Alpha Rev is an American alternative rock band from Austin, Texas, fronted by Casey McPherson (formerly of Endochine).
Casey McPherson started Alpha Rev in 2005 after the breakup of his previous band Endochine. Alpha Rev released their debut album The Greatest Thing I've Ever Learned on March 1, 2007. After releasing "The Greatest Thing" locally, the band signed an agreement with Austin startup Flyer Records. The record was produced by Dwight Baker of Matchbox Studios and the rights were eventually purchased by Hollywood Records.
In 2007 the Myspace.com charts ranked Alpha Rev as the #1 indie band from Texas, and the #16 indie band nationwide. Alpha Rev was selected by Austin Monthly Magazine as one of the local bands most likely to succeed in 2008.
In August 2008 Alpha Rev signed their first major label record deal with Hollywood Records. Their international debut album was recorded at Avatar Studios in New York City. The album, entitled New Morning was produced by David Kahne, engineered by Joe Barresi and mixed by Michael Brauer.
She's got snare in the middle of the night
Making all the right moves comin
She's got black hair in the middle of the night
Leading all like a lamb to a slaughter
She's got snare in the middle of the night
Making all the right moves comin
She's got black hair in the middle of the night
Leading all like a lamb to a slaughter
When I see your eyes
They cut me loose
All over me now
You cover me now
Wanna catch that fire
And be all consumed
All over me now
You cover me now
She's got snare in the middle of the night
Making all the right moves comin
She's got black hair in the middle of the night
Leading all like a lamb to a slaughter
I should know by now
That it won't end well
But I just can't hide
I'm under your spell
When I see your eyes
You turn me loose
I'm under your spell
