“Exciting ‘Rev It Up’ Divergent Event Generates Buzz”
For many musicians, music is more than just a hobby or a career—it’s a passion that ignites the soul. Divergent, a three-piece band comprised of lead vocalist, guitarist, and keyboardist James Richards, bassist Mike McAlister, and drummer Paul Richards, embodies this passion in every note they play. After years of questioning their musical dreams, the band finally took the plunge, choosing a name that reflects their unique style and creative process, and refusing to conform to industry norms.
Their debut album was a testament to their commitment to making music that stands out from the crowd. Now, with their sophomore album, “Rev It Up,” Divergent is taking their sound to new heights, embracing the rebellious spirit of classic rock and the adrenaline rush of racing. The title track, “Rev It Up,” is a high-octane anthem that captures the essence of rock ‘n’ roll: living life to the fullest and never looking back.
With blazing guitars, pounding drums, and gritty vocals, Divergent channels the energy of bands like Boston and Kansas, creating a sound that is both polished and raw. Each song on the album is a testament to the band’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of their music and creating something truly unique. From the blistering guitar solos to the soaring harmonies, every moment on “Rev It Up” is a testament to Divergent’s passion for their craft.
But Divergent’s dedication to their music doesn’t stop in the studio. Their rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle extends far beyond the stage, with members like Mike McAlister and James Richards embodying the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll in everything they do. Whether they’re tearing up the stage or tearing up the open road on their motorcycles, Divergent lives and breathes music in everything they do.
So what made now the right time for Divergent to fully commit to their music? For James Richards, it was a reunion with his high school cover band, Chautauqua Road Band, that reignited his passion for music. After years of playing covers, James was inspired to start writing original music and approached Mike and Paul Richards about forming a new band. The rest, as they say, is history.
For Mike McAlister, the decision to commit to Divergent was a natural progression from their cover band days. As they grew tired of playing the same old songs, the band knew it was time to take a leap of faith and start creating their own music. The result is “Rev It Up,” an album that showcases the band’s growth and dedication to their craft.
As they look towards the future, Divergent shows no signs of slowing down. With plans to record their third album in the works, the band is more determined than ever to make music that resonates with their fans and captures the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. For Divergent, the journey is just beginning, and the road ahead is filled with endless possibilities.
