Revival

There are at least 3 groups known by the name Revival. 1) Revival is an alt. country band formed by Josh Read and Evan Berodt of Canyon and Jay Farrar's touring band. Riding back in on the Horses of War, recent-dead tangles with Canyon and Jay Farrar pushed like bodies out the rear door of memory, these are men on a mission – to assume the aching on behalf of all us sad sinners, to alight in the night for a moon they know is reachable. Open spaces aren’t wide enough, high and lonesome not sparse enough, even the rain not wet enough, for the sea-weary longshoremen of Revival.

Kevin Max

Kevin Max is one of the three members of dc Talk and began his solo career in 2001 with the album "Stereotype Be". The record was marketed towards christian music listeners by default, but was not a Christian album, and flopped as a result of the CCM industry "blacklisting" both the album and the artist. However, after a few years the album became a cult success with Christians and non-Christians alike.

Divided By Friday

Not only is Divided By Friday’s style varied from the rest of the pop-rock pack, but it’s their musical maturity and attitude towards the industry that really sets them apart. Unlike most other bands, Divided By Friday’s sense of who and where they are is strong. Working hard from the ground floor up, they plan on selling themselves through their powerful music, not through flashy, lit up logos or other myspace garble.
