REVISION A is a four-piece modern rock band based
out of Biloxi, MS. The group is comprised of Jim
Beaugez (Bo-zjay; 21), vocals and guitar; Shannon
Seymour (22), vocals and bass; Jason Robbins (22),
drums and percussion; and David Seymour (25),
vocals and guitar.
The band cites mostly "indie"-rock influences such as
Fugazi, Weezer, Pavement, Sebadoh, Sonic Youth,
The Lemonheads, Jawbox, and Sunny Day Real
Estate; but the REVISION A sound is just as unique
and individual as its three songwriter-vocalists are.
The group formed in August of 1995 when David
discovered Jim and Jason's ad for a bassist. After
one practice session, the three knew they were onto
something good. Playing relentlessly around their
hometown and slightly beyond, the group quickly
became a local favorite.
The name REVISION A came from a naval drafting
term used when David was drafting and designing for
a company in Moss Point, Ms.
In early 1998, David switched to second guitar and
Shannon joined the band as bassist and third
vocalist. After a year and a half of being engaged,
Shannon and David were married in July of 1998.
The band started their own record label, Outer Space
Records, in late November of 1995, and have since
released one e.p. and two full length albums.
Another full-length release is tentatively scheduled
for release in March of 1999, featuring the new band
line-up and 15 tracks of brand-new material.
REVISION A is well known for their high-intensity live
performances; being well-received by both under age
(16-20) and bar age (21+) crowds. To date, the
band has played extensively around their tri-state
area of Mississippi, Louisiana (New Orleans), and
Alabama (Mobile). The summer of 1999 will find the
band on a regional tour of southern, southeastern,
and eastern states in support of their forthcoming cd.
