We Got to Go Now, but the Beat Goes On

This feels weird. Okay, let’s do it. Will make this short and sweet, as it’s being written with a heavy heart. Revolver’s journey started in 2013, as a quest to discover the vast sea of music available around Planet Earth. It’s been a limitless learning experience since, for us and for many of our readers and listeners. It also felt good to share songs, albums, and playlists with strangers around the Internet. Obviously, music is made to be shared but it is also so much more. Music has a power that – you might say we’re biased – no other art has come to compete with. Music is everywhere, all t ..read more

Sleeping With Headphones On: A Chat With Mehrak
Project Revolver
by Yara Mrad
4y ago
It’s a Monday night, Riwaq opens its door again after weeks of mourning, healing and fixing following the Beirut explosion. Among a group of friends and strangers sits a guy with a cap twisted backwards, his elbows resting on his thighs and glasses helping his tired eyes get a better look at everything around him.  Drinks in hand, I walk and sit on the stairs across the street, red light nestled between the hanging plant still in sight.  Guy with the cap makes his way to the stairs on his way home. A chit chat filled with questions and spontaneous answers leads to an invite for a pos ..read more

You can’t fight globalization, but you can definitely out-beat it. The Thai girls of Bitchersweet Girls Cypher EP.1 show us exactly how far you can go to make music sound better.

Top 10 festival anthems
Project Revolver
by Akram Moussa
4y ago
Some songs are typical festival anthems. A catchy chorus, the way they play it, or because it feels summary. Here’s 10 of them you must have heard in a festival camping, or sang along with in a crowd. All My Friends – LCD Soundsystem “But if you’re worried about the weather, then you picked the wrong place to stay“. The perfect festival lyrics for a perfect song. James Murphy is a genius. And sometimes, all of the stars align: when he sings this sentence, under a pouring rain, at Hurricane festival. People don’t care about the weather and dance worry-free. The song also ends with ” If I could ..read more

I’m waiting for the day someone finally tells us that our current state is due to a nationwide Milgram experiment. Finding out that you are a lab rat is easier than admitting that you were/are a victim. Thinking that people are acting in their agentic state is easier than admitting that people in their autonomous state are capable of committing such atrocities. Until then, press play. Stream our Spotify and Anghami Best of 2020 playlists at the bottom of the article. 1. AaRON – Les rivieres 2. LAUREL – Scream Drive Faster 3. FUR – Waiting On You 4.

Introducing: The Magic of Beach House
Project Revolver
by Akram Moussa
4y ago
Beach House… Do they really need an introduction? What’s for certain is that they are not famous enough in comparison to their talent. Victoria & Alex, Beach House Beach House is Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally. Their artistic complicity is what drives the band. First, on record, of course, we feel it because there’s one consistency in their music: they don’t have a bad song. Second, you can also see that complicity in the way they are during their shows. Smiling, joking lightly… being humans. Also, check out how they answered the questions of Stereogum. Teen Dream, Bloom, Depression Che ..read more

Between Hunger and Famine: From the Scene with El Rass & Ziad Nawfal
Project Revolver
by Majd Shidiac
4y ago
The interviews, research, and development of this piece were done in the week of Monday, July 27, 2020⁠—almost a week before Beirut’s most horrific explosion in history. Mourning the hundreds of lives lost, thousands of houses obliterated, and the millions of souls taken by the system to this date, may this piece be a constant reminder of the many open hearts this city carried⁠—and still carries. Even though Lebanon’s October 17 uprisings were positioned as a collective force to terminate money-hungry governance, corrupt ‘leadership’ and colonial, sectarian, racist, and sexist constructs, real ..read more
