Revolver is a pop rock band, formed in Paris, in September 2006.

Band

The group consists of:

Beginnings

Christophe Musset (vocals, guitar) and Ambroise Willaume (vocals, guitar, piano), joined by Jérémie Arcache (cello, backing vocals), composed their first songs in an apartment in Paris. Unable to make too much noise, they focused on their vocals and played mainly acoustic instruments, describing their music as "pop de chambre" due to its similarities with chamber music ("musique de chambre" in French). Performing in small venues such as bars and friends' apartments, the band was discovered and signed by the Parisian label Delabel/EMI, releasing the Pop de chambre EP in early 2008. In June 2009, they recorded their first LP Music for a While.[1] Revolver toured France in 2009 with a few dates in Germany[2] and Switzerland, adding percussionist Maxime Garoute and using more electric guitar in their live performances.

Although they sing in English, they were nominated twice at the French Music Awards "Les Victoires de la Musique" in March 2010, for "Révélation album" (Best Debut Album) and "Révélation Scène" (Best New Live Act).
