After more than two decades of starts, stops, and reunions, Revis are finally ready to release their long-awaited sophomore album, Killing Time. The record will be self-released on November 7 and was produced by Robert Davis and Justin Holman, with consulting from legendary producer Michael Beinhorn.
The latest preview from the album is “Stardust (All Around Us),” the second track to be shared following the title single “Killing Time.” While the debut single reflected on the band’s long journey, “Stardust (All Around Us)” takes on a more spiritual tone, highlighting themes of truth and meaning beyond materialism.
Formed in Carbondale, Illinois, by teenage friends Holman and Davis, Revis quickly grew into a national act after signing with Epic Records. Their 2003 debut album Places for Breathing topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart and produced two breakout singles: “Caught in the Rain,” which appeared on the soundtrack for Marvel’s Daredevil, and “Seven,” both of which became staples on rock and alternative radio.
Despite early success, the group faced years of setbacks, including scrapped tours, unreleased material, and long stretches of inactivity. A brief 2010 reunion produced a few singles, but the comeback stalled again. It wasn’t until last year that Holman and Davis reconnected with drummer David Piribauer, resulting in the six-song EP Bottles of Lightning. That release reignited the band’s momentum and paved the way for Killing Time.
Now with a dedicated fan base that has supported them through years of silence, Revis are preparing to return to the stage with their new material. The upcoming tour will balance tracks from Killing Time with selections from Places for Breathing, bridging the band’s early days with their new era.
By releasing the album independently, Revis are embracing full creative control for the first time in their career. Killing Time represents not just a comeback, but also a statement of survival — a record made on their own terms, with the sound and vision that defined them from the start.
Revis are Justin Holman (vocals), Robert Davis (guitar), and David Piribauer (drums).
