodox song structures and time signatures for a more melancholic though equally guitar-driven aesthetic of the post-grunge Southern gothic. The band's thematic impulse reflects the literary heritage of their native Oxford, Miss., channeling the jagged emotionality and moral ambiguity of the locales forefathers, William Faulkner and Barry Hannah.
Colour Revolt has toured with Dinosaur Jr., Brand New, Black Lips, Okkervil River, Menomena, Explosions In the Sky, Malajube, and Manchester Orchestra among others and will be performing at several showcases at SXSW before heading out on the road again in 2008.
