UK-based goth rock band, Sirens Of Light are back with their new single and video, "Revolver". The track is a cover of the Mission Of Burma classic "That's When I Reach For My Revolver". Sirens Of Light is a gothic rock band from London, originally formed in 2004. Their sound draws on influences from the earliest days of gothic rock and the 80s/90s London goth and glam scenes - The Sisters Of Mercy, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Southern Death Cult, March Violets, Rose Of Avalanche and Bauhaus.
Regarding the decision to cover Mission Of Burma Andy comments: ""Revolver", for me in this particular moment, is a very angry and political song. After the global pandemic and the constant bombardment of media nonsense, we get the feeling everyone feels like reaching for their revolver. That's why it resonated with me at this moment and was chosen."
The world is a very very different place from the time at which the song was written. The frustration and anger in society as a whole has been mostly fueled and made worse by the changes that have taken place in the world. As we get older, we either wake up to the reality of just how messed up it is, or just ignore it and carry on as if nothing is wrong. Link
