Along with The Dirtys, The Revelators were one of the last bands from the era when Crypt Records actively released records by contemporary groups, and they fit in well with all the label's heavyweights from the 1990s. They were from Columbia, Missouri, formed in order to open up at an Oblivians show, and had an uncommon ability to be influenced by rockabilly and country standards yet not sound like a bunch of costumed greasers at a hot rod convention. The Revelators were legit country boys.
In their day, The Revelators released a 7" and LP for Crypt and a 7" for Sympathy For The Record Industry. They recorded a second album in 1988 but it wasn't released until 2009, again on Crypt.Guitarist John Schooley would go on to be the most prolific member after the band broke up. He moved to Austin, Texas, fronted The Hard Feelings for a while, and now has mostly focused on playing as a one man band. Singer Jeremiah would later sing for The Litigators and The Pink Socks, and appears to have last lived in Kansas City. Original drummer Mark left the band before the second LP was recorded (Bill Randt from New Bomb Turks played on that). I don't think he's played in any notable bands since then but he's still a rock fan.
