New JerseyRED MOUNTAIN REVOLT
Hailing from north central New Jersey, Red Mountain Revolt started out as just a concept band between Christian Nevi and Kyle Merritts. With the two growing up together in the same town and sharing a very similar taste in music, it was only natural for them to want to start collaborating together on music projects. However, contact between the two would dwindle towards their high school years since they would attend two completely different high schools. With Kyle attending the more arts driven high school and Christian attending the trades centered one. Towards the later half of high school and after, Christian and Kyle would restore contact once again and discuss the ideas of starting a band that leaned more towards the hard rock, grunge, and alternative style of sound. This “sound” mostly consisting of Alice In Chains, Led Zeppelin, Supertramp, Rival Sons, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd etc influences. Without a full band to play but the passion to write the music, Christian would take up the drums and guitar for the recording while Kyle would take up the bass and keyboard as well as producing the songs. Hence forming Red Mountain Revolt.
