ADIDAS X REVELATION RECORDS


There was a time in my life where any record with a Revelation Records logo on it was considered golden. From their first release of the Warzone 7 inch in 1987, to the 22 releases after it from such bands as Judge, Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, Burn, Inside Out, Side by Side, and more, I worshipped EVERY release Revelation put out. In 1991, Revelation records put out a 2 song e.p. from Ray and Porcell (of Youth of Today), and this is when I feel the label started to change it's direction. Although I really enjoyed many of the subsequent releases including records from Sensefield, Iceburn,Into Another, and Kiss it Goodbye, it was truly the consistency of the first 22 releases (minus the Slipknot 7 inch) that made Revelation Records the legendary record label that it has been for the last 20 years.
Revelation Records teamed up with Adidas to produce this extremely limited (promo only) Campus to celebrate their 150th release, a 22nd anniversary compilation featuring classic Revelation Records songs covered by a cast of 20 bands including Sick of it All, Terror, Ignite, and Set Your Goals.
Only 150 pairs of these shoes were made, with a pair going to each member of every band on the comp... Collectors, I wish you luck!
You can read a detailed interview with Revelation Record's Jordan Cooper about the release on Crooked Tongues.
